i’m jealous of heidi lender

11.11.2010

Stand on a bench. Make sure it’s Monday. Wear something pretty.

These were the rules that American fashion editor/reporter, turned photographer, Heidi Lender followed for this series titled Once Upon. That’s how it started anyway. Clearly on the path to self-discovery, she chose to leave the glossy pages of the fashion world and moved to India nine years ago to study yoga. Well, somewhere between upward and downward dog she picked up a camera, and over a whole bunch of Mondays, this fun weekly assignment ended up exposing the many layers of who she really was… wild, controlled, tough, sweet, and quite obviously, always fashionable!

{ps. speaking of upward and downward dogs, how cute is her dog? my crazy wiener hounds would just be a blur running past in the background!}

    wow. that is VERY similar. i know that heidi’s work started off as part of a flickr pool called ‘bench monday‘… i wonder if this started in the same place, but she decided to get rid of the bench?

    Hi Jealous Curator and Heidi – I shared some of the images with your little dog on my blog Dog Art Today. This is an exquisite series. Really beautiful and evocative work. I would love to include your dog’s name if you have a chance to respond. And JC, your blog is one of the best in the blogosphere. Keep going!
