Late-night snack after the shoot. He asked if I'd still let others film me. I said that depends on his performance.

That's a wrap. Today's photographer gets full marks.

Last one before lights out. Today's cameraman... not very professional.

I turned around because he called my name.

He was holding the camera for this one. Shaking like that—don't save it.

The new set I bought still has the tag on. He said shoot first, once it's cut it can't be returned.

This was taken secretly this morning. No makeup, no zooming in.

I promised to make him breakfast. The fried egg burned again, so I'll make it up to him some other way.

He says only he can shoot from this angle. Fine, then only he gets to film me.

Didn't blow-dry my hair again. He said at the door the water sound was too loud to record audio. Then just don't record it.

It's windy on the balcony. The cameraman says the neighbors will see. So what if they see.

He told me to count to three before turning around. I turned at two.

He put the camera down himself. This one doesn't count as mine.

The cameraman didn't hold the camera steady today. The footage is shaky, bear with it.

Wearing someone's shirt. He hasn't noticed one's missing yet.

Making breakfast for my cameraman. Burned it. He said don't move, eat after the shoot.

…The later ones, he didn't tell me to shoot. I wanted to.

First post from the new place. The photographer was drafted, and his hands shook the whole time. We agreed on ten seconds. He shot for forty minutes.

I had the cameraman record the door opening too. Saving it for the cringe archive.

Way too much stuff. At the new place I've got the spare room. Next door is someone I've known since we were kids.
