Searching for a look to complement these flowers turned up this memory of a December 2012 visit to Sarah Lou Designs.

Saturday In Marietta: Act II

This lady kindly allowed us our first portraits of the morning. The early sun was dodging clouds and gave a lesson in the subtleties of illumination. My preference is for gentle side lighting, which shows textures to advantage. Compare such an effect to that of diffused lighting here. The railroad leads nicely to a vanishing point and the low angle brings her height to meet the treetops. Heroic posing, indeed.

Atlanta Street Fashion has an intern. Meet Ashley, a rising high school senior who lives in Northwestern metropolitan Atlanta and is a fan of this 'blog. A life long interest in the business of fashion is reflected in theme of her senior project. Yes, she is building a portfolio of real life photography and reached out to me for mentorship. For our first style safari we met in Marietta, the site of a vibrant town square and its artists' and farmers' market. After coffee with her mother at Cool Beans, we took to the streets. These are the first souvenirs of that morning.

It has been a week for trains on this blog: first in College Park and now Marietta. After all, Atlanta is a railroad crossing all grown up. It was trackside downtown at the Indie Craft Experience last month that I met the Sarah half of SarahLou Designs. Her sense of retro-inspired whimsey and upcycling ethic demanded a second look. Time stood still as designer, model and photographer explored moods on the rails and in the studio. Also a painter, Sarah learned to sew at her mother's knee. That gorgeous heirloom Singer belonged to her grandmother, a War Department careerist. Please follow this link to more images from that day.
