Cannon Law_ Long live the Short lived bands


'Canon Law' Live- Mesa, AZ (Story below)
Band members (L to R): James, Larry, Dug, and Gray


How many things in this lifetime do we start and have to give them up because we "unknowingly" overwhelm ourselves....again. I think this is pretty common for people who have a lot of interests. On the one hand, it seems like a lot of time could have been saved with a willful "No", but on the other, memorable experiences (like playing in front of an audience) and new friends are always gained from these endeavors. So, here's the story of Cannon Law.


Canon Law is a perfect example of that band who found each other through a like passion of music (and craigslist), committed to practices, agreed upon a name ('Canon Law' is a law from the Catholic doctrine meaning "eye for eye"... in few words or less. Inevitably this band will have to go their separate ways because of personal priorities. There are always the guys or girls whose lives only afford them enough time to play for fun, versus those who can pursue becoming the next great cover band (and apparently you can make pretty decent side money at bars).

Regardless of Canon Law's situation, they did get to play a show together a few weeks ago for Kristy's birthday in Mesa, AZ. And whether or not they can pull off a few more shows, I think everyone has had a good time shaking the walls every week at the CA Ramp Works Warehouse. . And, apparently Gray was playing real well this night, because Spring said "Yes!" to his proposal. Congrats you two! What a night!

Art Institute Recap_ Skateboarding and Art_ Organe County





The Art Institute is located in Costa Mesa, CA. A few weekends ago they held an event to promote their college programs, as well as, hand out scholarships to their devine students of Design. Between the student gallery, live art exhibitions, a skateboard demo, fashion show, and culinary delicacies, there was plenty to do.

How I ended up here was due to my fiance setting up the skateboard course for The Red Bull Demo. This was the first road trip since I'd moved out to AZ from FL, so I was pretty happy to be checking out the scene and tagging along.

The main art exhibit was a group called EVOCAL. Some of their graffitists are shown in the pictures above. For more of a full story on the skateboard side of things click here or go to Sk8 Dirt City.

Operation Community Capture

OPERATION COMMUNITY CAPTURE
Interview with Janicka Rouse by Morgan McDole

Before the Christmas rush happens at department stores, it breaks out at colleges around the nation, like the students enrolled at the Southeast Department of Photographic Studies (part of Daytona State College).  Whether busy applying final touches to their semesters worth of work, mounting for portfolio night, or using the benefits of the print lab for their family's Christmas presents, chaos is welcomed with a peace in knowing that relief is inevitable when the college closes its doors for the holiday break.  Although, for Photography student, Janicka Rouse, this season brought additional tasks to fill her plate.  She was making sure that families at the Salvation Army had something to look forward to on Christmas morning.  The interview about her Operation Community Capture follows.

"If you pay attention life gives you a chance to give back." ~Janicka Rouse

Morgan McDole: Talk a little about the project you were doing on Saturday, and how it came about.

Janicka Rouse:
Saturday was titled Operation Community Capture which is basically going to become the umbrella name that all other volunteer events I put together will fall under. The original idea for Saturday came about early in the semester as Professor Vandusen spoke to us about the power of photographs. He specifically noted a project where photographers had taken unique portraits of foster children that captured their individual character, versus what a typical head shot would convey to a prospective foster parent. The end result being more children placed in homes. The assumption being that the portraits brought out qualities about each child that would not otherwise have been noticed. I wanted to bring that experience to families who otherwise would not be able to have those moments captured. The families being brought in for this day are on deeply personal journeys at this point in their lives and would not otherwise be able to share in a private studio portrait session with their families. Many only see their loved ones one day a week and holidays. It is my hope that the portraits taken on Saturday will truly be making this holiday special for many years to come, and that they can refer back to these family portraits for inspiration, hope, and reflection.

MM: How many families did you shoot? How did you choose which families to shoot?

JR: At final count we actually shot 13 families, but were scheduled to shoot 15. We wanted to do so many more but time and resources just would not allow. I knew I wanted the families involved to have a desire and need for family portraits as well as have the experience of coming to the studios and making that time with their families memorable. Maureen Chidavaenzi recommended I contact Captain Karla Perez of the Salvation Army, since they already had a process in place for providing for families in need. Captain Perez was as excited as I was to provide families with portraits and immediately had names in mind. We were especially excited to add these prints to the families' Christmas baskets for Christmas day.
_Sisters hanging out.

