Greetings,

It was a calm and quiet week compared to last week. Other than a serious fire on the rim that was only about 5 miles away. The fire is still going, but it is certainly less active. Although we drove back to Chandler for an overnight stay on Monday, and on our drive out, we had at LEAST fifty fire support vehicles, including hotshot trucks, pass us going towards the fire. We have no idea how many we missed, so they are still very actively fighting that fire. It was lightning-caused.

As you’ll see, there are a good number of new edits from the sessions I had last week. I may also have a few new ones from past shoots. It was a fantastic week of shoots, laughter, and creativity. I found it interesting that as I scan through the images taken, I don’t recognize some of them at all—the whole sets with certain outfits. Either I’m getting old, or that was a whirlwind week of shoots—or both.

It was fantastic fun and good for my soul to visit and hang out with friends. And, of course, create!

It is just in the talk stage, but what would you think of a shoot with Griffin and Elley out on the dunes? I’m thinking some nude and some steampunk with those two would be as epic as it gets.

Some new edits with Nikki and some from Rebecca haven’t seen the light in way too long. And a few of Marcella and Violet. So much beauty in this gallery.

Until next week!! Enjoy art anywhere you can find it. Make it a priority.
