    Yeah, I wish I had been there, but I started a new movie this morning out in Walnut Grove, new production company new director all that jazz and I wanted to be reasonably sharp for it all, so I passed. Too bad! Looks like you had fun. You got some nice shots! Hardly wait to see what you do with a real SLR…. Which I think you have earned.

    Cheers!

    • Thanks for the encouragement! So far I am just figuring out how to take pictures – the money aspect remains mysterious. If and when I figure that out, I can buy a new camera. Your fashion shoot tips and coaching at TASS was a big help going into FMA. BTW – I did wardrobe in movies back in a different life :) Thanks again.

  2. It’s always refreshing reading Jannette’s articles. She has a great eye for detail and consistently demonstrates her passion for the fashion industry through her teaching, writing and coverage of events. It’s absolutely fantastic to see such an accomplished individual supporting local designers and retailers in the Vancouver area.
