Savoring the Rations: Late 1940s Perspective

Thanks to Julia of Eastport, ME; I left the state with a fabulous vintage wardrobe.  Her friend's shop was going out of business, and she was more than happy to place heels, capes, dresses, gloves, and even pantyhose in my capable hands.  This was a brief "lunch" set I did with Craig Dean.  We usually take a lunch break, with fantastic concoctions and deserts straight from Craig's recipe book and memory from time aboard sea-going vessels around China, Cuba, and Eastern Europe.  These inevitable lead to Romni, Latin, and many other vibes.  Sometimes my wardrobe evokes its own set, as in this case when Arthur Cadieux, a serious painter in his own right, loaned his bay-side kitchen, which was probably in full swing at the time I set out to invoke.

The Chinese Perspective

These were shot in very late 2011 when I first became acquainted with Savannah, in fact this was one of my important introductions.  My half day shoot with Chinese Johnny had a finale in a great night of a little debauchery and a lot of dance at what has become one of my favorite local clubs, Hangfire.  I think some images might have of been shot on the dance floor, too, but these are yet to surface. 

We ventured to a deserted boathouse on the bluffs, hoping to hit Wormsloe Plantation, and finding this spot a much more unique visual incarnation of the goddess:



River street's lesser and not so lesser alcoves (including a little crowd of hypnotized teenage girls):

 

And more locations to come.  By the way, these images flow with the music of Matthew Santos, a genius I met and listened to last night at the Sentient Bean.  I just hope the next time I'm late to one of his coffeehouse concerts, he plays even more than seven encores.
