Photographing Countdown to 4.23 this past weekend wasn’t really an option this year.
It was necessary because I needed to feed my soul.
The Creative Process can be a bit of a roller coaster for me but there’s one thing I know for sure; show up for what you love & you will be rewarded one way or another.
Though I missed out on capturing a lot of what was going on outside of the PHOTOSTUDIO where I set up shop … I’m not bitter, really. There was a propaganda workshop, a calendar being printed on an old letterpress, plus a de Stijl-named band called 4 Lines.
What I was supposed to experience was coming to me in the studio.
Flommists came to get their pictures taken with Mondrian and Van Doesburg and Rietveld. I photographed models wearing amazing clothes designed by Gerry GOS” Simpson, and then there was Alley Scheffki, the human canvas.
Not to mention the great conversations I had and new friends I met that have become a piece of my thread.
Thanks Mehallo, my flucking flommist professor for another great event. Let’s wing it again next year!
