I’ve been mulling over a number of topics I’d like to write about and discuss on here. Maybe too many. I think it leads to decision paralysis. Not being able to land on a topic, and a topic I want to write about in some kind of depth, keeps me from writing anything at all. And as a consequence, not posting any images from recent shoots or from the archives. So at the beginning of this year of 2024, a short paragraph accompanied by an older collection of images of Jasmine. I observe a sober January every year. For maybe the last ten years or so? It’s a good check in, a good reset. It means I’m writing this without a bourbon on ice at my side, which is not the norm. I do enjoy writing with a bit of a whisky buzz. What did Hemingway say? Write drunk, edit sober? Yeah, there’s something to that. So, Happy New Year. Please enjoy the images and know there’s lots of new stuff in the works. Just not quite ready to hatch yet.
A member reached out to me on Instagram a bit ago and asked me if I have any more photos of Jasmine in the archives. I was sure I had, but I wasn’t certain that I had enough to make a cohesive set. As a result, this gallery of images kind of jumps around thematically. But all together it’s a nice collection from a fun day in the studio. And I’m glad they’re seeing the light of day
I only got to shoot with Jasmine once. She’s no longer in the area. Amazing eyes. Click through for almost 90 more images from that day.
UPDATE: Another note since this set went live. From the tagging and attention on Instagram, Jasmine reached out and let me know that she’ll be in town later this month. We’re set to meet up and spend another day in the studio. You’ll be seeing those images in the coming months. Very much looking forward to it.
Again, if you’re a paying subscriber here, you’ll receive a code to access the members galleries on lacuna.one. Nudge me if you don’t get a code within a day or two.
Cheers! And happy new year!
