Ava - Welcome, Queen of Fire


Yes, today was video and picture day at the Fiddleguy's Place for "The Open Sesames" which was capably, artistically and pofessionally handled by photo artist, Pam Kaltenrieder (Garrick's partner who creates her work under the name of Pam K. ).

I enjoyed watching Pam stride around the performance space - her working space - with her trousers tucked into her knee-high, leather riding boots. Impressive. More impressive was watching her both see and sense what she wished her lens to capture in this space and then "smoothing" the three of us into it. Thanks, Pamela. Great work. I trust you enjoyed working with your new camera and learning how it will best serve your art. I like the meaty sound of its shutter! It's a fine tool.

One of Pamela's still photos (see this blog) from today's shoot is already uploaded and incorporated into our Blog Profile (wish they gave more space for this purpose) and soon we will be uploading one of her video clips - after Garrick does some editing and tweaking to make it super groovy. I can't wait to see what the two of them come up with!

I do know the video clip will tell all, or part, of the story of The Four Queens which draws on my knowledge of tarot and astrology (where the four elements of fire, water, air and earth are respected aspects of our human makeup). This is one of my favourite pieces. Each Queen definitely rules her own realm and has her own voice. As a Scorpio, I fall into the Queen of Water category. Just so you know.
