24. Eric Tessmer
from 1:50 am to 2:00 am, E. 6th St. Austin, TX, USA
This guy is an incredible musician and he currently plays in Austin TX with is band, we met him by chance in Austin, in a bar called ‘Friends’. We watched the performance and then approached him and asked him if we could do a shooting with him then and there, he accepted. So since he was actually loading his van, Ana helped him and Waty took pics of the process. This guy is a real genius and an exceptional find.
23. Eugene H. Shaw
from 3:15 pm to 3:54 pm, E. 12th St. Austin, TX, USA
Phyllis from two shootings earlier took us around her neighborhood in Austin to meet interesting characters. At her friends house they lent Ana clothes and she walked around the neighborhood in the deathly heat to the local mechanic. At first he was rather reluctant to have his photo taken but after showing him some of the former pics he accepted and let Ana enter his garage and tamper with the vehicles.
22. Lori Linder
from 2:10 pm to 2:50 pm, Sol Winston Ave, Austin, TX, USA
She has an incredibly strange and fascinating house. It’s decorated with numerous taxidermy pieces, everything from fish, to mammals to a large goose. There is also a coffin in the living room with a skeleton inside (we’re guessing it’s not real), and this lovely grandma who joined us for tea was actually one of the dummies in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but she didn’t render well on camera, so she was tossed away. She now sits on the head of the table of Lori’s dining room. Apart from the bizarre decoration, Lori also has an incredible collection of coats which we had the privilege of peeking through. There were far too many peculiar things in this house to mention them all, but it was definitely the most remarkable place we saw in Austin.
21. Phyllis Evetts
from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, Chestnut Ave, Austin TX, USA
She is an artist who lives in Austin with her dogs (there were also some cats), she took us all around her neighborhood to meet different people and take pics with them.
20. Mr Blu
from 10:40 pm to 11:00 pm, E. 6th Austin, TX, USA
We met Mr Blu in this bar in Austin that had some metal concert going on. The bouncer tried to rip us off and wanted each of us to pay 20 dollars to get in (when everyone was going in for free). So we didn’t go in and were a bit pissed off and just decided to hang around a bit outside and see if we could get in at some point for free. So we caught Mr Blu’s attention, he was sitting inside with his brother and we started talking to him through the window (it didn’t have glass). And we told him that the bouncer was trying to rip us off, so he came outside and told us that he could walk us in. While outside we explained him our project and asked him if he wanted to participate, he did. So Ana hopped on his bike behind him, but he had another idea for the shoot and we are always willing to comply… Then he walked us in the bar, and we had no further problems at the door. Then we spent some time with them in the bar, sharing life stories.
19. Barry Rosenhamer
from 12:49 pm to 12:53, Nevada, USA
Before going to the States, Ana responded to an ad that she saw on craigslist, it was a man looking for a parasol girl to walk him around in the desert. Ana and Barry began talking over internet and eventually met up in the desert where she spent a couple hours as his parasol girl, he invited us to eat with him and his camping troop and gave us lots of handmade gifts. He was very warm and welcoming, the perfect companion for a desert stroll.
18. Cody Bednarz
from 3:00 pm to 3:05 pm, Harold’s, N Main St Junction, Texas, USA
We met him on the road when we stopped at a gas station and we both immediately wanted him to be part of the project, so he let Ana in the employees area and lent her a ‘shell’ uniform…
17. Consiance Saber
from 12:10 pm to 12:19 pm, Black Canyon Hwy, Phoenix, AZ, USA
We took this pic at the best western that we stayed the night in. The manager posed as the client and Ana did her part and checked her in.
16. Dan Clint Hayden Jr.
from 10:00 pm to 10:28 pm, Burnham Ave 89169, Las Vegas, USA
We had met Dan a week earlier in Nevada but decided to make the shooting at his place in Las Vegas, so since we were all heading in the same direction we went to his place in for a game of poker. He is a graphic designer, and he’s also covered in tattoos.
