This collage combines two photos from a shoot I did with a fellow co-worker at the Restaurant where I worked. The color images in the background of the framed image are of the SF bay on one side and of the Nevada desert on the other.
There had been a photo of a nude male on the wall in that location and I originally posed her to be looking at it. But it seemed tacky and I didn’t really like the photo of the guy so I decided to put an image of my own in its place.
Parallel arms, lit pillow in the distance, sleep, warm skin tones, feelings, all combined so that I really liked this image. It is from a commissioned photo shoot, January, 2007.
Bruce Anderson was a fighter bomber pilot in WWII with the VSMC 243 Goldbricks, my father’s squadron. He was the flight officer, he got two distinguished flying crosses then, and another in Korea. He was very upset about the truce in Korea, we should have gone in and finished the job he thinks. Same with Vietnam. He lives in Florida with his wife of 60 years. His daughter came to the reunion from Utah, where she likes her Mormon neighbors.
