I tend to be verbose. You really should read the whole profile. But if you want the Twitter version, here it is...
@model:Seattle photographer.If you are in front of my camera, you might be naked, you might not.Please don't flake.Check my references below
Now for the long form version.
Seattle based photographer. I shoot mostly nudes. Occasionally I shoot non-nude work.
I have a day job that isn't photography. I do this because I enjoy it. You should too. I understand that you might do this for a living, but you should enjoy your job.
I do this because I have fun shooting. It is my hobby/artistic outlet. I LOVE to shoot.
I try not to take myself too seriously, because if you can't laugh at yourself you're just a dick.
I prefer to shoot people who are comfortable in their own skin. That shows in the final product. I am ok shooting with someone who is new. Just try to be comfortable with who you are, and "own it".
I understand that things happen and come up from time to time. Life is funny that way. But please give me as much notice as possible if you are going to need to cancel or will be late. I have invested time and money preparing for the shoot, so if you don't show up I've just spent my hard earned money with no photographs to show for it.
I will contact you the day before the shoot to confirm that we are still a go. If I don't get a response from you, I have to conclude you will not be showing up. So it is important that whatever method you give me to communicate with you is something you check frequently. And that you respond to it.
I'm usually a talker, so expect me to be chatty. If I'm not chatty, it doesn't mean I don't like you or the shoot is going wrong, I'm probably just thinkin'. I do that on occasion.
Sometimes my ideas are stupid, but I want to shoot them anyway, just try to roll with it. Sometimes my ideas are offensive, try to roll with that too. If it is something offensive, I will have let you know about it before the shoot so there will be no surprises. Sometimes my ideas are boring, rolling with this is good as well.
I will never pressure you to do something that is outside of your comfort zone or not within your limits. If I think I might want shoot something that is not depicted in your portfolio or mentioned in your profile I'll do my best to run it by you before the shoot. That way there are no surprises.
I should mention I can be vulgar. Like really vulgar. If I get the sense you are not someone who is comfortable with that, I'll hold it back. I have to fake it at work, so I can fake it on a shoot too. But if I think you can handle it you can fully expect my sentences to contain more four letter words than dictionary words.
I don't care if you have an escort. They will be expected to be quiet and not interfere with or provide input into the shoot. They might be expected to hold or bring me something.

I'm learning to shoot video too. Let me know if you're interested in trying that.
Oh and one last thing:
I have three DSLRs, a 35mm, a medium format, an instant, eight lenses (fast glass too!), three portable flashes, and six pro-quality studio flashes. So yeah, my penis is pretty big.
Seriously though, I'm not sure why you need to know what brand/type of camera I'm using or why it would matter. What you need to know is I almost always shoot digital, and of all the crap I mentioned above, I probably only use 10% of it at any given time. So really it's not that I have a big penis (just ask my wife), I just have a problem spending money. The first step is recognizing I have a problem.
That was a joke. If you want me to put that in more polite terms, please allow me to quote Edward Weston:
"The fact is that relatively few photographers ever master their medium. Instead they allow the medium to master them and go on an endless squirrel cage chase from new lens to new paper to new developer to new gadget, never staying with one piece of equipment long enough to learn its full capacities, becoming lost in a maze of technical information that is of little or no use since they don't know what to do with it. - Edward Weston
I am still learning what my equipment can do and make no claims to being the master of anything related to the craft of photography.
