Fashion TV - Click Chic

I grew up watching Fashion TV and now I'm on it...

A New Blog

So I decided to start a new blog where I would examine visuals that stimulate and inspire me. So welcome - Pigment & Hue, a new visual diary of images. I hope it gives you a sense of what I'm looking at and loving at the moment. I've just started to work out the kinks, so bare with me as the site evolves.

Who's Who

So it has been bothering me forever and I've finally put my finger on it - Zach Efron and Daniela Sea are the same person. The photographic evidence is enough that I will not tell you who is whom. Enjoy!

Oh the Horror!

File this under movies that never needed remaking. It has just been announced that Michael Bay will be bringing a remake of Friday the 13th to the theaters sometime in the near future. He has hired the two writers of Freddy vs. Jason in to revamp the Crystal Lake killer in a retelling of the original horror franchise. However, instead of keeping the overprotective killer mother, Bay and company think it will be more interesting to jump right to dealing with Jason.

This to me is mistake one. The reason the original is so scary is with a crazed mother as the killer, it snaps the movie into a sort of foggy reality. The fact that a mother - could and would go on a killing spree to stop the reopening of the camp where her son died makes for a frighting twist - not to mention a real one. When she is beheaded, there is no returning from the dead 100 times.

Secondly, the reason Jason arose from the dead was to enact revenge for the death of his mother, so without her set-up as the original killer why does Jason need to surface?

Thirdly, do we really need another remake of a classic 80's horror film. I think not, there has got to be some fresh blood (pun intended) out there in the horror genre. So let's get a bit creative and produce some original voices and scares...

T-Minus 3 and Counting

So in just three days, 8 months of hard work comes to a head. My show Click Chic: The Fine Art of Fashion Photography opens. The pre-press for the show has been stellar, the work looks inspiring and beautiful and I'm extremely happy and proud as any parent can be. So if your in New York city on Monday evening, come have a glass of prosecco with me and bask in the excitement. Regular blogging should commence shortly.

Sleeping Dogs

OK, it has been a while since I've spoken about Big Brother here on my blog, but I have to state this... I feel very sad that the producers keep trying to force the Dani & Nick relationship on America. Yes, they had chemistry in the house. Yes, Nick is beautiful. Yes, Dani was/is cheating on the man she lives with. Hence, my problem with this whole show-mance.

The BF, who producers were so eager to interview when it made for good television has basically been thrown under the bus, first by the letter from Nick to Danielle on her second HOH win and now the Power of 10 appearance. Sad, how the show has no regards for this man - he does live with her (or at least she did live there prior to walking through the door of reality TV.)

Enough with trying to make Nick & Dani a couple - let sleeping dogs lie.

Spotting the Finish Line

Again, I have to apologize for my sporadic postings, however I am in the final stretches of Click Chic - meeting with each photographer for them to sign off on the final printer proofs, sending catalogs and invites, and making sure everything at the gallery is ready for installation - that it doesn't leave me a lot of time to do much else... I promise to be back to a regular schedule shortly. Stay tuned.
