You are now the 4th person I know who's birthdate is January 8th: my best friend - Lindy, my mate - Keiron, The King (but I'm sure you knew that already!), & now you
Thx for offering to take my pix! I am very flattered. But there are just one or two questions / favours I need to ask:
1. You say your hometown is Jozi, but that you're "currently in London". So what does that actually mean? Are you here or there? Or a bit of both?! (I hope the latter, & you'll see why during the next paragraph...)
2. Do you seriously drive a Vanquish?!? Because if so, then you are definitely the man I need to speak to re: that rather pricey set of Agent Provocateur lingerie I want to wear for my first SG set (see today's journal entry). After all, a man who can afford to drive an Aston Martin can surely afford to buy a girl a bra (36A) & a pair of knickers (large), right
Yeah, yeah, call me a sycophantic slag if you will, but the Rand / Pound exchange is as frightening as always, so a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!
Anyway, onto other matters: It seems you & my better half, Lee, have quite a bit in common...
a) His ultimate dream car is an Aston Martin. (He currently drives a black Honda Accord - S Type). Were you here at the recent
launch of the Aston Martin showroom in Sandton? It looked / sounded like quite an awesome affair.
b) He also met Dave Gahan - while he was working at Segaworld in London back in '96 / '97. Quite surprisingly, none of the Pommies who worked there knew who the hell Dave Gahan was, so Lee actually got the honour of spending a full day with the man & his son - giving them as many free games & rides as their hearts desired
Oh, well, guess I'd better get back to work now Lemme know 'bout getting hold of that AP lingerie & setting up a date for a shoot, 'kay?
Um, I've just had a look at a posting by Missy in the SG Hopefuls Group, & when it comes to using a new photographer, she has some serious recommendations:
1. The model should check her prospective photographer's references & portfolio first.
2. The model should email the photographer a few of her favourite SG photos as examples of the style she likes, & the type of message she would want her own set to portray about her personality etc. He needs to let her know if he can execute this style & standard of work, or not.
3. The initial meeting between model & photographer should always happen in a public place.
4. The model should always bring a friend along to the shoot - even if he/she just sits in the other room - it is better to have someone around that you know & trust, just in case.
And finally, she warns:
"NO OFFICIAL SG PHOTOGRAPHER WILL EVER ADVERTISE OR E-MAIL YOU SOLICITING THEIR SERVICES. WE DO NOT HAVE RECRUITERS."

That all said, I'm prepared to overlook the fact that you did actually mail me direct, solicitating your photographic services
I'm sure you can understand, however, that I will be needing to see a handful of references, plus your portfolio, before we can take this any further.
