Eastside Academy photo event.

  Eastside Academy Senior Photo Event

On Saturday, June 1, Red Pants Studio will be taking portraits for 10 seniors from Eastside Academy .

Eastside Academy impacts the lives of at-risk youth in our community by inspiring change through high school education, counseling, recovery, and skills programs in a Christ-centered environment.

Why we’re doing this?

Senior photos give students an opportunity to show off who they are and mark the completion of their journey. Typically students use these pictures on graduation invitations and announcements, social media and many other places.

Our goal is to make this a fun-filled day to remember for the seniors, and provide them with a great set of photos to remember and celebrate their hard work.  The sessions will be even more special, since we’ll shoot the portraits on location at Urban Light Studio, in the Green lake area of North Seattle for this day.

And, closer to the heart, we want to embrace the opportunity to reach out and have an impact on someone.

How can you help?

Thanks for asking. Yes, all of this is completely voluntary.

The photographers have donated their time to shoot. The retoucher has donated much of the following week to help produce the images.

There are other opportunities to:

Sponsor: $1,000 goal

·         We’ll have 4 stations. Each station will cost $250.00 to cover the expense for the day at the studio.

·         Donations are only to cover the expense of the rental space.

·         Any funds raised above that total will be given to Eastside Academy.

·         Questions, please call Drew at 425-879-7378

Provide Food: Appetizers and drinks for a dozen high school kids.

Volunteer On-Site:  Join the fun, we will find enough work for anyone who wants to help.

The mighty Retro Kitchen

Atomic Ranch was the first thing that came to mind when I walked into this kitchen. The rest of the house is matching, but I had the task of shooting just the kitchen.
From the hanging vent hood to the colored glass, the kidney shaped counter, and the double oven.
Rich in history, a real time capsule. The black and white is... well just time fitting. Enjoy the pics.

Collette Collins Design / ENCAUSTIHYDE

"ENCAUSTIHYDE" 

"The process of working with Collette Collins Design is like meeting with Louis Vuitton before your big event and taking your pick from his designs—and then suggesting changes tailored just for you. In the world of architecture, the architect designs your home, or dress—if you will—, but Collette Collins designs the “accessories” that make your home more “you.”

Collette Collins is a designer and builder of unique sculptural furniture, cabinetry, and decorative wall coverings; including mirrors, work stations, and housing for appliances.Because she is not attached to just one medium, Collette draws from a broad body of knowledge to design using diverse materials, from exotic hardwoods to beeswax-and-leather encaustics; rubber, fabric, lead to suede and acrylic. This adaptability in her one-of-a-kind designs is also what enables Collette to integrate salvage material into her fashionable, cutting-edge pieces."

For the last two years I have worked with just a few of the product lines that this talented female artist, designer, builder, and creative thinker has produced. It has been a real honor to shoot these product / art pieces, with her and for her.

A day out

On a day out with my daughter we found our way to the Olympic sculpture garden and a great little cafe down the street.
 

A neighborhood, and the value of art

I had the great delight of shooting in Stonegate neighborhood today, thanks to Sue Lunsford of Windermere real-estate.
We got off to an early start, which allowed me to stop for set of pictures of the entry to the neighborhood, the great park, and the recently commissioned art-work inside the playground. Although you will need to watch the virtual tour of the home to see those great images, pictured here is great sculpture found just across the street from the park.

Thanks Stonegate community in Renton, WA. for the value you put on art in your neighborhood.

Ray Merriwether

      Right away I was drawn to this home. It could have been its mid-century modern style, and the simple lines, or the part of history that it expressed. However it was the windows in the rear that really grabbed my attention. The smooth curve of the living room and back porch seemed to hug Lake Washington and the distant City of Seattle. 

2012 year end review

Taking a look back through 2012 has been great. I am at a loss for words at how fortunate I am as a photographer, and how honored I am to have the opportunity to shoot for so many great clients. This past year I had the opportunity to capture so many great spaces, and many beautiful faces. Thanks to all who opened these spaces up to Red Pants Studio, and to those who showed their great smiles. I look forward to 2013.
