Make   sure   the   details   of   the   arrangement   are   clearly  understood  and  set  in  wriAng  whenever   possible.   2.? Make  sure  that  the  date,  Ame  and  other  details   of  the  event  are  strictly  followed.  Most  owners   are   understandably   annoyed   if   you   promise   a   one-­?hour   photoshoot   that   turns   into   four   hours.   3.? Make   sure   that   whatever   you   promised   the   owner   is   exactly   what   you   deliver,   or   more   –   never   less.   Welching   on   a   bartered   deal   is   a   good   way   to   quickly   earn   a   bad   reputaAon,   and   the   fast   road   to   being   banned   from   future   items  you  may  wish  to  barter  for.   4.? Make   sure   that   the   items   are   returned   in   the   same  condiAon  as  borrowed.  (When  borrowing   property,  whether  it  is  a  vase  of  a  classic  Buick,   I   always   make   sure   my   insurance   policy   will   cover  any  damages.   Modern Model Page 31
