tell me do you think it'd be all right , if i could just crash here tonight

it's been many many months since my last post. far too long.
changing up my friend quinn's quote to find my scenario :

danno is alive and well ( and older ).
i've done some shit (below) and ... that's all i got

rather than try and make up for it with lame excuses, which is the temptation to do after much absence from a blog, i'm just going to post some pictures from a (huge) project that was recently completed.

there are quite a few pictures for the final photo story, and these are just 3 of the 18-20 final images, which are all small crops of them as works in progress. 4 models, 2 agencies, 13 people involved in pulling it off.

wish i could tell more, share more, post more, preview more images...but i'm quite busy.
i'm very important.
i have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

the best kind of problem to have...

i've had a few secret things that have taken up all of my time.


in order to protect those involved and maintain their anonymity , i've changed/modified/lied/altered/made up details. good luck finding out which ones :)

my entire month of march, i've been absolutely swamped. i've had a HUGE secret project that i've been working on with some very cool people, for the entire month. almost every day was spent working on it. i'm super excited to to talk about it, but it won't be launched for another week or two. so when the website launches, then i can spill the beans.

i've also been working on a secret project for a photo shoot.
it's a collaboration between myself and another photographer. who doesn't shoot fashion. at all.
can't give much details other than to say it's gonna be HOT. literally and metaphorically.
ok, we're going to be shooting godzilla. and i don't mean ann coulter. ZING!
i'm really excited to be working together with another photographer on this kick ass story. i mean really, who sees two separate photographers shooting anything together to make 1 cohesive project without egos getting in the way? i dare to say rarely.

i've been shooting a little in between the planning and development of my first secret project and my second secret project. i'll post those soon. i've been trying out a different feel to the shots with the point of view that i'm showing, it's fun.

with all these things happening, it's the best kind of a problem to have; being busy with work.

time to be super secret some more ;)

SMoCA Nights Fashion Show

i had gotten a call from terri at the agency az a week ago for a fashion show that was being put on at SMoCA ( scottsdale museum of contemporary art ) tonight. she gave me 2 vip tickets to the event and so ashley and i just got home from it. it was a fun time all around.

we got there right at 9pm and the fashion show didn't start until 10 so we looked around at some of the art displayed and had a good time looking at some things , laughing at others and making fun of a bit of it as well.

paid too much for a beer and a 5 ounce cosmo and sat outside. there were some very cool performance artists just wandering around dressed head to toe in white and their skin was all ghost-white as well. while i was getting ashley and i drinks, one of the guys gave ashley a white-stemmed white painted rose.

oh and they moved at 1/10'th the speed of normal. it was awesome.

we sat down for the show and we got to sit on the runway seats , while everyone else had to stand. we felt like pimps among paupers. again, awesome.

here's a few shots before the show started:



starting to fill up.



we had our choice of seating in the vip section. ashley and i chose to be near the end of the runway so we can get a good look as the girls walk to and away from us.


a list of the girls in the show. these are the agency's newest ( not as experienced ) girls. there were a couple we really liked, but a couple of them were busted. give them time, they'll turn out just fine.

















it was a good time to sit, relax, enjoy some fashion. much thanks goes to the agency for hooking us up, we had a blast.
very legit.
