As always, I must thank the people who sat for my camera but also those who assisted, did makeup or hair, or helped in any way that added to the quality of the experience. I hope each and every one of them had as much fun as I did.
To my models, I thank you for your time and consideration. In many cases, you allowed me to refine a concept while you stood in front of a background and waited for the action to happen. When it did, you were fabulous: Faayo Adam, Mahlet Adeda, Courtney Agar, Denise Armstead, Tristy Auger, Sandra Avelli, Rachel Bambenek, Bourbon Bettie, Michelle Blonigan, Victoria Bugayev, Kristi Ciesynski, Amber Colvard, Kaylee Dee, Roz Dickson, Paul Dworak, Kelsey Eliason, Annie Fitzgerald, Lisa Gervais, Tammy Goldsworthy, Christine Grether, Jennifer Hammers, Sarah Jeffrey, Mariah Jere, Courtney Johns, Kai Kaniess, Kari Beth, Jackie Kiefat, Erin Kromer, Jessica Lee, Heather Lieviska, Tammy Mahar, Joanna Mickelson, Melissa Mueller, Erin Nauman, Yvonne Ngoy, Jeremy Norred, Jessica Nyberg, Bette Palmer, Nichole Parrish, Patti Peterson, Sarah Pyne, Rachael Moench, Jennifer Campoverde Rocha, Margot Scheltens, Margaret Sinarath, Ruthie Stein, Hayden Tretter, Alexandra Vang, Pistol Vegas, Bria Walls, and Keith Williams.
There were a number of makeup artists and hairstylists who added their own degree of style to our shoots. These folks are true pros and know exactly what to do to prepare anyone for the camera. Kudos, all: Sandra Avelli, Traverna Douglas, Wendy Zarate Frank, Jonathan Gibson, Kumi Goaneh, Jennifer Hammers, Mariah Jere, Donald La Course, Jennifer Holiday Quinn, and Linda Stein.
My primary assistant was Joey Tichenor, a terrific photographer in his own right.
Special thanks to A440Live.tv and John Heinen and Nick Nichols, two impressive audio and video documentarians.
I’d be remiss (and possibly castrated) if I failed to thank my wife, Sue, for her patience with my extracurricular schedule. For years, she’s spent serious alone-time while I disappeared into my cramped home office to work on a book or some other project. I can’t thank her enough for being as flexible as she’s been.
