Jamaica Dyer In Alamo Square Park
Sometimes everything just comes together, the weather, the location, and the model. This started out a simple headshot session but we decided to push it further and headed into the park to enjoy the perfect spring day. Believe it or not, this whole shoot only took about an hour.
Jamaica’s an extremely talented artist, and a longtime friend. We’ve begun collaborating on a super secret project, more about that as it develops.
Trip report – Cambridge, Uk
Phew. We got back on Thursday and I’m just now starting to feel the jet-lag subside. My partner David and I flew to the UK for a couple of software conferences in Cambridge, then spent a few days in London, followed by Paris! I was looking forward to returning to Cambridge, we visited there three years ago and this time I was going to have a few more days to explore the city.
The first day it rained, but I was undeterred (and had remembered to pack a couple of umbrellas); I headed out for some wandering and shooting in the moody weather.
I stopped for lunch at the Rainbow Cafe, which is located right across from Kings College. Finding vegetarian food isn’t a huge challenge in the UK, most every pub has something (usually a veggie risotto for some reason), but I always try and track down restaurants which are entirely veggie. The food was delicious; I warmed up with soup and some hot tea, and ventured back out.
Portrait – Jamaica Dyer
Jamaica Dyer is an insanely talented artist and a good friend. I’ve known her for years from the San Francisco Indie comics scene, it’s been terrific seeing her receive well-deserved recognition for her work. She’s been at Alternative Press Expo, Zine Fest, done workshops at the Cartoon Art Museum, and recent hung a show at Isotope Comics. No wonder I haven’t seen her in person in a while, this girl is insanely busy. Here’s a few shots I got of her at a show she had up at Mission Comics.
