Holiday weekend update.

Friday.
I attended a gallery opeing for an artist that i posed for and offered to shoot the event as well.

here i am wearing one of the prints that i posed for











then later we went to get food and i got drunk, pretty rare thing i do,


Then Saturday I had a shoot with an amazing artist. I usually show up for a shoot in loose fitting clothes, no makeup, like a blank canvas.
I had no idea there was going to be hiking, or i would have worn sneakers or closed toe shoes, boots what ever, not my favorite flip flops.
Nor did i know i was going to need a machete because there was going to be lots of nature, the kind with thorns, Nor did i know i was going to be in Icy cold dark brook water that was almost over my head at times and potentially get hypothermia, i may be exaggerating a tad, but i was naked in cold ass water, with little fish, and slippery mossy rocks and all sorts of shit i could not see to the bottom. and BUGS! my worst fears, Bugs and cold dark water! and i thought this would last about 3 hrs, we started at 10ish and ended at 5! at least 6 hrs! i was pruned and wrinkled and cold to the bone even after i got home and it was about 80 degrees at night. But i loved his work, and knew it would be worth the agony in the end. and he was really sweet young Russian artist.
I shot some images along the way.









that's the water i was in!
