Wow - this was an all time favorite senior shoot! Chelsea was a blast! She's actually in California right now checking out colleges for art next year - my kind of gal! Chelsea is our spokesmodel for the Maquoketa/Dubuque area this year. Chelsea loves art and is on the school dance team and found us through some girls we shot from her area in 08!
Over a year ago I posted several images from a gigantic fire that took out a huge portion of Maquoketa's downtown - well, the rubble is still there! The DNR and the city have been arguing about what to do with the asbestos-ridden mess so we took advantage of it for our background!
I loooove, love, love junkyards and all the unpredictable 'schtuff' they provide! You never know what you're going to find!!! Sarah and I have had some unique encounters at junkyards - and this one didn't let me down! Most of the time I don't ask for permission to do things which is my own "I think I'm more BA than I really am and that my mouth can talk me out of anything. Well for some reason I had my dad get permission from his buddy for us to shoot in this junk yard and it actually paid off this time! Once we were almost done shooting a cop car pulled up. Surprise, surprise! I really didn't give the officer a chance to say much before I said we had permission to be there. Even so, he said, "Well it is kind of out of place to see a girl in a fancy dress walking around a junk yard." Once I explained what we were doing he didn't have much to say and went on his way.
This is only a glimpse at this girl! We have several mini-shoots planned rather than one longer one so I'm pumped to work with her again! Tomorrow's FRIDAY!!!
