shoot 001# and S.P.Ss

This Saturday I thought I'd swing in a little splash memory from China. The knock-off market is unbelievable and so much fun to shop in. Here are just a few I purchased  (yes, all Dad wanted from China was a fake Rolex). I think it's a really funny notion to get in your head that anyone can create a designer name...and the power behind that name is non existant for me, because I know it's all made in China. Either by legal workers or scammers. Question is, which watch is really the real watch made in China, sold in China, but by the authorized seller????

1)Rolex 2) Louis Vuitton 3)Swatch 4)Dolce & Gabbana 5) Dolce & Gabbana trying to be Dr. Seuss...........................



I'm aiming for at least 100 good photos posted by the end of this year. Here's the first of many lovely to come. Thank you Maren, one of my many faithful models.....of course 'spiderman'ing it on to the wall.

I had been painting for most  of the afternoon and feeling about ready to pull my hair out because I needed something different to look at. Solution: take more photos.

I'm a believe in using props that I own, and have easy access to, so HA to the shoes. I must say the wicked sweet Nikes you only see the teal backs of were my favorite. They belong to Maren, go figure.  One of my favorite thing about getting friends to work with, is that they are totally goofy around me so they are always doing odd things that inspire another picture. Tragically more pictures from this shoot need to be worked on, but will get posted soon.
