Re-Publishing of Mystic Woman Memie - Portrait With a Life of It's Own

Memie is the first woman to be shot in the studio for The Mystic Women of Salem project.  Actually, her shoot was done even before
MWS was born...and before this blog was created.  As you will read below, the interviewing process was beginning at the time I presented her with a portrait from her shoot.  Various processes and policies had not even been thought of at this point, much less implemented.  Wow,  what a long, long way we have come.  
Memie continues to be a pillar of positivity and powerful magick in our community in Salem, Ma.
She just told me that she would be promoting MWS tonight on the radio!!!  THANK YOU MEMIE!!!  For your continued support, honesty, integrity and for being an excellent example of the extremely high levels that we, as magickal/mystical women conduct ourselves resulting in being role models for the mundane world - and WE NEED THAT NOW folks!!!

The below is a snapshot I took of my dear friend Memie at Mabon 2010 in Salem, Mass. She is holding a portrait that I had shot of her a few months ago. Memie has been instrumental during the creation and interviewing/screening process for "The Mystic Women of Salem" project. I was/am so indebted to her for her consistent willingness to assist, that this portrait was printed/mounted and presented to her as a gift, before the Mabon 2010 celebration...as a token of our appreciation. She was so excited that she immediately began going from table to table showing everyone! The feedback that I got was overwhelming and ALL positive. Many people were wanting to book a shoot with me, but, I had to discourage them since "Mystic" is taking priority at this time. I am not booking shoots for portraits like hers until summer 2011...just fyi everyone.

Laurie Cabot told Memie that I had truly "captured" her essence! Thanks Laurie!

Many discussions about the project/subject selection and upcoming shoots continued throughout the evening.




There was buzz in the photo department on Monday about these snapshots..."the portrait seems to have a life of it's own." Yes..I concur! :)
