Cue the Billy Holiday soundtrack. Please. "Gloomy Sunday" would be appropriate as we shot on a bitterly freezing winter day on a Sunday. But that's a little too gloomy of a song. Maybe "Crazy He Calls Me" ? Yes , let's put that firmly in the background as we go back in time. It was so adversely cold , we skipped the exterior shooting altogether and went straight to the interior shooting only. My how the things that change our decisions makes them better sometimes , no? One model couldn't make it , two of the interior locations did not open until later than we thought , I forgot my battery pack (seriously - never did that before) and we ran an hour behind the schedule. That hour made the hotel less empty as it was depleted of guests that went out to see the Steelers play that day. Perfect timing even if not planned by the hiccups of the day. I could easily say the day went as planned and we planned to do everything you see below , but the moments are more fun to think about in the idea of almost not happening. It is my great pleasure to present these photos featuring the lovely Gabriela wearing Holly's beautiful floral pieces canvassed with the timeless William Penn as our backdrop.