MM: Name some people who helped you pull this off, and their role.
JR: If I only name a few I will feel horrible for leaving someone out! How about I just list the volunteers?... First to volunteer and offer to help was Kenny Glass, Duane Rodriguez, Jenna Michaels, Tyson Robertson, Patricia Woods and Amber Plutowski. From planning to execution those guys were there. Of course without the rest of the team of volunteers like Roger Linke, Jared Siegel and Lukus Harden, Nancy Boudreau, Becky Zackary, and Molly Coffin the day would not have gone as smoothly as it did. Then there were the donations from Sorrentos Italian Restaurant, Jeanne Fish, and even the stockroom! You were even there to help! Add to all of that, the support of Dan Biferie and all of the professors. How can I name just a few? It was truly a team effort all the way around with everyone doing what they could when they could, which is what I appreciate most. This may have been one person's idea, but there was a team behind the day and memories these families will always carry with them.

Above R: Tyson in session

MM: Who pays for the prints?
JR: Speedway was kind enough to offer a significant discount to help with the printing costs. Originally, I was seeking a donation to cover the costs of printing but was unable to find one. Just when I thought I would personally cover the costs, the Pastor of The Salvation Army offered. She called at the end of Saturday's sessions and said with all I had provided and already paid for she felt I had done enough. This touched me. I just figured I had committed to this cause and would see it through.

MM: What semester Photography student are you?
JR: I am headed into my fourth semester.

MM: How did this photo shoot differ from past projects you've done this semester?
JR: Well some differences would be this wasn't for a school assignment, my portfolio, or a paid assignment. And, I only shot one family! The volunteer photographers had everything under control. Though, the biggest difference for me was feeling as if we were truly doing something special for others. Using our skills to give back.

MM: Did you have a favorite family portrait?
JR: I did actually. It is a moment so spontaneous you can not help but smile when you look at it. Three sisters are sharing a laugh and Molly, the photographer for this family, caught it. There is another of a young boy pretending to meditate while a pose is being organized around him, Tyson Robertson happened to catch that one.

MM: Seeing families who are struggling economically, did this rub you in any way?
JR: Growing up in Baltimore, raised by a single mom whose biggest determination is to keep her family together and beat the odds, I believe makes me sensitive to the plight of struggling economically but also reminds me to never give up. Witnessing families who try so hard to survive and stick together through the toughest of life's circumstances, and then being apart of a family that did so, gives me hope that there are others who can benefit from my experiences. If you pay attention life gives you a chance to give back. I plan to take that chance every opportunity I get.

MM: What are you doing for Christmas?
JR: I will be spending Christmas with my family. This year is extra special because we will all be together at home. Last year my baby sister was born two months early, so Christmas was spent in Orlando by her side because she was not allowed to leave her incubator. This year she is a healthy one-year old, running around and reaching for anything she can get her little hands on. We are a little worried about her and the tree. Also, my Great-grandmother will be visiting from Baltimore.

MM: Is this something you would like to do next year? Anything different you would do?
JR: I would love to do this every year, growing to the point that we offer holiday baskets. My goal is to hold events yearlong in the community, not just during the holidays. It would also be nice to give back to the volunteers who donate their time, especially if the same people participate in Operation Community Capture efforts often.

MM: What's the most joyful thing about Christmas season to you?
JR:
The most joyful thing about the Christmas season for me is the memories created with my family, especially my son. Each year his ability to remember and grasp the importance of our time together amazes me. Its like he has never forgotten any one-time we made Santa cookies and chocolate milk. Or, donated toys to other children. He is always asking me, "Hey mom, remember when we..?" I am so grateful he holds on to those memories of us as a family. He does enjoy the gift part just like anyone else! This year, as he puts it, "Its all about Star Wars mom". He is hoping for a real LightSaber!

MM: Anything else you would like to share?
JR: I just wanted to add that there were some really special moments; for example, Mollie Coffin took special time out to give an aspiring photographer, from one of the families, a personal tour of the studio and building. She and her parents could not stop smiling and saying thank you.
Thank you again for the opportunity to share this story!

BEHIND THE LENS- SKENDI PHOTOGRAPHY

SKENDI PHOTOGRAPHY
-Behind the Lens with Kendi Sullinger--
Interview by: Morgan McDole
Photos_ Skendi Photography
(To visit her blog click here)

Someone with passion is unmistakable and unforgettable, because he/she projects an uncanny energy and drive. Where most people look and say, “Gosh, stop working so hard”, her response is,
“I love shooting live bands. There is so much energy that I just want to capture it in a single image. I also love fashion photography- everything about the shoot is controlled. I feel like I really created them rather than captured them.” ~ KS
BubbleShare: Share photos - Create and Share Crafts

-Interview -

DCZ: Kendi Sullinger, as I'm looking through your online portfolio via MySpace albums, a quality that a lot of artists don't have, jumps out at me. It is the ability to market and promote yourself…in other words; you don't wait for people to make things happen for you. Where did you develop this wise marketing sense? Or, are you even aware of it?
KS: Thanks! I always feel like I need to market myself more! I feel like I am better at marketing and promoting events, shows, ect. around town! Myspace is a great FREE tool, so I am constantly on it posting bulletins and spreading the word. If it weren't for the issue of money, I would love to see show posters make a comeback!

