You look like your character is taking stock of the "uniform" that has just been put on. Is the photograph on the bedside table an accident or did you intend for it to have some significance?

There is significance, I'm glad you caught it.

Thanks... but what does it signify?

Thank you very much. I think this series came out really well because I was allowed complete control over the shoot and therefore had some sort of personal attachment to it. I'm glad you are liking it.

I honestly thought I had you on my friends list, but I guess I didn't. Whoops! I really love your paintings.
And I have to definitly agree with you on that. The photographer came to me with a concept he had for a book called "The Morning After" and he wanted me to come up with a character and a story about the morning after something that happened to the character the night before. I automatically knew that I wanted to do something extremely emotional and to try and push the boundaries a little bit by making the viewer really *feel* sorry for this stripper that some people who normally view as a low life and not worth their time or pity. So, it definitly had a personal connection to me, but I couldn't have made it work without the photographer who I talked with for a long time about the series. Good communication and getting on the same l path as your model is most definitly something that makes the images in the end..speak for themselves.
In fact, the shoot was so emotional for both of us I was actually crying in some of the images and Brian said that he will never be able to look at a stripper in the same way again. So, at the very least I've changed one person's point of view which is all I ever wanted.

I would really like that. We'll have to try and work something out in the future.
