Loaded, Angelica Faustino, Pt II.


The cool cat doesn't disclose too much. 

She is what she is, and what she is, is cool. The rest (and the best) has yet to be revealed. This time, it is up to time, to time the _____. 














Jeremy Keith Photography. Coolness at its best, find it here.
Once again, thank you, Angelica, BJ, and Beatrice.

Improvisation and Improvement, Pt 1.


Life isn't about the plan. It's about knowing what we want out of it, having a strong direction and accepting challenges and changes as they come, having faith in the process, focusing on the work at hand, and reaching a higher sense of fulfillment afterward.

The soulfully refined lady reduces the clutter in her life.  She lets her mind breath and surrounds herself with only the necessities that are conducive to an artful way of living.  After a long day in a hectic world, she kicks off her boots and takes the time to reflect. 







 Like the circles and squares that pattern her necklace, she understands that a contrast of round rims and jagged edges can work harmoniously, that is, if they can share a common area, brilliance, and taste, making her approach to life soft, but her vision sharp. 






We had planned on a completely different look. I forgot the top. The improvisation began. Improvement happened.  Although Jeremy and I are complete opposites, our styles surprisingly overlap, but only through creative work can we feel the commonality. Through our collaborations, I have learned the importance of high impact, the challenge in reduction, and the maturity that arises from it. There is a great trust in the work that we do, evident in the images we produce. More of his individual work can be treasured here.

Thank you, BJ, for allowing us your space. 
Thank you, Beatrice, for your enthusiasm and allowing us our space to work, I'm sure we'll get another chance at beginnings. 
Thank you, Angelica, for being down, and for the frozen yogurt break in the midst of the franticness. You're fun. And cool. Bread and butter, for sure.
