There’s a good deal more to post from this project as I finish them up. My friend Fluffy put all this together with an eye towards making a calendar. We might not get a calendar made this year, but we got some nice pin-up shots and will be making posters for sale. Next year, we’ll try for a full calendar.
Miller’s is an amazing hot rod shop in the North Valleys. They make custom rat rods that are truly beautiful. I’m hoping to do more work with them in the future.
Erica Tavormina, the talented fashion designer responsible for the Fort Churchill project from a few posts ago, keeps coming up with great material to photograph. We took this photo at about 5 AM in order to have the location to ourselves (it’s a public spot right near Virginia Street in Reno). Lit with the same portable strobes that I used at Churchill.
It’s been a while since my last update, but there has been plenty going on behind the scenes. I’ve been doing a considerable amount of architectural photography lately, and recently had the chance to photograph the joint creation of Jack Hawkins and Baron Hershberger. It’s an incredible place, made even more impressive by the synergy between the modern structure and the original 1940’s homes in the neighborhood.
I’ll be posting more material from this project as time permits. In addition, many of the photos will be featured in an upcoming issue of Reno Magazine.
I’ve got an art show coming up in September! It will be at Discology, a cool little music store above Satellite and Blue Moon Pizza on California Ave. The reception will be a fun night…besides Pabst Blue Ribbon and the usual art reception stuff, I’m organizing an after party at Tonic featuring local bands Knightfall and The Flesh Hammers (and perhaps others). Mark your calendars!
