The MUSE at the Lounge...

Monday night at the Apache Cafe and Lounge. Sunset is the MUSE.

This a series of candid pictorial moments between the MUSE and the ARTISTS...

Just cool...

Susannah Marie

Susannah Marie has a message for those she seeks to inspire...

I'm a Muse; playful, sensual and lots of energy. There's a fine line between sensual and sexual but nevertheless it is distinct. I apply movement to my poses, graceful moves, I move slowly enough for you to tell me when to stop and I'll hold the pose.

My body is sculpted and expressive so bring lots of film, photo cards or whatever it is that you use. I have some music to bring with me, if you have some then shoot for slow classical (piano concertos - Chopin) ambient music/world music/tribal music such as; enigma, delirium, cirque du soliel etc.

Please feel free to see more of Susannah's fantastic work here and here. Believe me when I say she is phenomenal when it comes to pushing the creative envelope. The images here barely scratch the surface. Hopefully she will be involved in the Garden more intensely in the near future.

sugar cane

History takes me back to the basement of our culture

I can’t hide myself anymore

Beneath this so-called of civilized men

The sands of time is what I’ve been made with

The hand of the past may help to lay back relax

If we check it now.

And what you’ve got to do is just take care of

That inner black beauty that shines through

Your melanine tone

And take care of everything you got visible or invisible.

For not so long ago they didn’t love none of us –

At all.

I’d like to tell you something

It’s all about my own thing

Now I know what is sweet

I know what is sweet as sugar cane

And the promises they made at these times

Of struggle and fight must provide change in your mind.

For life is for lore

All praises are for the Lords.

So the souls descending from the

Tribe of Atkaptah will have to

Reminisce and unified on strong.

So don’t go dreamin’ on the edge of their land

Oh no ! No ! You’ll go flyin’ high, you’ll go too high

And now for the rest, let’s remind the pledge :

Each time you’ll taste the fruit of the cane

Don’t forget the whip, the field, their sweat.

(So this heritage will be as sweet as sugar cane…)

I’d like to tell you something

It’s all about my own thing

Now I know what is sweet

I know what is sweet as sugar cane

Jacky Gotin aka Kija...

Born in 1980, Jacky Gotin entered the world of photography immortalizing pieces of lives that staged friends and members of his family. This pastime progressively turned into a passion and became a reality during a journey in Paris, in the course of which he met photographers that were fascinated, just like he was, by the Parisian soul scene and its representatives of the moment. Influenced by his afro-caribbean origins, his photographies are doors opened on the world and the beauties that emanate from it under its most varied forms.

You can see more of his work here and here.

the artist and model and silhouette...

"The Artist is Michael Bennett and the Muse is Anomalia Chin. And this is their magic.


For these images, Michael Bennett wanted to shoot in studio trying a little variation on the silhouettes he'd been doing. He appreciated the sense of sensuality in this set and the soft and subdued quality a lot of the captures have. These images are an innovative compositional mix of Anomalia's hair, overall figure and skin tone. The two of them created some of the most creatively, sensual and passionately glamorous captures in the Garden.




This is just a few of the images and you see more of Michael provocative and artistic explorations on his blog here. And to see Anomalia's modeling portfolio, just go to here .

a pictorial moment from God...

If you recall, I did a post a while back about Rainy Days where I talked a little about the idea I had for a picture set for the portal that I didn't get to take because it was a cloudy, rainy day.


But there was this moment...like...from God, where the sun poked through the clouds. It wasn't for long; 20 maybe 30 minutes. But it was a blessing. It was moment. And we captured it. There will be a full set on the portal.


Thank you.

Charlisha...a pictorial moment

Charlisha is a model that I've recently spoken to online about joining us in the Garden. A Fashion Merchandising student, Charlisha wants to focus on art and fashion photography as both a model and photographer. Being a lover of art, she wants to use captures to provoke visual stimulations to the mind. She has also ventured into acting. Her beauty has been captured by the likes of Patrick Covington , Kever Conyers III , the KS Collection and B L O P H O T O. You can check out her modeling portfolio here and her photography portfolio here. I look forward to seeing what she chooses to do next.
