My girlfriend and I wen the The Funny Bone last Saturday night and we had such a great time. If you've never checked out a comedian live... you must! We saw ”Bert Kreischer” and he was hilarious.
Black and white editorial street photography of a dressed up elderly gentleman with a cane walking in front of some office buildings in Washington, DC. Photograph was taken in the mid 1970's with high speed 35mm film so there is a nice vintage grain to the image. Photograph by Craig Brewer.
I’ve been needing to get a photo in order to renew my British passport for a while now. These days you can use a digital image. I did go to a local store to get one but they only do printed and the one I got was so small it was impossible to scan. So today, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Picture for the passport and portrait for PAD. It took me forever to find the right spot. Had to have a plain, light coloured back, no background shadows, no face shadows (hopefully my double chin doesn’t count). I finally landed on the right spot and had to take dozens of photos to get the right ones - eyes close, looking down, smiling when I shouldn’t, too much chin, too little chin, too much light, too little light. I’d struggle to be patient enough to be a portrait photographer. Even so, I think I’d like to get a couple of speed lights and do some off camera flash work. I think this is the first time I’ve put a jacket on since the beginning of covid times. I’ve worn a collared shirt a couple times but the dry cleaner has barely seen a week’s worth of shirts.

So today I had a interview for a higher up position in my company. I had to put in my own style with chucks and a tie. The first interviewer seem to dig it. The interview seemed to go well but I will see next week if I got it. I took this tonight after I forgot my camera at work. I sort of happy with my SOOC shots so I turned to the sliders in iphoto and came up with this.
Eight years ago, my friend Brigitte calls me up one evening and to tell me that there's an open call to all KISS fans to participate in upcoming film shoot of 'Detroit Rock City', a story about four friends and their adventures when they lose their tickets to see KISS' Love Gun Show of 1979.
I like KISS but I'm not a huge fan. Brigitte is. However being part of a movie, dressing up in 70's gear (OK, I was already doing that anyways), I was totally for it.
So, for a few days, Brigitte and I, along with her sister Monique, our friend Rick and others, all went down to the old CNE Exhibition grounds for the shoot. They were fun times, long waits and stealing free food that was only available for the paid extras - not the unpaid ones. The final taping took place in Hamilton, at Copps Coliseum for the grand stadium scene. Brigitte, Rick and I traveled there for the day.
Being unpaid extras, we and a hundred other fans, sat in the coliseum's basement waiting for our chance to get taped. Finally after several hours, we were told that to enter the arena, all rushing to the front to be as close as we could to the band.
Before shooting, the director came on stage and directed a few individuals to move to different areas in the crowd. The paid extras were a mixed of people dressed up in 70's outfits, much like the characters from 'That 70's Show' and groupies. The unpaid extras had make-up, including myself. The director told me to move closer to my right and a little up front, to mix with the non-paid extras. So I did.
Suddenly, I hear this loud-pitch, Valley Girl-sounding voice from my right shoulder, saying, "EXCUSE ME, but you're in my shot!"
I turned around, only to see this girl who was dressed up as a groupie and looked at her confused but very much like this but less scrunchy.
"The director told me to move here," I said.
"Well, you're in my shot. I'm supposed to be here!"
"So am I!"
I was pissed.
Like this scene was going to make her a star. Like some casting director will see this clip, which will no doubt be shown for a split second once edited or found on the cutting room floor, and cry out 'THAT'S THE BEST DAMN GROUPIE I'VE SEEN IN YEARS!!!'. Oh yeah, honey, this is SOOOOOOO your shot.
Needless to say, I didn't move from my spot, and the groupie moved somewhere else for her Norma Desmond moment, which still has yet to be seen I bet.
A few months later, I get a call from my friend Greg and after the usual 'hello, how are you's' over with it, he asks, "Were you in a KISS movie?"
I paused. "Um... yeah?"
"Oh, because you're in Entertainment Weekly."
"WHAT?!??!!?!"
At Copps, while we were all waiting downstairs for our big arena scene, photographers were walking around shooting people. I would always look straight into the camera, even though I'm sure that would piss them off as they wanted candid shots. I didn't care. If you're taking my picture, I will look at you. I guess it paid off.
Now, I'm one of the very few who can honestly put this on their resume: 'Stephanie Cloutier - as seen in Entertainment Weekly.'
Big thanks to my pal Jonah for scanning it - it's best seen fucking large!

I could not resist taking this candid shot. The dog had the most unfriendly look as it showed it's teeth but seemed so cheerful in it's actions and general demeanor.
Day 300!!! What!?? That is so NUTZ! I can't believe I only have 65 days left!!
So I got a lot of ideas from friends and family, and did alot of them, I just couldn't decide what to post.
There is one in particular that I really want to do but didn't get the idea until it was day 301! I think I will just post that one just for fun! :D
Much Love,
T-Sil
Some times it's fun to be someone else for a 365 shot.
I'm not normally a huge fan of selective colour but when I pressed the yellow only preset in Lightroom I was pleasantly surprised.
