I haven't gone looking for inspiration in a long time, and I keep coming back for this one to get me to write recently. It is always old things too, I'll find. I love your gallery, but each day (oh, jeez, creepster alert) I've gotta look at this shot. Her expression really makes me smile, and I've gotta open notepad again, and try to quickly jerk out thoughts.

Over two years later, and it is still a great shot. I did see the flickr link in one of the comments, and I sort of ate those up too.

Awesome.

I'm assuming that you saw the rest of the set? [link] is all Charlotte. She's such a wonderful model, with a contagious smile. I actually had that photograph in my first show, and it was the first one that sold. You can imagine how hard it is to sell portraits of people that the buyers don't know personally.

I'd love to maybe read something that you wrote after seeing this one?

Thank you for the fabulous comment, it made my day.

Comrade-Kelly In reply to showna [2008-12-07 01:41:46 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I did see the rest. She's goooorgeeeous. I really want to see this one revisited. Has her appearance changed any? Contagious? Her smile is a virus.

I went through your flickr . I actually couldn't believe the coffee shop Matt Mixon ones though. I know I saw it in your gallery, but my brain might have not been connecting. I was sort of like, "This world is really too small." I'm seeing Misery Signals (err, was--Karl has bronchitis? :< for my birthday, and so when I saw it, I was like, ""

When I first saw your piece, a wee bit later, I had cranked this out: [link] so I think there's some of the virus in that piece, however, I've been working on something else. I actually really enjoyed writing that.

Jeez, I'm a lurker. I swear.

I'm at work right now, and everything I've got is in like, pieces, but I'll try to get something up tomorrowish for ya! :]

Also. Fab people deserve fab commentskthx.

Misery Signals? Matt Mixon? I'm failing to make the connection....

One of his friends is in Fall Out Boy or something and he was in one of the photos someone took for a magazine once and a lot of people know know my work saw it and were like, "OMG one of your models is in a magazine!!!" When I shot him... he was a bartender

Oh, and randomly, his DAD who lives in California, saw his photos on flickr too and sent me flickr mail about it! Random!!

I might actually be moving to her city shortly (I'm full of randoms today, I swear.) But she's always been a willing model, so I'll probably shoot her again. She was photographed by my favorite Milwaukee photographer as well, T.H. Taylor. He's so AMAZING!! I should see if he has a website for you.

Comrade-Kelly In reply to showna [2008-12-08 18:22:16 +0000 UTC]

They're one of his friends' bands from the great Cheese-state. In fact, he's wearing one of their hoodies in one of your shots. So my brain was like, "Ohhh, she knows!"

Yeah, his entire house is an a band of some sort. I know of him because of FOB mainly, but he used to be in a band himself, blah, blah, blah.

Just a bartender? Didn't your mum ever tell you not to pick up boys in bars, missy? I guess makin' of the arts is okay! Haha. That is pretty random, and then you've got me going through and being all, "OH I KNOW THAT FACE" and stuff. Oh, the eccentricities of my youth.

Either way, I encourage you to move to her city and TAKETAKETAKE more pictures. I might be in love with her. Man, I should get more sleep so that I'm not all "omgomgomg" uncontrollably. Soon enough, I'll be like, that's it--I claim `showna in the name of Kelly.

Oooh, I'd be very interested in seeing! I'd be so stoked to see it, and be exposed to more fotographsss. Share the wealth, missy!

Haha -- didn't even begin to put two and two together with the band's name on his shirt.

I actually saw Charlotte last weekend! Begging me to photograph her again. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You shall get a personal message directly from me when they are posted!

Comrade-Kelly In reply to showna [2008-12-18 14:23:23 +0000 UTC]

Shut up, really?
I am obviously Charlotte's biggest fan. If I could have her face on my shirt without it being super creeeeeeepy, I'd do it. It would make the world smile, and a better place.

Oh, I would absolutely looove a message! You must be a total doll to work with--so the begging is only natural.

Yay, this is one of the best messages I've gotten today! I'm so stoked. Thanks for adding to the birthday glow!

ok. i know i know. you're thinking,...
'where the fuck you been???'
*sigh*
it would simply take too long to tell ya.
besides,...i'd much rather be blathering about
these excellant shots of your's!!!
like this one!! oh. i've been keeping up girl.
and the series you've done with this lovely
creature is one of my faves!! i love the
spontaneity created by the gesture of covering
her face. also digging the off balance of the shot
and how she stands out against the backdrop.
that black shirt she's wearing almost gives her
the appearance of a vector rendering. that's
pretty cool.
ok. don't wanna waste all my gibber gabber on
this one.
nice going!!

i love this one - its so natural and i also love how the sweater drapes on her body and covers her hand - you can still see the joy despite the hand's placement - well done
