It doesn't sound too sad to me, and I don't think it is necessarily an acknowledgement of his level of photography.
I am from my own experience that sometimes you want to practice with a particular type of photographs, it might be hard to find those. E.g. I know that I can take good candid type of shots of people (portraits, etc.) but I have very little experience with the posed portraits, as I don't have much experience of _setting_ the poses - I am good at noticing them. I've been wanting to take photos of somebody (relatively photogenic) willing to pose - for free -- just for the photos that the person will get in return. Since I am not earning any money from photography, I cannot justify hiring a professional model. So, I can somewhat understand the person who posted such an add. However, I also feel a bit of desperateness in "if you .. just have any ideas of interesting photographs...", especially if it was posted from NYC, - this city has plenty of interesting subjects and scenes on the streets.
