For a while, I'd posted on my various web presences that I was taking a break and not actively seeking models. It had the desired result, the steady flow of unsolicited requests gradually tapered off; one nice thing about working mostly with smart models is that they can and do read.
So for about three months I didn't shoot a whole lot, just a few times; one that I solicited, and a couple that happened as a result of in person encounters.
With the recent change of direction, it was time to shoot again. So I got active in various places again, thinking it would take a while to stir up some activity. But then a few days ago, signs of life began to appear. Lots of them.
It began when I posted a casting call, something I don't do all that often. There were four or five responses, not as many as I've gotten on some previous occasions, but these were mostly quality replies. Then someone I'd talked to months ago about a local shoot resurfaced. Then coincidentally, one of my favorite local models e-mailed and inquired about shooting again. Two more out of town unsolicited offers came in last night and today.
Currently I have two shoots scheduled here, one scheduled and two tentative at a time to be negotiated in the Bay Area, and offers for if-I-ever-get-there from Fresno and somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Iowa (but she offers to drive to KC or St. Louis).
The local shoots happen first. From there, we'll see what happens.
