DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

2009-10-26T20:04:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago my good friend, Amanda, called me about an idea for a shoot. After a few calls and a couple emails we found ourselves gathered in my kitchen making coffee at 7-o-clock at night. Everything was set up. Justina and I had our stations prepped. The models, Leah, Ashley, and Mayra, were ready to get their faces and hair did -n-done. Amanda had just finished transforming my dining room into a studio. Now, all we needed was our coffee.

We finally finished the shoot around 2am and drank about 3 pots of coffee. Here's sneak peak on the shoot. Come through on Sunday!

Me, Metamorphosis, and Gumps

Last year I did a fashion show auction with Metamorphosis Salon for a fundraiser event hosted by Gumps. Gumps gave 25 lamp shades to 25 different artists and asked them to decorate them to be auctioned off. It was amazing what some of these artists came up with. I wish I had more picures of the lamps.... enjoy! All photos by Jon Gomez
