ok

leight greight rambling jack elliot:

I am getting 'Removes' a bit more frequently as of late in reaction to my mass email (read spam casts) marketing blitzkreig campaigns. Which reminds me- if you'd like to be on the LIST, let me know. That way you can remove yourself and cause me to wonder...

Now that's either a result of people (art directors mostly) feeling like I am moving off base (was I ever on???but times are tougher, tempers are flaring, jobs are insecuring, work IS slowing), I am making poorer pictures or making pictures that pique or repel?

I admit, tastlessness, like hurtfulness, is not great art, but it is art (Maplethorpe, hello?) like a gunshot wound or a 6 inch wood splinter up under your fingernail and I'd rather have viewers look and exclaim "how cool!" rather than look and pass or lash out.

REMOVE! In fact, I have gotten MORE work deriving from an email blast that also got more "REMOVES", so it's maybe a real good thing, not such a bad thing...

Who really needs to pitch to Appalachian Organic Florist anyways? What, Bay Area Bowling is no longer in my "quiver" of potential future jobs?? Shit, that blows. But so do bowling and flowers. So solly, flower and dollar lovers.

Speaking of what DOESN'T... Cars and girls were 2 subjects I shot lately and am happy to post about here. Patty Daniels of Town and Country Studio in Lauderdale contacted me and asked to come along to light and fire at a mom and daughter combo for a magazine cover here in Miami, also, the beautiful and way enthusiastic King Cole Twins at Mrs. Sandler's home in Boca. A repo man needed his high end bank repo cars shot for ebay and was gonna get a hacker. But he got me instead: "Wick, cut the ahht shit and make these pictures all look the same will ya? This is just ebay and wholesale magazines!" Can't resist- but found the main problem with that directive was finding a location that would remain available throughout 10 or more car shoots. Light it, move the car. Light it, Move the car.
