retrofit (sneak preview).

I did a fashion shoot for my friends Jenny and Julia a few weekends ago... J&J have started a sustainable vintage clothing store called Retrofit Republic, and they wanted photos for their "look book" and website. It was an awesome, ridiculous, slap-dash photo shoot at the Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park- me the photographer, Jenny the artistic director, and two of Jenny & Julia's friends whom they'd recruited to model their outfits, 12 outfits in all.

It was a chilly, overcast morning whose highlights included (1) Jenny slamming her thumb in my car's trunk door before the shoot even started, and then carrying on by wrapping her bloody thumb in a tourniquet made of a napkin and a hair tie, (2) Julian, The Male Model, changing outfits and standing around in his underwear right out on the walkway in front of innocent passersby who just wanted to look at flowers on a Sunday morning, (3) Melissa, The Female Model, who just fucking carried herself and looked like a professional model despite the fact that she is a currently-unemployed financial analyst in Real Life, (4) a photo that I snapped of Melissa's terrorized expression as I nearly toppled off of a tree branch while taking a photo of her, and (5) coffee. And laughing our asses off. And being treated to a breakfast, including bacon, afterward.
