[Natalia Obradovicova | ph. Robert Voltaire]
In the words of Robert Voltaire:
It’s early morning.
You’ve driven an hour to reach the model’s apartment. You call her.
There’s no answer.
You wait for 30 minutes and you call again.
There’s no answer.
You drive an hour home.
The model’s agent calls you and asks you to drive back. They love your work and plead with you to shoot her.
You agree and drive back.
When you arrive, you call the model.
There is no answer.
You call the agency and they call the model. They apologize and say the model fell back asleep.
They beg you to wait for thirty more minutes.
Finally, she shows up, disheveled, grousing about the night before.
You say to her, “Stop whining. Today is a new day.”
She looks at you with her deep blue stare, nonplussed.
Your day may not have gotten off to the best start, but it is all up from here.
You will take charge.
You will create a new friend and new work.
