I just flew to Mexico City on almost no notice to do a casting. I was in and out in two days. It might seem like a long way to go to take pictures of naked girls, but it paid off in spades. I like doing that anyway—taking off and looking for models instead of having a bunch of go-sees come by my place while I get fat on the couch. Most photographers just take whatever girl the agencies send around. That’s why you see the same five girls in everyone else’s photos.
