Hello
It's been a long ass while since I've posted something over here. Still alive, heart still beating.
Fun news. I'm managing a model agency now. It's awesome and I get to work with some awesome models. The bad part is that I make little to no money because of the shit market here. Just means a LOT of more work, but there's the satisfaction of doing a good job.
Now, I've found something unsettling. I can't mess with my girls, and the non-models get insecure and shoot me down because of that insecurity. Which...is...sad. Now, I have a policy of staying off the girls I work with and I've found all the holes in my policy so far. I don't shoot any of the girls I date/sleep with (only naked photos of them though...I have a nice catalog of those as mementos that I keep hidden).
First hole in theory: the time I had a one night stand with a girl I ended up working with a month later.
Second hole in theory: the time I tried to have a one night stand before we signed a girl. Which led to some messing around, the girl climaxing thanks to my hand. Then, 2 days later, she fucked one of my friends with my condoms that I gave him cause I saw it coming. Drank my ass off that night and went running the next day to detox.
On another note, there's a lady I took photos of for her boyfriend (she's close to her 40s and has 3 kids). They're nudes, boudoir-styled. In any case, the photos are amazing, but she doesn't want to pay me the remaning fraction of the contract. Since she's MIA now, it really upsets me...first of all for the lack of respect for me as a person (not even as a photographer) and because I NEED the money. If she doesn't contact me in the next 8 days, I'll go public with the nude photos of her to blogs and amateur pornsites...wit her full name, address, email and phone number. Not really thrilled by having to execute the threat if it comes to that, it just pisses me off that I have to come to this to have the contract fulfilled. This or let it be and let client know that if she doesn't pay, I won't hold privacy. What do you think?
Also, yesterday I was almost struck by lightning. It fell what I believe was 30ft away from me to my right. All I remember was seeing the thing strike just to my right and sparks flying from the post between the lightning and me. Ran under some garage (it was a dry thunderstorm) and started laughing really hard...because it missed.
Cheers.
