Hair fly

Talk about having a lot of energy, Lacey was awesome in creating these fantastic photos with me in Portland. It was a great excuse to do a shoot in Portland while having sometime off at the Monaco hotel. I have been wanting to do something like this for three months and just let everything hang out with no preconceived out comes. Just create. Let me tell you it felt fantastic.

Modern Seduction

©2008 Loren Callahan

Can I say I love Dawn Tunnell!!! Yes. The wizard makeup artist, and no you can't blame her for other peoples genetics (inside joke), pictured in the background with model Claire Z., created master pieces yesterday for our "Modern Seduction" shoot in Hunts Point.

Much thanks to Garth the owner of the amazing water front home. Who had the smarts along with the state to put a video camera in one of the oldest trees in Bellevue to record the bald eagles living in it!!!. And the mother just had little ones three days ago! So on Garth's big flat screen we watched the mother feed her chicks during lunch. Amazing!!!

Another big thanks to big Glen for giving us the use of his new '08 Bentley GT. Sweet car. Ya should have stuck around Glen!

And last but not least the crew:

On hair we had Will (Big Willie) Francalangia, simply amazing "don't take the black out" style and so funny, funny man!!!

Lindsay Baucsh was our awesome sassy southern bell wardrobe woman.

Tuan lesoleil designer, thank you so much for your beautiful dresses and the help around set!!!

And our wonderful models Clair Z. and Maria B. We couldn't have done it without you!

A 12 hour day full of laughter and professionalism. I love the art we were able to create because of all of you. Look for the photos on my website within the next two weeks.

John Marzano Dies

I took this photo of John Marzano way back in 1996 when I was freelancing for the P-I in Seattle. It is a shock to read that he died on April 20th. The article from the Tacoma News Tribune is linked. He was 45 years old. I am glad that I was able to capture this great photo of him. It just shows how loyal he was to his team. Paul O'Neill is in the head lock.
