YAY!
So happy to see the amazing Charmaine on the front page this morning! We shot this set back in October on the train tracks behind Simbol's house! Oh, how I love those ATX babes! This set is special to me & I really am so thankful it reached the front page! Thanks to all those who showed their love & support! Charmaine is a truly inspiring lady & I'm glad to see her grace the front page!
Speaking of Charmaine, I just wanted you all to know, that I had a few prints left over after Hell City, so I created an Etsy Store. I have five 8x12 matte prints of this image of Charmaine from her set "The Tracks" left in my shop! I figured it would be fitting to post about them today incase anyone wants to own a copy of this image form Charmaine's set!
I also listed a set of 4 one of a kind Intsax of Charmaine from her set that is waiting to be prepped, we just shot it last month!
Today is Friday & that means it's exactly one week till....

Sophie King, an established Columbus figure model since 2006, has, in the last few years, moved from being in front of the camera to being behind the camera. In 2011 King began using Fuji Instax film (similar to Polaroid) to photograph her many model friends. Her intent was not to be a photographer or to even make art. She was motivated to follow her joy and pleasure -- for the fun of it. Nonetheless she produced a unique collection of photographs. Her photographs are worthy of attention as they are made "outside" the perimeters and aesthetic concerns of established photography and art. Her images are unpretentious and free of formal calculation. On the surface King's images may be seen as mere snapshots. More importantly, her photographs are documentation of a set of young women in the early twenty-first century. The subjects in her photographs are very much of the "present," but in the future they may well be seen as emblematic of a past iconic style. Without intending, Sophie King has captured a moment in time.
The Invisible Gallery will exhibit Sophie King's instant photographs May 18th and 19th, 2013. In addition to Ms King's work behind the camera, several photographers will exhibit their images of Sophie King as subject. The photographers include, Todd Eko, Alissa Brunelli, Wolfgang Parker, Collin J. Rae and Chas Ray Krider
