I didn't pull Lisa over carrying 56 rolls of toilet paper in her trunk, but that's what I discovered once she was on the side of the road. As the only mall cop authorized to carry a loaded semi-automatic rifle, my ego and demeanor matched my spiked combat boots and ripped leather coat I bought from a costume shop to resemble the Terminator... so she respected my wishes to open her trunk. She told me she only had the best intentions with the "TP" as we like to call it around the guard shack, but when our mall copter spotted her circling the camera store we knew she had other ideas. I took Lisa into our "truth booth", which doubles as a phone booth and questioned her using Guantanamo Bay interrogation techniques. Come to find she was just upset at the camera store for being out of a particular lens she was hoping to use on an upcoming shoot. I soon realized her passion for amazing photos trumped every bit of logic and reason I'd ever seen. She insisted on getting what she wanted, and it was obvious in the quality of her photos and nothing could stop her. After 8 hours of questioning and mall-approved Chinese drip torture, we let her go at sunrise. We never saw or heard from her again, until Melvin, our undercover mall detective found her photos on Flickr. I knew they were hers by the passion in the photos. If you ever get the chance to work with her on a shoot you'll see this determination, and most likely some other illegal activity using bathroom paraphernalia.

Dang, there are so many things I could say about Lisa. She's been an amazing source of knowledge and inspiration since I first showed up on flickr. I can't think of anyone here that has helped me more, especially when I need a good kick in the butt to get me going. I consider Lisa an amazing artist and a good friend… Read more

Dang, there are so many things I could say about Lisa. She's been an amazing source of knowledge and inspiration since I first showed up on flickr.
