The White Cadejo: An Interpretation

According to legend, The Cadejo is a spiritual creature that appears in the night to help travelers. Some Central American and southern Mexican folklore have stated the Cadejo's spirit often takes the shape as that of a wolf and having antlers.There is a white and a black Cadejo to represent Good & Evil, although it isn't uncommon for both colors to misrepresent themselves. I chose to name this photo The White Cadejo as the majority of the face is white but only the eyes are dark and the projection of her hair representing the position of antlers. I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Rockabilly!

I had the pleasure to finally meet Michelle, who came from Germany to hang out with me in the studio for her Rockabilly shoot - A gift for her Hubby. We had so much fun that we just started adding props and playing. This was a great shoot.
 I consider Michelle a dear friend, who took the time to get to know me and who appreciates my art just as much as I appreciate hers. She crochets fine work and is very very artistic in her own right and with many mediums.

Thank you Michelle.. I had a blast! My door, a good listening ear and my heart are always open for you girl! You are the best! (no arguing)
