Update #5: The Entire Series
So I'm done with the editing.
The entire series is done. Came out to 22 total images, not the dozen I thought, which is *wonderful*. I am ecstatic.

Update #3: missing a tripod
I owe you all a video. The minute I find the tripod, you're getting one.
Things have slowed down all over, but I'm still pulling things together for the exhibition. I've been looking around at venues and seeing what's available, etc. There are some truly fabulous spaces in this town.
Hugh MacLeod talked in his recent blog about not caring about being accepted by the New York gallery mafia and it resonated strongly with me.
That's what this project is entirely about for me.
I don't fit the gallerist mold. I'm not hip. I'm not trendy. I'm not in my 20s. I'm not single. I'm not taking photographs of industrial spaces or landscapes or straight portraits.
I'm married, I'm a Momma, I've got a corporate dayjob, I'm whatever the opposite of trendy is and I'm turning 40 this year. I take photos of women. Nude, clothed, the occasional man too when I can get one to show up and who is cool with taking his clothes off. Yes, there's landscape and architectural in my book of work too, but that's not my passion.
The female form is my passion and myth and goddesses and the space between breaths when we sleep.
It's not Cool.
But it is Beautiful.
*smooch*
Update #2: So What Does $5K Buy You?
Got some awesome feedback in the form of a question, asking what the funds will be used to, y'know, actually buy?
So what will $5,000 buy you, you ask?
It buys the venue - I am hoping to book/use The Black Cat Gallery here in sunny Culver City, which happens to also be home to the famed Black Cat Festival (http://www.blackcatart.com).
It buys actual real promotion and marketing and invitations to all the arts writers/journos here in LA (I have a list!).
It pays for printing of giclees, mats, and pro gallery frames of not just the BH&H series, but also the close to 30 other images I plan on showing. This part is actually the lion's share of the budget, as printing high quality giclees and not skimping on mat and frames is *expensive*.
It buys supplies and actual catering.
It pays for the entertainment, which in this case would be live music and (hopefully) live fire performers. Cause, really, what's a show with Hell in the title without a little fire?
And that, you wonderful people, is what $5K buys you to turn an exhibit into an event.
Update #1: Sneak Peek!
The web gallery for Between Heaven & Hell is now live! Right now, only eight of the images are live, but the next four will be coming along shortly.
These, by the way, are just the images for the series. I will be showing a lot more work than just these twelve, which I will be putting in an additional gallery very soon.
Enjoy!
