She initiates contact w/ me about working together. We discuss ideas & schedule a shoot date. Get into side conversations ranging from how old I am (apparently this matters to some people) to favorite movies to she eventually inviting to make me dinner after our shoot.
It suddenly turns on the question of me asking gas money & suddenly cancels. Apparently, the reasons for canceling were, "if you're going to ask for that, I have to wonder what else you'll want." Uh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I guess she has a point, w/ that , speeding is a gateway crime to Murder 1.
Talk about a 180. LOL
Nevermind neglecting to ask for references. Nevermind she never asking to meet in a public place to see if I'm actually real. Nevermind actually knowing someone before you invite to make dinner for them. Nevermind that her husband was already going to be in attendance (he was going to be participating in the shoot).
I guess the bright spot in all this is that, no shoot means I do not have to muddle through the drudgery of editing.
In fairness, though I may complain about the headaches, I find it cathartic & entertaining to talk about them. In reality for every 1 headache, there are probably 6-7 prospective models that either go through w/ a shoot or decline in a civil manner. Either way, my life will go on.

In brighter note, this is Lindsay. She is kinda like the complete opposite of the aforementioned bipolar weirdo.
This particular shoot occurred in two parts. The first part was like a comedy of errors constant interruptions, a swarm of insects, wacky weather, a bleeding wound that wouldn't stop bleeding (she said she cut leg shaving & when the band-aid came off, the bleeding recommenced). We got what we could.
The second part (we both randomly found time in our schedules) & got together lickety-split at her place. That one went off w/o a hitch.
Lindsay describes herself as a "shoe fiend." The shot below was created by her picking the outfit, having her sit in the general area where she is, & I randomly tossed the shoes up in the air. Where & how they landed is what you currently see in the below photo.
Enjoy.

To comment on your issue w/blogger cutting off your images, it's actually the layout you've chosen - no matter what you choose for pre-chosen sizes, it will cut it off if it is too big for the column that contains the writing. Try writing the image tag yourself, which would be <*img src="http://www.flickr.com/matt/image.jpg" width="450" height="325"> with the http:// being the actual link to the image and take out the * before the word img. Also, if your image is tall, rather than wide, switch the numbers so the height is the larger number. The number indicates the number of pixels. If that still is too big you can decrease the numbers, just make sure you do them evenly so the image doesn't stretch. Good luck!
Thanks, Ally.
