I just got another tease from her. "I will try to this week I don't
start work till Monday so I should have some free time."
I resisted saying, "Now, where have I heard that before?"
As a rule, I give them one chance to flake. I will try and set up a
second shoot, but after that, I'm not interested in having my time
wasted if the cancel or pursue a shoot but won't commit to a time.
Apparently, I'm a lot more forgiving than a lot of photographers out
there, who if the model flakes on them once, they cease to exist.
I mean really, how many times can your Grandmother die?

I'd probably take the same tack if I had any kind of options.
Unfortunately, I'm still at the begging-for-scraps stage of
photography. So, if she calls ten minutes before she's ready to do a
shoot, I'll probably say something like, "Well, I was scheduled for a
liver transplant. But, you know, I'd probably just abuse it like I did
the last one. So, yeah -- see you in ten minutes."
Maybe when I have a few worthy shots under my belt, I can be a bit
more cavalier toward models.
I'm finding that I would rather photograph a rock covered with cormorant
shit on it than waste my time with flakey models. Having said that, my
last model shoot was about a year and a half ago. I've pretty much given
up on pursuing the genre anyway.
I haven't yet been desperate enough for a subject that a guano covered
stone looks good, maybe this year is the one.
