I had the honor of shooting with Andy and Jay for a day in Rome one of those hot summers -- it was amazing to watch two experts at work.

Just because an image appeared on Jay's site does not mean I shot it. He is a competent photographer in his own right, and numerous other people worked for him. We were indeed friends and went on some great adventures together, but make no mistake, I was hired to do that work. I'm a "3rd world man" (as the band "Rush" would call me) and even a modest camera system is several to many months wages for me... never mind the airplanes, hotels, food, etc. I deeply appreciate that he sent me places I would never have seen otherwise, and trusted me with camera equipment the likes of which I will probably never again own.

No.

It got to the point where it was more popular for people to cut the logos off pics from the site and post them on forums free of charge than it was to pay the fee to legitimately enter the site. I live in a country where no one has ever sat on the grass (6 legged critters will bite holes in your skin if you do), and all the steps are so grimy that people barely want to walk on them, let alone sit on them. I won't say an upskirt has never been seen here, but I've never seen one (well, ok, just the other day I saw a dirty old homeless woman was sitting on the curb in a dress - I'm sure there was an angle there somewhere - but I walked behind her to avoid any nightmare mental images, just in case she was showing something). So with more pirates than customers, Jay couldn't afford to send me to the places where I used to get all that great material. That effectively ended our adventures, and eventually his site.

To put it a different way, it's great that guys like Tonto and Aqua** have 100's of hours of free time (and trust me, the DO have 100's and 100's of hours of time invested on all those images they've posted), and an undisclosed quantity of disposable income to spend on the expenses of this "hobby", but that is a first world luxury that I unfortunately do not have. Jay needed those funds, or I couldn't go shooting.

Oh well, time moves on & everything changes. It was fun (but a lot of sweaty work) while it lasted.


** Since Aqua started this hobby on film in the late 60's, and has practiced it nearly continuously ever since, it wouldn't be a complete surprise if he's spend over 15,000 hours getting images for you guys !!!!

Glad to hear from two legends. But what an irony. You are not active, anymore. The technology makes easier for us to shoot uppie and airfare is getting cheaper. I went to Europe in June. It was paradise for uppie shooter. I still sucked badly taking pics, though. I understand how much skill required to take those pics. I truly appreciate your effort and impact given to this community. Thank you.

BTW, is Spud alive and well?

....Uppys just 'pop up' in front of Tonto...even if he tries to look away,not much time invested on Tonto's path...they are just there,its effortless for Tonto to see uppies,maybe luck??
