I wonder..
1.  How much will it cost to buy 20 gallons of wholesale milk?
2.  The Jaccuzi bath tub in the bedroom, is it off limit?

you buy a big box of generic powdered milk and fill the tub with water and add powder to taste

many, many, MANY moons ago, back when dinosaurs still roamed the land, and before i ever picked up a camera or even met my wife, i tried giving the girl i was seeing a bath in milk... again, not for any photographic reasons... this was waaaaay before i ever discovered photography... my reasons were very simple - i was trying to impress her

here's what i learned from the experience...

milk, real milk, is heavy... especially when you need gallons upon gallons of it... my buick that i was driving at the time almost collapsed from the load, and it only had enough in the trunk to maybe fill up half the tub...

so, with real milk ruled out as an option, i settled on powdered milk... that presented it's own set of problems... powdered milk dilutes great in a small container like a glass, but not so great in something as big as a bathtub... you end up getting this real clumpy weird mixture that kind of sort of looks like milk, but also looks like oatmeal or something

as you can probably tell by now, the milk bath ended up being a colossal failure

so, i would recommend against trying to do the milk shot at the shootout... filling up that jacuzzi with real milk will end up being a gigantic pain, and powdered milk will probably get in the jets and will fuck the thing up completely....

plus, the master bedroom jacuzzi sits surrounded by carpet... from what i've learned with my kids, milk and carpet do not mix... even a tiniest of spills is tough to wash off, and the carpet will stink like rotten milk for days and weeks after...

so, i would probably say that milk shot in the master bedroom jacuzzi is not the best of ideas...

but........ there's like 5 bathrooms in that house, and one of them has to have a great looking bathtub... i'll ask the owner about doing that shot in one of those

Milk powder....Hmmmmm, not a bad idea.  If worst come to worst, I will think of something else concerning actual milk.

Shooting in the bathroom, not a bad idea.  You can toss that milk idea out.  Logistically, it is too difficult to pull it off.

damnit... now i feel like a party pooper

don't give up on this shot yet.... it may very well be possibly to do with some powdered milk in one of the baths in one of the bathrooms...

I figure a typical bath tub that holds liquid to submerge a person is about 1.8 meter x 0.8 meter x 0.4 meter=0.576.  0.576 cubic meter is 152 gallons!!  There is no way, I am too optimistic; but if I ever have a chance, I will do it.  Oh well, I will think of something else with milk. 

I wish those European farmers don't just dump the milk in the field (protesting against falling milk price).  I am sure there are a lot of good use for it (laugh).  Milk fight! 15 USD per person entry fee.

i haven't decided about Zhanna yet...

i really like her look, but i'm not sure i like her "presence"... the spark of confidence i look for in models is not there with her yet... i think it's mostly because she's new and hasn't relaxed enough in front of the camera... it is strictly a matter of confidence, that i think it will come with more shooting... for now she is still at a phase where you need to pull shots out of her, she doesn't yet know how to give them to you (god, i hope this made sense)...

i would shoot her anytime she asks... but for a group shoot i don't know... i don't want you guys spending time trying to pull a shot, especially when there are so many great models available that know exactly how to give you a shot you need...

so, like i said, i really like her, but i'm still undecided...

if you guys tell me you want her back, i will have no issues putting her on the lineup...

ummm no it is Turkish word

Shashlik or Shishlyk is a Turkish word borrowed by many languages including English. (Armenian:, Խորոված , Hebrew: Shishlyk שישליק, Persian: Å iÅ¡lik شیشلیک  , Bulgarian: Шишче, Ukrainian: Шашлик, Russian: Шашлык, Lithuanian: Å aÅ¡lykas, Polish: Szaszłyk  from Crimean Tatar Şışlıq[1][2]) - Turkic way of grilling meat, popular in India, Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Ukraine and Russia. This form of skewered dish is popular throughout Israel, the former Soviet Union, Bulgaria  and Mongolia. It is another word for the Shish variation of the Kebab.
