An unexpected bonus for me of working in creative studio settings is getting to know really interesting people, like this young woman who I can now call a friend. Models have an undeserved reputation as shallow, dull people, but that hasn't been my experience so far -- maybe I've just been fortunate. Alina, for example has the intelligence, drive and insights to become the CEO of a green tech company or something similar one day.
