xxx, the no-show photographer.

As a couple of my previous entries have indicated, I have recently had a run-in with a photographer.

Or, rather, a lack of a run-in. See this entry, and this entry.

I'd write this off as a loss, label it as a "learning experience," and move on- but I spent over 200 dollars that I couldn't afford to spend.

And, xxx, if you're reading this- and I know you are- this email with identifying information isn't coming down until I receive a money order for $450 in the mail. Considering that the agreed-upon amount was $750, I feel that I'm being more than generous.

You've stood up the wrong model and feminist.

I guess I'll go ahead and answer this while awaiting to see if the Zip files made it ...

I had actually seen some of your work online with Bob Coulter, etc, and thought you'd make a great art model, but I also made a dumb assumption you were a NY area model.
I also read a blog that you have, but it made comments about Canada, but I don't think I ever read anything about you being in DC.
Anyway ... it's nice to see that you're somewhat local. :)

I don't shoot anything for the WWW - I have a gallery in xxxxxxxxxxxxx

It's not a problem you don't drive - some models don't. I've used Amtrak many times myself and the fares/rails vary in price from about $50-90 I think it varies upon the actual rail you select or if you use business class. Anyway .. I've always offered models $750 for a day shoot which would cover transportation and a hotel room. Usually, as part of the shoot, I'll shoot a model where she's staying.

Obviously, I shoot nudes and some erotic content, but I don't get into the "spread shots" or more adult work. So, we're on the same page there.

Jim- When I stand you up and don't return your calls or refund you for your travel expenses or pay a cancellation fee, I promise to post all of the information about myself that you just tried to post.

Until I recieve my money, the info's not coming down. It's that simple. If you can afford to spend 750 on a shoot, you can afford that.

I can't say I didn't see that move by Jim from about a mile off. Hey Jim, you moron, do you really think Candy is going to let you post her info all over her own blog? You really are a moron as well as an utter douchebag.
