I travel a lot and send out invitations to shoot and get responses back a year or so later but I don't recall getting  one after 2+ years.

When I send out my initial contact I'll usually say something like "I'll be in your area for the next 2 - 3 weeks or what ever and I'll get a reply a year later saying "Hey, are you still in town?" It's not always easy to control my inner smart ass but I'll usually just say no, but I hope to be back some day. I did that to one model and 5 months later she replied, "OK, just let me know.

I sent a welcoming message to a new model on September 9, 2013.

At least she didn't list herself as "Very Experienced"
