Sheer Mayhem

Get it?

This summer has been pure craziness, in good ways and bad. Right now leaning towards the good end, I hope. I have several potential jobs lined up, and hopefully one of them pans out! I have my order of preference, but don't ask - it's a secret.

In the meantime, to fill my conventional-job-less days, I've been shooting like crazy. Weddings, some corporate events, and lots and lots of models (most from Model Mayhem - get it now?) In fact, I've been shooting so much, that I've developed a lump-like callous on the joint on the inside of my middle finger from rubbing against the grip of my camera. I show it to anyone who will sit long enough to listen to me cry, "I'm deformed!"

But, my lovely models. I'll go through them slowly so I have a couple of days worth of posts - a little reprieve for my callous.

This is Jen, Suffolk U. student and someone I would consider to be a great sociologist, if not anthropologist. This was supposed to just be a low-key urban fashion shoot, but she was so interesting and so full of personality, I think we got more talking done than shooting.

She also had one of the most fascinating apartments I have ever seen. It was the size of the closet, but it was retro-ed up and wall to wall black and red construction paper that she draws on. And, well... here:

And, she lights the whole thing with red light bulbs:

And, she has the most amazing, sparkly eyes ever:

Ladies and gentlemen, that is the amazing Jen Mayhem.
