So, I tried doing this today, and I still can! It’s a miracle.

Melt With You
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
zoe.fuzzychair.4.4.03 @ 2003 Bryce Lankard
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time
And there’s nothing you and I won’t do
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(We should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(We should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
(We should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human’s race
(We should see) Never comprehending a race that’s long gone by
(Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let’s stop the world) You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time
And there’s nothing you and I won’t do
(Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you
The future’s open wide
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(I’ll stop the world) You’ve seen some changes and it’s getting better all the time
And there’s nothing you and I won’t do
(I’ll stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you
The future’s open wide
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(I’ll stop the world) You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time
And there’s nothing you and I won’t do
(I’ll stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you
I’ll stop the world and melt with you (I’ll stop the world and melt with you)

Pictures I love that have been scanned from old contact sheets. None of these are final prints. Maybe I’ll pull out a bunch of contact sheets from modeling. It’s fun going back. This is what I miss about how photography used to be. Getting a contact sheet, looking at it with the photographer, discussing each picture. Arguing over why one stands out above all the rest without the need for a computer screen. I always hated my butt, Bryce never saw my butt the way I did. One got a hell yes from him, while the other got a no way am I showing that to anyone from me. And it was never about his talent… it was always about my insecurities. Because when I look at some of the pictures I said no to 7 years ago, I really think I may have been completely insane. But I am anal. But so is Bryce. Very anal, since he never printed any of these and well… I kind of think they rock. But getting back to contact sheets. As I hold this one up and look at it… it feels so much more authentic than a CD Rom. It looks like someone loved it once. It looks like someone cared about these pictures. It looks like a project laid out ready to be birthed. I have more images on contact sheets than anything else. The images I have on CD Roms I never look at. I am so very thankful I was a model before digital technology really took hold and that I have these contact sheets to look back on now.

Bahamas 1999 with Bryce Lankard
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Right before the MTV Music Video awards on 9.9.1999, Nine Inch Nails went to the Bahamas for a month in August to rehearse for the show. So, we camped out at a little hotel owned by Island Records with a music studio right across the street. Led Zepplin recorded there. Bob Marley. The Stones. You name it. While my husband was working in the studio I didn’t have much to do during the day except snorkel, lounge around by the pool, order expensive drinks with umbrellas in them and harass Bryce Lankard to fly down and do some photos. He did. And this is what happened.

Something Fun ~ Lindsay Garrett in New Orleans

Nothing Impresses a Cat ©Lindsay Garrett
Meerpee always wanted to model. He demanded to be in the frame. So Lindsay just ran with it.
Manuello Paganelli

I just spent an evening standing next to Manuello signing photography books from the toy camera show we were both in last night. So, our images are fresh in my mind. Thought I’d share.

In Sydney with Michael Marlborough
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
OK – so I’ve known Mick for YEARS now. Three days after I launched ARTnudes.com he was my very first subscriber. And years after, he’s been just like a brother. Before “social networking” was alive and fully fluent on the webs ~ I started this discussion forum on Excite.com – I’m talking 1998. Oh how naive I was to think that it would last. But, Mick was on board all throughout. He helped me weed out trolls then and he’s still helping me. Anyway… We went from excite.com (closed down due to nudity), to Communityzero.com (closed down due to nudity), to yahoo.com (closed it down because it was horrible), and then finally to my own site hosted on my own servers. No more closing down. In 2000, when my husband was touring with Nine Inch Nails, I stayed over an extra day in Sydney before heading to Melbourne and modeled for Michael. He brought me to this great white space of a studio and then turned on Prince. Done. I was ready. We made some awesome images. Here are a few. (That story was entirely too short! I’ll have to make up for that.)

With Leonard Nimoy @ Ace Gallery in Los Angeles
Sunday, September 27th, 2009
I worked with Leonard Nimoy in 2003 @ Ace Gallery in Los Angeles. What a great space! It was fun, we had the entire gallery at our disposal. Leonard was great to work with, fun, smart ideas, open to collaboration and was extremely focused on what he was shooting. Alison Caterall modeled with me.
Growing up with Leonard on the television set all the time, it was a bit surreal because I was so accustomed to his voice already. Especially from “In Search Of…” I loved that show and his voice is singed into my memory from that. But, I quickly got over that and went about modeling business. It was fun. He has done some special things for me afterwards and I’ll always be grateful.

New Orleans with Jackson Hill

Jackson Hill runs Southern Lights Studio in New Orleans. I remember being totally upset about Katrina and emailing him to see if he was OK… he bailed to Jackson, MS. Appropriate. Luckily all my NOLA photographer friends left town. The location images were taken at Trent Reznor’s home in the Garden District and the Studio images were made inside Jackson’s studio. He has a great set up in New Orleans. And a wonderful mind. I always enjoyed talking with him about Mac technology with photography because he was one of the few people in New Orleans back then who had the foresight to actually set up his work environment using Apple Technology. Good stuff. Geek stuff. Check out his other work.
Rochester with Dan Olek

Dan runs around Rochester and finds the coolest people to hang out with. He brought me to this HUGE HUGE HUGE artists concave tucked away in the city with artists billowing out of everywhere. It’s a pretty art friendly town. I enjoyed myself there. Enjoy the photos. DanOlek.com for more of his work. He’s extremely creative.
