Wow, it’s been too long since the last blog post. Well it’s time to let you know what the heck I’ve been doing. So this month’s post continues where I dropped off last year with my first photo safari to another city that made it’s mark building our country – St. Louis.
In addition to a new city, a new model – Colin.
I met Colin through another wonderful model who will appear in next month’s blog. They are good friends, drawing inspiration and encouraging each other.
From the very start, Colin proved to be a wonderful addition to the image-making process. He has the drive to take full advantage of these unique locations with no hesitation and plenty of stamina.
While exploring a derelict warehouse, he readily climbed into filthy wooden shelves and onto rust-covered metal slides with little complaint. I was thrilled with his response to my direction – another extraordinary individual willing to go that extra mile.
It sounds like I’m gushing over my recent models, but you have to understand that these are not normal photographic scenarios. There are definite risks and dangers in these environments. I appreciate the fact that these guys trust my vision and are equally invested in making more than a photograph. They want to make art!
There’s more adventures from St. Louis to come so stay tuned.
