Boy, do I have some Tales to Tell...
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
 
A few weeks ago, when it was scarily warm outside, I agreed to be a "model" for a friend. She wanted to take some shots of my "body parts in motion." She said that she was going to rent some studio space to do the shoot. I said I would do it. I told her that I was fine wearing short shorts and a sleeveless tee so that she could get as much skin as she needed. Then she said, "Oh, we can do it in the Park, if it's still nice out."

Well, folks... it's supposed to be this coming Saturday. It's no longer "nice" out. At least, no longer nice for short shorts and a sleeveless tee. As a matter of fact, this Saturday is more of a parka and corduroy pants kinda day. She still wants to do it. She even reminded twice yesterday. I mentioned the not-shorts-friendly weather that was approaching. She said, "Oh, you'll have some clothes on."

So, here is the dilemma. I know I told her I would do it. It is a favor. But, I don't want to do it out in the cold. I also think she wants to avoid renting studio space because money is tight for her. Which I understand. But it's going to snow this weekend. I think I will speak to her and ask her to either move the date or rent studio space. I know she is doing some other shots for some other people. But that is not really my dilemma. I just don't want to freeze and get sick.

Am I wrong? Later.

Unless there is some specific reason that the shot MUST take place outdoors, there's no reason why she shouldn't get some sort of indoor space in which to shoot.

And more importantly, if you feel uncomfortable in front of someone's camera, even at the very last second before the shutter goes off, for any reason, or even for no reason at all, don't let that person take photos of you. Period.
 
I agree with Mr. G --- tho, I guess I will do just about anything in the name of art. And, I've never been uncomfortable in front of a camera.

But, it will be cold!

Cool blog!
 
oh yeah, tell her to change the date. I completely agree with everyone else.
 
Hey g8s, just wanted to tell you that I am following your 365 days shots. Excellent job.
 
Thanks, Tim.
