One of the most unusual aspects of their visit was our above normal temperatures and lack of snow in March. Denver's snowiest month is March when it is not unusual to have the Front Range slowed to a stop when passing storms dump large quanities of the white stuff. That gave us the opportunity to shoot outside without bundling and running for a heater. Probably the most spectacular opportunity was to capture Lynda in the Snow Angel image in a remaining patch of crystalized snow. This is an image we had talked about before she arrived and because of the lack of new snow thought wasn't an option. It may be unfair to categorize three days of shoots into a single image when each session was unique in its own way. One more benefit that bears reference. As a result of Lynda's work with other photographers and artists, I've met some great new friends and our supporters have been so kind with their comments! The reason I joined DA in the first place was to have my horizons broadened and my visions recalibrated by a global artist community. This visit has made those reasons reality in the flesh. While many of the changes in DA have not been positive in my opinion, the core of an artisticglobal community continues.
This just in... The Today show is now featuring Iris Apple (90) and other mature models in the cosmetic and print industry as I put this to bed. The focus was on "authenticity of aging." Valerie Ramsey (63)/model and authored was also featured-didn't catch the title of her book on modeling. One good partial quote from Valerie is "Courage to be ourselves...is what real beauty is all about."
It's my hope that you will enjoy our work as I share it.
