lively, lovely, & lustrous

...amongst the dead, defeated, & dull...

!!! FAVORITE !!!

i asked alissa if she would model for some experimental shots in this lot of dead trees ive had my eye on. i really wanted to just mess around with high fashion photography and see what i could come up with because this is soooo not me. but i must say i am rather pleased with what we were able to get and i had FUN. i had alissa laughin with my reactions and facial expressions after i would take the shot and look down to view it in my camera. all i kept saying was "i cant wait to show you, i cant wait to show you!" As we walked up to this tree i was thinkin to myself "man, itd be so rad if she jumped up in there... but ya know, she IS wearing a dress and boots, i could never ask that of her" when all of the sudden alissa goes "do you want me to like... get in the tree?" uhhhhhh. YES. the answer is yes. i could not have been more excited. and look at what we got... brilliant. so once again i owe a huge thanks to alissa for always being an available model who is willing to try anything! i knew i could count on her to deliver at this shoot, and what do ya know?! she did.
