Galleries, Runways, Random Shoots

OK this is a busy weekend (Nov 11-13) but it is happening in any way other than I have planned. I walk toward an objective and end up getting side-swiped into something different but interesting.

Saturday
I was supposed to deliver framed prints to two galleries. I didn't have the photos printed to be able to do that. I had delays in getting the printer setup and framing supplies to the house.

I had a brief photo shoot with Kelley at Cranbrook since I wasn't going into Detroit. She and I have been planning to do this since February I think. Today's shoot was very good and we're both looking forward to extending it into another more significant shoot.

Sunday
Here are the plans:

  • Call Mairi Elle from Columbus about shooting Monday or Tuesday
  • Noon shoot with Meghan, first stop will be either downtown Royal Oak or Cranbrook.
  • 2pm visit with Meghan to use Porsche in photos plus get photos of Kimmie with the Porsche. Wrap the shoot at 3pm and head home.
  • 3:30pm Donovan, Melissa, Leticia come over and we head to an abandoned space for a photoshoot AID style.
  • 6pm doors open for a fashion show at the Jazzloft produced by Ziam. The address is 525 Monroe above Golden Fleece Restaurant in Greektown. This is the preparation time for the show.
  • 8pm fashion show begins.

Follow-up activities coming up...

  • Monday (Nov 14) - potential photoshoot day, several models inquiring - possibly from outside Michigan. Evening meeting of Living for Sundance. Delivery of framed photos for LFS exhibition on Nov 18 (opening night).
  • Tuesday (Nov 15) - planning meeting with Ziam (need to confirm this). Again have models interested in shooting - not sure how that will work with planning activities. Evening will be at Landmark Education working with the plans made with Ziam for December, January, February and beyond on Abandoned In Detroit and his projects (such as Liquid Silver).
  • Wednesday (Nov 16) - mid-day talk at library announced by ArtServe, undetermined if I'm attending. Probably will be a photoshoot day instead.
  • Thursday (Nov 17) - interview at One Source Talent (not sure of reputation, will be listening). Attend the evening tryout for models going to Liquid Silver show on Nov 26.
  • Friday (Nov 18) - evening opening of LFS Photo Contest exhibition at Edgewise Gallery. Two doors down from Oslo on Woodward, 3 blocks south of Comerica Park. I would love to have all my friends stop in and check it out.
  • Next weekend (Nov 19-20) - working afternoon/evening at Somerset as photographer at Santa's Castle. This is the kick-off weekend for Santa photos. Nov 20 is opening of 2nd gallery requesting prints that weren't delivered today. Maybe I can squeeze some in there - requires some discussion.

Time to sleep and dream of a perfectly executed Sunday.
