Let me tell you - its easy to be the person in the background in NYC because these wannabe models are all over just standing on corners inform of locations and some guy and gal(?) is taking their picture and I know I know i will wait a few seconds until the picture is taken but if they don't wrap it up I m waling by, I usually try to walk behind the photog but sometimes the only way to go is behind the model and you become the person in the background.
Another thing - non of these models are stunners - a lot of them are very skinny with a little bubble and in a photo, it looks a lot bigger in person. Also, the thick ones are not as thick as in these model shoots
