about a month ago i was out on the street doing my thing with my camera and i saw a giant afro bouncing my way. i maneuvered for a good shot and after i struck up a conversation with the afro’s owner. turns out he is a rad guy. Virgil calls himself a “Possibility Advocate” (i’ll let you explore that more on your own and just say that i like what he’s up to).
he asked if i was interested in helping him out with his plans for “The Worlds Largest Afro Wig Photo Shoot” on March 28th in Santa Cruz. of course i couldn’t turn down that opportunity. last week Virgil brought in some models from over the hill and got Retro Paradise (mucho gracias) to donate clothing for our first promo shoot.
it was a lot of work and a little crazy which is to say it was a blast. i fired off a lot of images not all of which i am happy with, but i did get a few that i’m pretty stoked on. i especially like the very last image. we made that dudes lifetime… ha ha
we will be back out again on the 21st, and if things go as planned, with more models, a set/lighting assistant and sunny skies! so if you are down town on the 21st around late noonish or on the 28th bust out your 70′s clothes and afro wig (be sure to hit up Retro Paradise) and join us!
