You know its even worse when your setting up a shoto with someone, and its like pulling teeth to get them to give a time, and place.

Well, there's something you should know about Stephie... She scribbles her e-mails and sometimes it's tough to make out what she's trying to say. And if that's not enough, there's often pizza sauce splattered over the important words.

I've been in talks with a developer for 3 months, the model and I have been waiting that long for her to send a contract so I have something in writing to go on

Drives me insane!

hahaha...stop talking about yourself john!

Oh, Gawd....much as I love working with one of my models (not naming names...that's bad form), I never know until the DAY OF THE SHOOT what time she's gonna show.  Frustrating as all get out!

Well...good to see I'm not the only one who believes in ettiquette.  Sheesh, people...how were ya raised?  If somebody e-mails, then ANSWER!!!  Not hard, really...just go to the "reply" box and say something...lol.  In all seriousness, tho...some may say they don't want to bring bad news to somebody interested....well, bad news is much better than silence, let me tell you.  Just reply...it's better for everyone.

You know what tony...I have had photographers tell me in the past about how some models can't take the answer no! Maybe am I lil different in fact I like being told what can help my photos, and if someone is not interested fine, but I don't want to waste my time on emailing them again if they have no desire to work with me. There are lots of photographers out there. One or two photographers saying I'm not what they want its there choice!! I'm not gonna get pissed just cause they have a certain look they are looking for. All I want is a simple yes or no.

you know Tony I'm so fed up with modeling, and this whole industry on unreliable photographers, and mdoels, that when I get a regular job instead of this I'll just fucking Quit! I'm tired of the flakes, and photographers not responding when I'm a reliable model, and they can't see it!! I've worked with some wonderful people, but this is beginning to be bullshit!!

It really is frustrating....especially when the good guys in the industry (I count myself in that category....) read about the frustrations models and other photogs have with the bad ones.  Why can't people just hit the "reply" space?
