So.
I'm having an online chat with a photographer.
He's doing a Helmut-Newton-inspired shoot in Ottawa in mid-january.
There is a slim chance I might get paid for this but, failing that, I will get some (probably) very spiffy pictures for my portfolio. Which is always helpful.
We've been meandering all over the place, but we seem to be actually talking nuts and bolts now (finally). After, like, an hour of more-or-less all small-talk. (And, admittedly, looking at reference pictures).
Questions for the People of LJ:
How do I shrink pictures using GIMP? (Not crop, just render to a smaller size).
Any ideas for how to keep one's lips from chapping like hell in the winter?
[EDIT: Online chat is finally over. Three hours. Wah!
He asked me if my girlfriend minds that I model. It is to laugh. I sent him to check out (one of) her modeling site(s). Now his head is full of ideas involving both of us. I'm, like: "Dude. If you want her in the shoot, you have to talk to her yourself. And, no, I'm not making the call on whether or not she'd *like* to dress up as a man."
That's not to say she wouldn't. She does do drag. (The character's name is Josh). But I don't want to be the one answering that question. Or the question of "do you think she'd like to shoot with us" when the pay-rate is listed as "negotiable". I made sure he knew that she makes her living doing this stuff.
Anyway. We've got some ideas. Mostly the stuff he's come up with are things that involve other people, but the shoot on the 17th would be just me. Not sure what we'll be doing then - though it'll depend on where the shoot happens.
Anywhoo.
I'm tired.
I've been sitting in this chair for three hours.
It's time to go to bed.
G'night all.