DCZ: It is so good seeing more and more people make things happen for this town…as it empowers and inspires others to make opportunity here. I see this in your photography. For instance, you are covering music/ fashion shows, supporting your friends companies, as well as their lifestyles, and also out and about for special events. What's your take on Daytona's direction?
KS: I definitely think that the art and music scenes are growing in Daytona! I would love to see some more art galleries that show more underground art. It would also be great to have a music venue that can host big bands and local bands.

DCZ: What is it about photography and graphic design that you love?
KS: I just love to create things. The best feeling is to look at something you created and amaze yourself!

DCZ: What are some other passions or hobbies of yours?
KS: I do a lot of mixed media, I draw/paint/spray paint on my photographs. I'm also starting to design clothes (so much fun!)

DCZ: Are you from here, if not, how did you come to be here?
KS: I moved to Florida from Pennsylvania the summer before I went into third grade. My family moved to Astor, Florida, but I've been in the Daytona area since high school.

DCZ: What is next on your calendar?
KS: I'm definitely going to continue working on my clothing! I just got some new fabrics and I'm thinking of new designs to make! I also really want to put on a themed art show! I don't have a date yet, but it will probably be next year.

DCZ: I notice you are also talented graphic designer. Is this income, or do you do flyers and the like just when you're involved in the coordination of an event?
KS: I wish that my graphic designs were a bigger part of my income...right now I am mainly just using this for flyers for various events.

DCZ: I loved your nature pictures. You have an eye for beauty. I also loved the series of fashion shots next to the classic car. What is your favorite thing to shoot?
KS: I love shooting live bands. There is so much energy that I just want to capture it in a single image. I also love fashion photography everything about the shoot is controlled. I feel like I really created them rather than captured them.

DCZ: Where is a place you would love to shoot, or maybe it's a subject or event…what is it?
KS: Oh, there are soooo many things on that list!!! I would love the opportunity to photograph some of my favorite bands live!

DCZ: What is your goal when shooting?
KS: If I am shooting a job, my main goal is to produce photos that they love. For me, I love to catch the feel and action of my subject. Especially when I am shooting live band shots, I like someone who wasn't at the show to be able to look at the picture and feel the energy that I felt when I was shooting it!

DCZ: How do you keep everything organized?
KS: Ha-ha! I use my organizer, the calendar on my phone, and tons of post-it notes!! I am constantly writing myself to-do lists!

DCZ: Where did you get your education?
KS: I learned soooo much about photography in high school. I had a great teacher, Heather Holjes - she's a professional surf photographer now. I also went to DBCC and earned my AS in Photography and a BFA of Graphic Design from the University of North Florida.

DCZ: What type of camera do you use?
KS: I use a Nikon D70; it's a digital camera. It is so much cheaper to shoot digitally anymore than with film.

DCZ: Do you have your eye on any new technology out there?
KS: Oh yeah!! I want it all...someday...when I have some more money! I would definitely like to add some more lenses to my equipment list and I would love to get a video camera!!

DCZ: Your dream career?
KS: I would love to design and own my own clothing company! I would love to work for/own a fashion magazine (I love them all!)

DCZ: Have you traveled at all?
KS: I've been "out West" mainly to Colorado (I would love to go again to shoot the beautiful landscapes). Canada, Mexico, Bahamas and St. Thomas. Two places in the United States that I still need to get to are New York City and California! Of course anywhere overseas would be wonderful to visit!!!!

DCZ: Where do you pull inspiration from?
KS: Any time that I want to be inspired I look at other artists work...photographers, painters, illustrators.

DCZ: Do you have a favorite artists or photographer?
KS: I really admire Glen E. Friedman's work, especially his band photos! His book, Fuck You Heroes, really got me interested in band photography in the first place.

DCZ: Would you say anything from your childhood steered you in the direction you're today?
KS: My parents bought me a Fischer Price point and shoot camera when I was four.... :)

DCZ: How did you get started? Talk about your first gig, so to say. Did you own or borrow a camera?
KS: I started shooting Re-Form live a looooong time ago while I was still in college, they were one of the first bands that I photographed.

