Photographer and PS neighbor Marco Franchina came by the compound for coffee the other morning.
We got to talking about projects and in particular, our PS Portrait Project.
Marco asked to shoot us in the style of the project and days later, presented us with a print.
Thanks neighbor, we love it.
And you too.
Off to get it framed…
Mr. Tormo in his signature amber Ray Ban shooters… cool.
Honored to have four images from our PS Portrait Project in this exhibition in addition to eight paintings by Owen.
Show runs February 10th through April 28th.
What a night!
If you were there- you know- you were part of it.
Thank you everyone at Desert Island: Miguel Nelson, Jake Bachman, Dan Einzig, and the rest of the bar and restaurant staff. Thank you Melissa Morgan for introducing us to Desert Island. Shout out to Tony Brown- artist, tech, and all ‘round great guy for assisting with the installation. Thank you Mollie Kimberling for taking photos of the guests- you knocked it out of the park. Of course we wouldn’t be here without everyone who said yes to being in the project and to you we bow. And a great cheers to all the people who came out to see the show, the venue, and have a ball with us.
One last thing: Yes! We are continuing to shoot more subjects for the project!
