Every once in awhile, to get a good laugh, I peruse craigslist listings for "photographers".

Here are a couple of good ones today. Honestly can't tell what these are about - I just shake my head and laugh!

photographer/no exp nec

Party Photographer

Have a nice weekend all!

I thought about it, but I'm afraid they'd end up sending me to a Congressman's home.....

I took your idea and did a search on our Bay Area Craigslist. I don't know what to make of this gig:

"Student Photographer Seeks Pregnant Models (nob hill)
Date: 2011-09-02, 10:10AM PDT
Reply to: gigs-gye8r-2578660803@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
Pregnant women of all sizes sought for a collage type photo series for school. i cannot afford to pay you but i will give you a CD with your images on it. If you can spare 45 minutes to an hour and don't mind posing with a male model, please reply. My idea is to photograph you with a man who, through societies views, may not be a good match in certain settings (at whole foods, or the theaters, etc.). I can provide more information and some of my work if you are interested."


WTF???


Now this is one I should try:

"Date: 2011-09-02, 8:54AM PDT
Reply to: gigs-kcduu-2578499129@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
Ladies, would you like to be photographed in different types of wet t-shirts? This is a fun project and all types are welcome. Thanks and I hope to hear from you. "

LoL.. I checked our local listings. The number of people advertising for "Amateur photographer looking for Model to pose nude in exchange for photos"...

You've got to wonder if it ever works!
