Moments

Some moments you cherish and other you wish never happened. Well, two of those moments you wish never happened happened today. The second was when, after writing a lengthy description of the first and clicking OK to submit, I lost all that due to a time-out. I'm not going to re-write it since I can't remember everything I wrote. It was meaningful, but I'll summarize instead.

Today I was going out with one of my figure models to do a shoot in an outdoor location. The short of it is that her ex-boyfriend doesn't approve and came to my house looking for her and talked to my wife while I was away. I had talked to him on my cell phone earlier under the pretense that he wanted me to photograph some graffitti for him. I told him I didn't like to meet people at my house, but didn't tell him where I lived. My wife told him where we were going, and we eventually turned back not wanting to worry about him showing up during the shoot, which would have ruined the session whether he did or not. When we returned to my house, he had been waiting for us and a verbal discussion ensued in the street in front of my house. I stood my ground, he made some vague threats. I told him I did not want to see him around here again.

My model convinced him to go home, but before he left he asked me if this would affect my willingness to shoot some photos for him.

yeah, I shook my head, too.

Anyway, this is a bit of an anecdote for those of you interested in photographing nude women. It's a tricky business. I'd heard plenty of jealous boyfriend stories, but hadn't experienced one until today. I hope she can resolve the issue and make a clean break from this guy.

The original post was much better.

I'm off in a 1/2 hour to photograph a mother and hew new baby. I think this session will go better.

Oh yeah, I think these random words are relating to my day in a way that is becoming a bit freaky.
