Models - can't live with them, can shoot them


I got enough applications to pick four good model by late Thursday and early Friday.
Then is the question: Will they reply on the assignment confirmation? Will they answer the phone? And most of all, will they get here on time.
The status late Friday was:
Model 1 Lina-Marie: Twenty or so text messages, and three phone calls she would show up early Saturday
Model 2 Sara A: Missed the train in Karlstad. After checking all possibilities, including picking her up with a private plane, she picked a train to Hallsberg and I had to pick her up there = 2 times 1.5 hours in or minibus.
Model 3 Maria L: Arrived on time and with the correct train!
Model 4: Got hold of her coming back from Hallsberg around 22.15 but she was on her way to Stockholm. She planned to come down during Saturday, but finally did not.

To their defense, it was extremely short notice on this shoot. I normally do not do training shoots, but I wanted to try out some new lightning equipment I am planning to buy.

A came back with Sandra to Linköping to find out that my assistant Jonas had taken well care of Maria L, both tipsy on wine. :)

To keep my promise to Sara I had to cook for them. A quick Asian seafood noodle soup was wrapped up and serve at my fancy living room.
