What a downer.
I’ve had an image deleted daily for the past week on Instagram (for going against their community guidelines). It’s their platform, their rules. I totally understand this, and just because others on the platform get away with it doesn’t make it right, but it still hurts.
Instagram is a great way for me to meet new models to shoot, so losing that network might become an issue going forwards. For now I’ll sit tight, and see if my account does get permanently disabled. If it does I’ll have to figure some stuff out!
PS: Last night I had a dream where I’d forgotten to take the bins out the night before. I woke up to the sound of the garbage truck close by (I’ve been here before IRL!). I got up quickly to take the bins out before the truck got to my house, but for some reason my bins were next door, so I jumped the fence to get them but my next door neighbour saw me in the process. Thinking that my neighbour was going to be mad about me trespassing onto their property, he pulled me aside and asked “just what gives you the right to post nude photos on Instagram?!”. I thought about explaining my work, but thought it would be useless, so I decided not to. I asked instead if he was the one reporting my posts and his wife came into the room, smirking and nodding “yes, oh yes we’ve been reporting!”.
