... Mars Is Heaven
... as is often the case there is more than one 'version' of the portfolio piece. This is a result of the powerful tools of digital imaging. Truth be told there were probably thirty versions... but I've been able to narrow it down to just two. I now know from experience, just as in the previous days of silver based prints and darkrooms... time and people's reactions will make the final selection.
... The Green Hills of Earth
... this illustration came as a 'spin-off' from the Mars Is Heaven project.
... a better paint job!
...
for the 23 years the 747 version of Air force One has been in service I
have hated the paint job! (Livery). Finally took the time to redesign
it. The top is the current 'Whale' look- or "Big Blue Pigeon' The two
below are my proposed designs. If you agree that this National Symbol
could look a lot better- copy and paste this link to the illustration http://jamesvaughanphoto.blogspot.com/2013/03/better-paint-job.html, blame me, and
send to: Brigadier General Jacqueline D. Van Ovost :Commanders Action Line ... http://www.andrews.af.mil/
... Martin Hauser- Summa Healthcare
... the second in a series of portraits of business leaders of Akron, Ohio. This was the shot that helped
to explain to the other VIP's why I needed to shoot them 'in studio'. Marty runs the insurance division of the huge conglomerate that is Summa Health Care. Since I've done a lot of research on 1940's and 50's advertising, it was easy to pull inspiration from the dramatic insurance advertising of that era. My
biggest mistake was not spraying him with a little water. It took hours to photo-shop the rain onto that trench-coat!
