Ok, so I now have my new passport and I am hoping to do some travelling this summer. I have someone I want to visit and do some wam work with in California. What I want to know is if there are any producers in the US who would like to work with me? Make my trip worthwhile! It will be a working trip, so I will be looking to get as much in as possible while I am there.
If I get enough bookings with producers, then it will be going ahead. But I need a few more definites before I start planning anything!
Come on guys, help make this happen!! It's about time I got pied with Cool Whip pies and experienced some US mudpits!! And all the rest you have to offer!! There are some people I would absolutely LOVE to have some messy fun with, far too many to mention actually, but this will be a once in a life time trip for me and I want to make the most of it!!
I doubt private sessions would be possible for several very importand reasons. Mainly; safety. Here, I run sessions from my home and make sure I get a good rappor with the client beforehand. And because I am organising it all, I have no surprises. I am also safe in my own home where help is on stand by at given time.
Going to a strangers home on my own carries very serious risks. Unless a producer near to you would be willing to host the session. But it would still have to be planned carefully in advance with all my rules and regulations to be followed as they are here. But custom requests would probably be very possible.
As soon as I have a list of potential producer collaborations, we can work on finer details!
Jessie, I absolutely love your work. If you wind up on the eastern side of the US, I'm up here in Michigan and I would absolutely love to work with you. Unfortunately, California is on the other side of the US completely from where I am.
Cali is such a beautiful place, a perfect travel destination. I hope you enjoy your trip
If not covered in frosting, are you really living?
I'd give anything to see the girls from Wambabes and you in a seriously messy foodfight, maybe dressed up in something nice and elegant. Ahhhh, at least a guy can dream.

I agree - you NEED to try to shoot with wambabes if at all possible.
I feel like I should look at this as a sign from above that it's time I became a WAM producer. Jessie deserves to experience real pies, in as large a quantity as I can afford. Let me apply for a few small business loans and I'll get back to you.
I shoot in both Seattle and Las Vegas, so if you are going to be on the west coast near either of those, let me know!
If you haven't been here before, keep in mind that the US is BIG - about 2800 miles across (4500 km) so if you're landing on the east coast, a trip to the west coast is not a trivial jaunt. It's about a 6 hour flight from New York to Los Angeles and that crosses 4 time zones. You'll already be crossing 5 zones just getting to the east coast, so your internal clock will be all kinds of screwed up
Put me down as a "definite" if you have west coast plans.
I second the idea that SlapstickStuff goes British! Hell I even recommend maybe a Meet-up at RiRa's in downtown Charlotte!!!! RiRa's is an Irish pub, so its british-isle-ish.
