A 1000 WORDS x THE (MUSE)UM PROJECT | MOLLY SERIES

Jewelry by: That's Mona!
As I have previously stated, I am beyond thrilled to have kick-started this project with a familiar face - an old friend, Molly. The further I delve into it, the more likely you, the viewer, are to see more faces you are familiar with.

I have decided to shoot mostly in my city - New York. D.C. is definitely a desired location to shoot, as well as California and possibly, Georgia (ATL) and Texas (San Antonio | Houston). I will be in New York from April 4th-10th. I have shoots scheduled for that mini-vacay, so I'm posting this to grant inquisitive minds a bit of insight on my current endeavors and projects and so on.

I realise I have not posted much of my work on here lately, besides my self-portraits, so I decided to post some newly-edited shots from the Molly series. Upon editing these, it reinforced the significance of colour in a photograph. Altering the colours in a photograph can shift its mood dramatically. As evidence, I included unedited versions of each photograph under the jump; observe and absorb. Peace.

THE (MUSE)UM PROJECT: MOLLY J.

The (MUSE)um project© --the title for my A|W photography project:a tasteful collection of my muses--an expression of the manner and degree in which each has inspired me to create. Initially launched on the first weekend of September, but due to some minor setbacks, had to be put on hold for further furnishing. I had the pleasure to go home this past week for Thanksgiving and decided this would be the perfect time to relaunch this project. I mean, what better fitting atmosphere to create than that of the city that bred and inspires me most? Y'know? I had constructed certain specifics that I wanted to be incorporated with this project, but I am in need of a team. But that's besides the point. I will re-relaunch it by next Summer.

I relaunched this project by photographing a dear-close-friend of mine, Molly! The theme was Bohemian-grunge, location--the artistic soul of New York--SoHo. Her energy was definitely needed. To add to the anew aura surrounding the relaunching of this project, I, in a conscious mind, somehow deleted over 1000 photographs and video off of my memory card. I was livid. My blood boiled over. I felt nauseous. I thought this would never happen to me. No way! I was too careful, but apparently, every creative falls victim to the universe's desire to play hide-n-seek.
