Sappy, but a Goodie:
This last Saturday I had the honor of photographing one of the coolest chicks on the planet. For six hours. In a parking garage, city parks and downtown lots. At a famous, Houston restaurant and the surrounding property of the Menil Collection. We climbed trees, scaled walls and waterfalls, and even climbed into an abandoned shopping cart. Through rain and sunshine and a ridiculous cold front brought by crazy wind gusts that almost killed me. And it was by far one of the funnest days of my life. Not a single second of it felt like work. Seriously, just look at the joy that spews out of this girl.
If you ever need to learn a thing or two about how to take only the greatest things out of life, how to insert joy and positivity into everything you do, how to love and nurture the best (and even the worst) parts of yourself before being able to love and nurture the best and worst parts of others, talk to Deanna.
She's fearless, totally hardcore, and one of the strongest and most loving human beings I know. Which is saying a lot coming from me. Deanna isn't just one heck of an awesome model, but she's a great friend. And I'm gonna miss the bajeebus out of her when she runs off to culinary school in New York.
I'd wish her luck, but she doesn't need it. Deanna takes whatever the world throws at her and uses it to her benefit. If I'm going to hope for anything for her, it's that she never loses sight of that. A practice most adults I know still struggle to master. Deanna's a rare breed for sure, and I'm incredibly lucky to know her.
