I hate Jazz music and prog rock. Top forty makes me throw up in my mouth just a little bit. Yet, millions of people would totally disagree with me. What's my point? Different people have different tastes and preferences and that's ok. It's what makes the world an interesting place.
If you approach me about shooting and I decline, it's not a commentary on your inherent worth. You may be a lovely person and good looking too, but you just may not be my cup of tea. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and, in the past, worrying about that meant that I'd accepted shoots with models who don't do it for me, and those photos tended to suck. I'm determined to be true to my tastes from now on, and therefore, more selective.
I'm tired of making excuses about workload, or being too busy. I've got to be more up front about these things. So, dear models, if you contact me and I decline, don't take it personally. You just may be jazz. But keep in mind that there are tons of people out there who list jazz as their favorite.
K, thanks.
Excellent thought process. Its your vision.
Keep it on.
