Sunday 29th September 2013

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.
