Interesting. I've never shot any actual models, but I can definitely see how if "models" were in it for the short run and not willing to take the time to make a good shot into a great shot, how that would wear down your passion. There truly is an art form to being a good model, and the good Lord did not give me those skills haha.

If you did start shooting again, would you still be doing photos in the same vein as before while stressing the experience more, or a different style?

And yeah, haha these past 4/5 days have gone much better than I thought it would. I am really enjoying how I'm incentivized to make new content, as well as see people who I am "getting to know" content.
It's like what my great-great-grandfather used to say.. "the internet is a cool thing"
