To models who live within easy access to portions of Historic Route 66, we'd like to meet and have you pose for a shot or two as Paul Bardotz and I travel Route 66 in September.

Don't think of this as a heavily involved photo session.  Paul and I are doing a comprehensive documentary of Route 66 from start to end.  We want to feature people along the way.  Within a day or two of our being at a location, we'll coordinate, you'll meet up with us, we'll take a few photos, and then feature you on our blog or vlog (or both).  You'll also be listed on our website (in advance) as a volunteer model meeting up with us.

These will be treated as a TF session.  You will receive digital files of the images we publish on our website, blog, social media or vlog.  Please do not contact us and then solicit us for doing a paid job.  This is a publicity opportunity for you, and Paul and I are largely self-funding this very expensive endeavor. 

We encourage models meeting up with us to dress appropriately for the location.  We'll leave that up to you.  But, for example, if you plan to meet us at a 50s diner, you might want to dress in 50s fashion.  Another example would be, if you plan to meet us at Alien Jerky, you might want to dress in a sci-fi outfit.

Here is our proposed itinerary:
