Confirmed booking: I have a home shoot next Saturday & I've PM'd the model via MM to attain her home address. Hopefully, she'll read & send her address. Please, reply soon...
Late cancellation/no show: I've also been sharing rants with another photographer. He worked with a certain model successfully for a second time. My planned first shoot with this 'Retiring' model was in a pre-paid hotel room three days later on Friday 13th!!!! Yeah, I know... Anyway, she phoned & cancelled after I had just booked in! LOL. More to this story soon...
Clothing: I also checked my mail box today. I was too lazy yesterday. Anyway, I now have two bolero shrug tops that I purchased from Ebay. Purchased & paid Thursday evening & received on Saturday morning. One is black & the other is pink. I regularly use a white one with models & Joel Hicks ripped my last black shrug whilst posing with Katy Pectin. All on purpose, of course! ;) They were great together. But I digress...
Studio lighting: I'm currently using a Lencarta 300w light with a very old Portaflash (Remember those?) series 5 light (320). I had this light for about 11-12 years & I'm still on the original flash tube. Once it blows I'll stick it out for our local WEEE collection & buy another one. I'm seriously considering dumping my studio lighting in favour of hot shoe flash. I only use them in hotels & models' homes. That's something for me to sort out soon.