DCZ: Anything else you want to say.
KS: Thank you sooo much for taking the time to interview me, I feel very privileged. Also thank you for caring so much about your community!! I love the Dirty City Zine!

Interview w/ Jewelist and Artist: Maleah Duncan

I love interviews like this: positive, ACTIVE, role models; we need more of them, especially for girls! Graceful, real, self-seeking, helper, free-spirited, wife, and obviously creative, these are the words that come to mind when thinking of Maleah’s demeanor and creations, without having met her personally. Well, we did once at art café in Cocoa, and didn’t know it at the time. I have heard lots of good things about her, from the jewelry and paintings, to the lifestyle she leads with her husband, Matt. She calls her work, “Maleah by the Sea”.
~ Morgan McDole


"I love to surf, ride my bike super fast, play in my garden, paint cool stuff, garage sale, laugh like crazy, dream, pursue God's Kingdom here on earth and share what that is all about. Share my story with people, so they can see how real God is, and how He takes us through life's hardest challenges hand in hand."~ Maleah Duncan






Interview w/ Maleah Duncan: Owner/ Creator of “Maleah by the Sea”- Click Heading to see more of her work.

Where did you grow up, where do you live now?
I grew up in Lakeland, to San Diego, to Asheville, to the Outer Banks and now I am back living in Florida, St. Augustine that is.

DCZ: What is the name of your company?
Maleah Duncan: “Maleah by the Sea”

DCZ: How long have you been painting and making jewelry?
Maleah: I have been painting since college and doing jewelry for about 3 years. These young, local North Shore girls got me into it. I started making earrings for me to wear, and then after enough requests, I began getting accounts to sell them.

DCZ: What got you started?
Maleah: I love to make things with my hands, design with bold colors and new creations. Playing around is what got me started. The same is with painting or distressing furniture, taking something and making something totally new out of it. I love the process and seeing the finished product. It is what gives me that satisfaction inside through creativity.


DCZ:What else are you into?
Maleah: I am into traveling...I am heading to Nicaragua in a month to visit a whole bunch of friends who are heading there at the same time. It is a gift from my husband since I am turning 30 in July....that is crazy!!! I love to surf, ride my bike super fast, play in my garden, paint cool stuff, garage sale, laugh like crazy, dream, pursue God's Kingdom here on earth and share what that is all about. Share my story with people, so they can see how real God is, and how He takes us through life's hardest challenges hand in hand.

DCZ: Who or what inspires your work?
Maleah: Creation inspires my work. All that God already made and we get to enjoy. I love His color pallete.. i am just an ol' copy cat!! he he he

DCZ: Is there a purpose behind your work, something that drives you? Maleah: My purpose in everything when I am really living through my giftings, is to bring GOD glory...so people can see Him in me. I, on my own, am lame and rude but when I am living for Him love somehow comes out of me. I am so much cooler in Him.

DCZ: If you had a piece of advice for an artist who was going to try and make a living off their work, what would you say?
Maleah: Be helpful to other artists, try to push others along, make good lasting connections, and be generous. In the beginning, you can't expect to make high dollar on your work. Get involved in charity or auctions that have a good cause behind them. Let people see you connected with helping others and using your gifts for greater purposes. Give and you will always get back MORE!! You will also get attention and people will see your work out there. It's a great way to start.

DCZ: How much does what’s going on in your life reflect in your work?
Maleah: Tons! When I am full of new experiences and adventure then I am motivated to work through those avenues. If I am going through hard times, I am not into my art but distracted. I think I need to push out of some of those ruts that I can fall into and just do my art no matter what and see what comes from some of those less blissful places. I tend to put it on the shelf but hopefully that will change:)

DCZ: Name one experience in your life that has played a major part in who you are today?
Maleah: Through some really hard circumstances that I have been through in my life, I have gotten really low and depressed. Hopeless is a good word for it. I have broken and crumbled and had to choose hope, joy, faith and will power to pull myself out. That isn't an easy place to climb out of, but it has made me realize that my only hope is Jesus. Who He says I am, my identity, purpose and choosing to live from Heaven to Earth has given me a new call towards destiny. I want to share all about our high calling and the passion of living in this life. It is so great and God is so good!

