Make Art…Not War – An Evening at the AfterModern.
So, I want to include in this blog not only my crazy little tips, but what inspires me, makes me want to create. What fuels the imagination and brings me joy. Last night was a perfect example. A gallery exhibit at the Aftermodern I worked on with an uber talented art director, Suzanne Shade, the architect of the concept, and a fabulous film retouching house, XYZ Graphics run by the amazing Steve Waterloo. It was a collaboration of many people, my part being to bring photographers together with Suzanne and XYZ to create a series called ‘Happy Endings’ – Seven photographers interpret the endings of seven stories in their own personal way. The idea being that the photographers would shoot their concept and XYZ would composite and retouch the photos to bring their visions to life. It was most impressive – ranging from the very dark to hilarious. Throw in the El Tonayense Taco Truck serving excellent carnitas and carne asada tacos, some great beer and wine and a load of talented, fun people and it makes for a pretty inspiring evening!
And last, but certainly not least, the photographers:
