Model Behaviour

Now some time ago I decided that I would try to stretch the ol' photographic technique by involving the flash gun - duly trotted off and got a stofen thingie (diffuser I believe is the technical term) for the flash. Has instant appeal because it supposedly means that I can use the flash with fast colour film (still not as fast as the B&W tho'). Duly tried this out with a part used FP4 - not exactly happy with results - but then this is a trial and error thing - practice makes perfect and all that jazz...I've never been a fan of flash anyway but if it means I can generate some extra income I'm all for it.

Anyway, having chosen this course of action I spoke with a mate who said that she'd be happy to act as a model so that I could get the flash technique sorted. Arranged to do this one evening -no props required and no nudity (really don't even want to go there thanks very much - do you know how much it would cost in broken lenses?) All I wanted was about 30 minutes of someone's precious time - mate in question cries off - suddenly has to go to Luton Airport - OK no problem another day perhaps, Gets call following sunday can I help with the car - needs a new radiator fitting - no worries I can do that - gives up sunday morning lazy session & fits rad to car. All happy, see you whenever - How 'bout monday evening she says - OK no problem, again cries off with second trip to airport - I'll call you when I get back from Scotland. Well you can guess the rest can't you - no call -why am I not suprised by yet another let down.
So Mate should you happen to read this (which I doubt) take note: If you don't want to do something to help someone don't say you're going to - and secondly if you want to live in chaos don't drag other people down. Might see you, might not - Oh and if you need help I'll be at Gatwick.