DCZ: Name one experience in your life that has played a major part in how you think today?
Maleah: My dad's suicide three years ago. When the reality of brokenness is in your face, and you see that there is a darkness in this world that wants to kill and steal your soul, then you realize that you only have one choice in this world to fight or to give up. Life isn't to be lived rolling along in complacency and mediocrity. Nothing satisfies. New clothes are great for a few days, a new car for a month or two, a good meal for an hour, a new boyfriend for a season.…we always think this or that is going to make us truely happy and satisfied, but only God gives fulfillment and makes your longing soul to find its rest. That is what I have learned, and I am thankful that God knows how much we can handle. He obviously knew that I could handle this, and would grow from it. God didn't say it would be easy but He did say that he would never leave us or forget us.


DCZ: Describe yourself.
Maleah: I am a goofy girl, love to make people laugh, sometimes too serious and a perfectionist (this annoys me!), I fear to fail but realize that is just lame and won't do me good, I love doing spontaneous things, camping out, motivation people to pursue new things....I was always called the "Pied Piper" growing up by my mom. I am pretty easy going and love going hard at things.

DCZ: What is it about what you do that you think feeds your soul?
Maleah: Just doing what I love to do, taking care of my husband and my home, reading books that stretch my mind and actions, surfing and taking long walks.

DCZ: Talk about the married life?
Maleah: It was a tough start but it really brought me to my knees and made me realize that taking captive of negative thoughts isn't just a quote it is serious business. Our mind affects our actions. So I just continue to live in thankfulness that my husband is a good man, respectful, honors me and shows me love through his actions. Keeping my mind on positive things and thinking the best of him, helps me to live honorably for him. Putting God first in our marriage/friendship and praying together is an important asset. Growing to fulfill our destiny, together, is something that keeps us totally connected and fueled. Marriage is to bring out the best in us and that is also by showing us things in ourselves that have to be removed for it to work. We all got junk in the trunk. Mine was bad!! HAH!


DCZ: Is your husband supportive?
Maleah: OHH yeah!

DCZ: At what point did you decide to take the entrepreneurial lifestyle on full-time?
Maleah: I think it will always be a part of my life but not the whole. I have a lot of things other than my art that I feel very passionate about. All the pieces, including my art, come together to make the total. It is a calling card God has given me. It is a big part because I was made to do art, but I was also made to be a good wife and someday a good momma. So it will be something I will always love to do and it supports our income, humbly:)!

DCZ: What is next in your future? Dreams? Plans for yourself?
Maleah: My next plans are to set up more accounts and also seek a place to serve alongside my husband. We are looking forward to that, and have been in prayer over it.

DCZ: Do you have any art shows coming up?
Maleah: Not yet.

DCZ: Where can people purchase your product, or check it out?
Maleah: Go to my myspace site: www. myspace. com/maleahbythesea, so you can see some of my work, jewelry, and make purchases if you see something you gotta have!

DCZ: Okay, who are some people you’d like to thank thus far in your life?
Maleah: Momma, Grandma and Grandpa, and Matt Duncan the love of my life!

Endless Summer Fest Coverage

The Endless Summer Fest was put on by The Turning Point Youth Collective. You can learn more about their efforts at turningpointyouthcollective.org


Dirt City Zine had a booth where they displayed information about their charitable organization Dirt City Missions. They also had delicious "Dirt Tea" going for a dollar a cup.


The Dirt City product consisted of self-designed articles of clothing, canvas grocery bags to discourage waste, self-bound blank journals created by Claire Mitchell, and quite a few fun items with their logos all over them. The most important part of their booth was the fact that the money collected is going towards their first Mission in March 2009 to Odessa, Ukraine.


This booth was entitled "Gertrude" run by Alisa Buselli (alisabuselli.com), James Hartsell (myspace.com/theglonga), and Crystal Evans. Photography, artwork, records, books, and crafts all made up a neat swap meet.


The artwork to the right belongs to Brendan Manning. You can contact him and see more of his work at http://www.myspace.com/artmusiclife3.


The suitcases really grabbed your eye, being the first booth seen as you're walking in. 3 artists shared these tables: Sherise Epstein (www.sheriseepstein.com), Bernadette Wall, and Josiah Lloyd all shared a similar media, but left them being so very different from one another.




Here's photography by Kim Kuhn, urban landscapes and conceptual portraits. The paintings in the back are pieces by Eric Marzinko.

It's nice to see so many talents pulled together in a town that seems to smother fires that burn wildly. It was a long day for most and the turn-out wasn't what most had hoped for. The fact that people came out at all, of all ages and character, was much appreciated. Hopefully minds were opened to new ideas and lifestyles in one way or another. You'd never believe the impact one person can have on another. I hope to see more positive activities in the days to come.
