Hello friends,
2010 has been good to us. I mean, tricky and a touch unpredictable at times, but mostly ... great. That said, I think we are collectively excited to bid adieu to 2010 and welcome in the new year. Hello 2011, you look ravishing tonight!
For this reason and others of the top secret sort, we got together this week to try the new year on for size.
Man, I love these folks!
All images by Allison V. Smith (which explains why she's not in any of them...)
It's only natural that Sister Allison would attract the attention of art book publishers... One of my favorite images of Ms. AVS.
You don't have to be from here to appreciate the special way we Texans embrace our culture. Sometimes rather than working to change the minds of the rest of the country who still view us as backwards cowboys in ten gallon hats, we dig our heels in loudly declare our Texas pride. Enter Sara Rice (very Texan) and her new husband Luis Martinez (newly Texan). The two celebrated their love in a guerilla ceremony under the outstretched arms of no other than Big Tex. Allison captured the magic.
The STATE FAIR OF TEXAS opened Fry-day! AVS is our resident Fair Photographer. Below, Big Tex says, "Get your rear end to the fair, y'all!"
Sister Allison is part of a group show on Friday. All showcased images have been shot with the one and only iPhone. Come out and see how this great cast of photographers uses this new medium as a real and effective tool.
...way back in M A Y!!!
Here's a behind the scenes shot. We'll post the cover next week just in case you live somewhere in the far reaches of civilization outside the circulation of Parade.
Sister Allison is everywhere! You can't turn around without spotting another lovely AVS image these days. In the current issue of F!D Luxe, you'll find Allison's take on teepees and fine art.
