CHARLENE, CHRISTIAN, BROOKE

Happy Holidays! May you get to spend special time with your loved ones throughout the next few weeks and may your home be full of delicious food and cheer.  This little newsletter has been very still for most of the summer and fall, and its time that some of this year's past adventures receive a small glimpse of the spotlight.

 

CHARLENE AVA

In accordance with the Swedish Ice Fishing Team paper dolls image (refer to the original post here) Ms. Charlene Ava was a good sport and let me create a fantasy world for her, too:

Charlene is an amazing vocalist for hire way up in Manhattan, but is developing a solo record of her own. We made a few images that will hopefully help her along the way.

CHARLENE AND CHRISTIAN: FLOATING PEOPLE

Also as part of Charlene's shoot, we started another new series:  pictures of people floating in the air.  Here are the first two utilizing that idea:  with Charlene on the left, and my new client and friend Christian Smith, who let me kick start his modeling portfolio by coming to the studio for an afternoon:

BROOKE WAGGONER

For those who may have missed a few of my tweets when the following picture was buzzing about, here is one of my friend Brooke Waggoner who was able to use it in this Rolling Stone posting. Brooke was able to play the new record during our shoot and I have no doubt that you will be hearing it echo across the heartland on television and in radio throughout 2013. Keep up with her at www.brookewaggoner.com and snap up her many albums-they are especially fitting for when you're nursing a hot tea on a cold day. A perfect gift! ;) Do you remember when we made a RORSHAK picture together last year? (Remember here.)

 
Note the 'black piano keys' made from foam core that ate up my xacto blades, each supported by an apple box from behind Brooke. The spotlight's shadow made a tie-type shape on the background-further reinforcing the reference to musical symbols. That was incidental and discovered on set. Serendipitous!

In an upcoming letter, I look forward to sharing some of Yancy Richmond's fabulous new photos, a few more from Brooke and Charlene as their projects develop, as well as highlights from this year's model shoots.

 

 

EXHIBIT

A RORSHAK exhibit is hanging at The Building in East Nashville through the end of November, and will be announced at a new location in December with the next newsletter.

A commitment to brevity forces the conclusion of this note for the month, however.  If you need pictures anytime at all, please let me know!

Thank you so much for being a part of my newsletter simply by reading through it.
