Close call, stolen stuff by companion
Last night I had a photoshoot at the last moment the llama , casually mentioned that would be bringing her cousin to help. I used to had strong rules about companions but eventually those rules got relaxed. The shoot was uneventful. This morning I received a text-message from the llama with apologies , telling me that her cousin took "some small stuff " from the studio. After a long check the missing things are really small ( Toilet paper and a few decorative items) , nevertheless it was a close call. Live and Learn.

The take almost anything but then let you know they have them Weird but a curious way of attracting attention to themselves.

Unless it's someone I know or trust - or is working for me - I don't want them on the set or location.

Jun 26 12 10:19 am Link I think it happens a lot more than people realize which is why I prefer shoots outdoors and where I know the equipment etc I need is very close by. It's impossible to keep an eye on someones companion when you are busy setting up and taking shots, naturally companions get bored especially if its a long shoot. I'm glad to hear nothing precious was taken. It's a serious lesson for everyone out there, I certainly took note.
