Thank you all who wished me a happy birthday, and it is kind of you to say, but you're about 3 months too early
My real birthday is March 11- dA didn't give me the option of abstaining from listing my birthday so today's was a false one given in a fit of pique.**************************
I am going to be doing an extensive tour of North America in 2011. Every month, visiting and shooting in a different place. If you would be interested in bringing me to your city, email/message me! I'll be compiling a list of areas to visit ranked according level of interest, and will post them as plans and bookings are confirmed. Some cities I'm particularly keen on traveling to are L.A./S.F., Chicago, Toronto, and New York. But, I NEED to know in advance where the hot spots to go are, so talk to me!
A lot of thought has been put into this, and there are a couple of variables that have shown to be constant. To visit a city, two conditions need fulfilled:
1. I'll be depending on the hospitality of others to keep travel costs down, so at bare minimum I'll need someone to host me and let me crash on their couch.
2. I need a minimum of *5* bookings, discussed seriously beforehand and, when that magic number 5 is hit, confirmed with retainers.
Once the above prerequisites are covered, travel schedules will be set in stone. I'm aiming to plan 6-9 months in advance for any given city outside the west coast- for more details, please contact me. I'm actually quite looking forward to being a gypsy.
Models and designers/stylists, I can be booked to shoot you or your creations while in your city! Photographers, I can offer workshops and one-on-one coaching on any and all aspects of how I shoot/work! Everyone else, send me an email and I'm sure we can work out something for what you've got in mind
(btw, since I guess I never made this obvious on dA: I'm retired as a model. I ONLY work as a photographer/set designer/stylist/post-processer/misc.behind-the-scene-jobs now.)
