waiting

Yesterday morning, on the way out the door I grabbed a Leica and shoved it in my jacket pocket. By the time I made it to the edge of town, the fog had mostly burned off and the light was a little harsh, so I only took a very few photos. The idea is there, now I just need the right light, coinciding with enough time to do the concept justice.

Last night I thought about posting a casting call for Sunday, and then decided that I value the time more than I value the chance to shoot with another model. Especially after I saw a post by a model I've encountered before, said no to once before. She's fairly well known, but tends to be demanding and unpredictable. This time was no exception, she listed a couple of "needs" to shoot... and I don't need to shoot that badly.

So Thursday and Friday will be busy with work, then Saturday a friend is coming into town from Chicago, and I've promised to show her around San Francisco. Sunday, I'm probably going to go up to the hot springs and just read and relax. I'm feeling like I need that at the moment, as if the time off will recharge my creative ability more than the chance to shoot. Besides, the Kansas City trip is less than two weeks away, with seven or eight models currently clamoring for four slots.
