This first shot shown,
Was actually one of the last ones taken.
I had gone to Ye Olde Lamplighter in San Bernardino
to see a bit of original music a friend Debbra, had told me about. I had drawn on Debbra and her daughter Kaelie
about 10 months prior, and as I have an extremely
paired down bunch of Sharpies with the
camera I cart around to musical events...
Well, I was hoping one of them
might show up ready to be a canvas once again.
Ah! Kaelie! Thank you!
Going to some familiar territory with a koi, but taking
a bit of a different approach.
Looser on the detail,
with an attempt at a ripple of sorts.
Hi.
Okay, back to the drawing for some black.
Up close - the black is a bit much. But stand back
just a bit, and it seemed to be doing it.
Here's the one shot
of anything musical going on that night. Fred.
The reason I was even there.
But with the drawing complete,
it was time to take Kaelie around the restaurant
for some photography.
It was a good knight for photography.
HAHAhahahahahaha........
Um. Ahem.
Okay. The knight was near a mirror,
and I'm not sure if these next two shots were
what I was going for EXACTLY...
but I like 'em.
After that it was simply
a matter of placing Kaelie in front of
various backdrops, showing the piece from
a few steps back.
Oops. Hang on.

Playing with lighting...
I think this - was Ye Olde Lamplight.
...And angles...
...Ah! Here we go.
This last shot - not the drawing at all.
Got away from it once again. I thought we were done.
But when we walked back inside...
THAT PINK WALL!
These last two,
quite staged, with just a touch of processing.
Thank you Debbra, for telling me about the night.
Thanks to Fred - for the music.
And thanks to Kaelie - a wonderful canvas
to work with. Having just finished this one,
I'm already planning the next.
