When ever I say “specials” I gotta admit, I almost always think of The Specials AKA (The Specials basically but with a very convolluted or polluted nomenclatural history, if you ask me 😉 ).
But, in this case- the sessions shared are pretty.. special. Very “early career” sessions with a few Kelowna girls while I was running my own newspaper and.. kinda felt like I was the man about town as I couldn’t go anywhere without meeting someone that knew me. Didn’t hurt that I was Box Boy for a brewpub in Penticton… anyhow..
The Germanically oriented lass.. and her story.
Not much to share about her, really.. she was travelling and needed some extra cash. So, she agreed to come in and pose~ sans pubic hair, for sure~ in the old S. Granville space.. I’ve posted a couple of her galleries and, as I clean more of her images.. more will go up. So, pretty soon- more. I do, even, have some film scans from the session.
Personally, I really dig the shots with the Ty Beanie Baby.. Sparklefaerie bought that for me, as a rendition of me, so many years ago. It survived all our moves, intact, until our move to Calgary. During that move, the doll lost it’s back pack. And in our last move, to Terrace, it lost the sunglasses. Not even sure if the clothes remain. We did “embellish” it slightly by adding some yellow thread on it’s chin to be more like what I represent 😉


There was a lot of confusion taking place over the last couple years.. but I had cleaned up many many prints from working with 
When the piece is finished, I’ve got a cool photo idea for it. I’ll shoot this one (still working on the title but something along the lines of Sunrise caught between fingers.. ) and
So, Meghan’s PRINT galleries are now live again. Such a lithe and active individual.. so photogenic. I still remember the first day she was working reception at.. some odd business or other downtown Vancouver.. if memory serves, it was a long white reception desk with a few people working it. Loved her landingstrip.. and the way she almost made love to my camera.. such good times in Vancouver they were.
Teel (sometimes I spell it “Teal”) is an absolutely awesome individual. Expect to see a book coming shortly.. she modelled with SparkleFaerie, Meghann, and in the industrial wasted space of IWL Film’s “TC Backlot” during the motorcycle shoot AND a second session as my “assistant” when I went back to shoot the property. 
Another newish session.. this time with an Aussie lass (video to come soonish.. pending edit time). Her first ever nude session at 21 years of age and in the old/ first YYC studio space. Man, what a messed up space that was! Co- renter was.. loco big time! Dropped the keys off shortly after this session and started looking for other saces to use.
