My client Aesthetic Video Source does instructional videos for beauty professionals around the world. I've worked with them for a few years doing the stills for the videos. You could say I get quite the beauty education seeing and being apart of the process. Putting eyelashes on takes FOREVER and a day! One eye lash at a time. Wow. It literally looks like surgery or what I would imagine the attention to small small details would be. My favorite lashes are the multicolored ones. So fun! The girls have 2-3 weeks of beautiful lashes before they must get fillers.
Eyes are truly fascinating and beautiful. Each person's eye is a sea of color & dimension. I have photographed numbers of eyes in my day. Pigeons People. In pigeon racing the colors of the eye, circles and so on mean different things about the bird. The Pigeon racing connoisseur can tell if this bird is a breed to be a champion bird. How funny would it be if humans were scaled the same way. This one fine Bird(girl). I guess you could call me a pretty bird specialist. Ha Ha :)
I love the crew. We have a great time. One of guys was drinking Pepsi with Tobassco and claimed that was happiness. No, no no thats Cokes claim.

Sundance Film Festival 2009

So it was fun and a lot of foot work covering the festival. Park City turns into this different place, parking is impossible, people are everywhere looking to spot any celebrity. While I'm running around assignment to assignment all over the town. I covered movie premiers, panels, parties, & forums. I only saw a handful of movies that were very interesting. This short film Rite was so beautifully done and so creepy.

When I did see a celebrity on the street it was utter madness that helped with spotting. There is a swarm of people, paparazzi, teens running after this person to see them. That's gotta do something for your ego. It was more interesting for me to watch this swarm then to be a participant in it.
I did meet alot of very interesting people from around the world. The epic of story telling is obviously the underline theme of the festival but I think people get far to caught up in the hype. In between assignments one night I hung out with this Band Dolphin City and they were alot of fun. Good music. They had a number one fan there making out with each of them.

The inauguration was going on during the festival. Sundance had an event on main street that people attended. That for me was one of the coolest things I covered. The whole nation is watching. People are emotional. Times are changing.
