Well, she's already on the cover of Art Collector magazine, shot by Sonny...
Phew, that was quick, or I have really been busy! Tardy. No, busy - really busy. But I may as well make hay, so to speak, while she's on the cover, and show you some more of Amber....
Sonny told me he had to get some photos of a local artist. As she's local, he wondered if I knew her. Her name is Amber Wallis.
I responded with a "Nah".
I know I dabble in that world, but it doesn't mean I know anyone. But, about a half an hour later I pictured the name, and asked Sonny to spell it. I pictured the 'Wallis' in computer type, "Oh my God! I think we used to work together in the video shop in Bondi".
I had hoped I was right. That Amber Wallis was a gorgeous girl, and last I'd heard from her, she was at uni in Canberra.
Turns out she was the one, and I was so excited to catch up with her again and hear that she's living in God's country, near me!
I caught up with Amber on the shoot, and grabbed some shots myself.
We had so much fun working at that video shop in Bondi. Our boss, Sam, was the best. We could swear at customers if we deemed it necessary, smoke behind the counter, watch movies, and every now and then we were rewarded with yummy chocolate brownies. The hardest part was when I was on Saturday and Sunday morning openings at 8am, but Sam gave the right advice - he told us it was easier if we just stayed out all night!
And see what all that movie watching and having fun does.. It makes for great artists!
