These past few weeks I've been all over the map... from Vancouver Island, to Los Angeles, to Florida, back to Los Angeles, then to Ixtapa, Ohhhh here comes an Los Angeles again, Vancouver Island, Vancouver pit stop, and now back in LA!!! I am building up those air miles ;-)
I have a few projects on the go as my travel plans can show. Last week I shot a great spread for Dana Lyseng, owner of Supernova Salon, for the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA's). I have to thank her for putting together a great team. Along with 5 great models was Sonia Leal-Serafim from They Rep on Makeup, Designer Nicolette who brought all custom clothes she made by hand, and myself on Photography. I wish I could show you an image, but even the snaps are too close to the look of the entry... so we'll have to wait until the competition has been judged.
I am preparing to go to Vanuatu in a few weeks for Sky's the Limit. This episode is all the way in the South Pacific and I hear it's 4-5 planes to get there!!! ... air miles.... lol. One segment of the show I am focusing on is collecting unused eye glasses and bringing them to the people of Vanuatu. They barley have electrical power, let alone Opticians and eye wear. I can only imagine the response of the people when they find the right pair of glasses for their deteriorating vision and can see again clearly for the first time in years! Although they mainly wear leafs and grass skirts, imagine being a mid 30's tailor and having to retire because you can't see the stitches...
Coming along on this ride will be 'The Doctors' of Wise Quacks - Dave Hepburn and Rob Sealey. Along with a group of other Victoria doctors, Dave has spent a year there back in the 90's offering his medical services to the people. We are all looking forward to seeing this magical place. I hear we'll be doing things like climbing an active volcano, snorkelling with turtles and attending the Joh Frum Festival.
