The Best Job in the World!
By Mike Bean
Boy, am I a lucky guy! I have the best job in the world. I've been involved with photo days since 1976 and an active sponsor since 1986. I was recently plowing through my storage unit and came across a couple of boxes of photographs that had been taken by me at many of my events and during private shoots in my studio. As I looked through the pictures, trying to identify the models, it came to me that I've worked with some of the most beautiful women in the world. They may not be famous actresses or supermodels, but to me every one of these girls leaves me with memories that I am extremely fond of. Unfortunately, as we grow older, portions of our internal hard drives develop bad sectors. I find that I can describe a particular shoot or event, or I can tell you something about the model, but in some cases, I can't remember her name. I find that very distressing. If you know me very well, you know that I absolutely refuse to grow up. But there comes a time when you have to admit that you might be getting older. I decided to dedicate a couple of pages of this site to the models of the past who made my life grand and glorious. I loved them all and want the world to see some of the ones who are important to me. Beware - Some are naked and some are not, but in order for you to know them as I knew them, you have to see them as I saw them. I purposely chose pictures that would not be offensive to most people, even being nude. As an extra precaution, I've identified the sets that contain nudity with (Nudity). If you are offended by nudity, just don't go there. Some sets only contain 1 photo. I'm hoping that I'll discover more in storage. I've also tried to place a time period with each model. Some of these pictures are over twenty years old and some paperwork has been long lost. If you find your picture on these pages, and it bothers you, please call me and let me know. I will remove any photos of anyone who calls and can reasonable identify yourself. I've also purposely only identified the models that I remembered by first name. Any unknown models will be identified by a number. If you can identify an unknown or see where I have made a mistake in my old age, let me or my Webmaster know. This is going to be an ongoing project. I still have thousands of slides to go through. So bear with me and come back often.
This section is dedicated to models of the past, but also want to mention the models who are attending our events currently. Someday, a second addition will be added to commemorate your attendance at photo events. I truly love you all. We indeed are the luckiest guys in the world to be involved in some small way with these incredible girls. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude that can possibly never be repaid.
