Season ahead


It’s been a while since my last blog. But with the feeling of spring here and shooting Summer June and August issues like usual we our a few seasons ahead. I find it so ironic but by the time everyone is enjoying the new season approaching were shooting bikinis and shorts for a few months now. It reminded me of one of my experiences doing hair this time of year.


It was still cold in NYC but finding myself in Zanzibar Africa late February it was 110 F and no clouds in the sky. Water warm and white sand so hot it was hard to walk on. We were shooting 2 fashion stories and 1 beauty story. We were on our last beauty story; it was the 8th day we had been there. My sunburn had turned into a tan finally and I was just getting darker and getting pretty good at local words of Swahili.  This model gets flown in from Amsterdam (which is also very cold that time of year); she gets to the awesome resort and has a disgusted face on her pale skin body in the lobby. We should have known. The next day shooting, nothing but complaints I started at 5 am call time in my room to do her hair. The day before while shooting, everyone except the photographer and me got deathly ill coming out both ways if you know what I mean. And her she is complaining all day long saying why we couldn’t just shoot this in Bahamas or Florida. To say the least between the bathroom rushes and her awful attitude it made a not so fun last 2 days. Just goes to show some people no matter how beautiful the weather change of the seasons no matter if you fly to another season or it’s right here at your home town will never stop and enjoy the things around you.
