I’ve been such a bad blogger this year! So much has happened, that I haven’t mentioned. It’s partially due to the fact that when you’re working with musicians and record companies there can be a delay between shooting an artist, and then seeing the final CD debut. But I also have to admit that I’m just behind… So I’ll try to rectify that a bit now – with another CD that debuted this year, with one of my images on the cover!
Marty Casey released the CD single, Crime of Fashion in the late Spring, and it’s only available with a purchase from his Silver Elements Jewelry line – available at silverelementscollection.com. You can hear a clip of the song at Silver Elements Collection: Music – just click on the song title on that page, and then in the popup window, click on the sound icon!
We actually shot the cover last summer, in an elevator in a swanky hotel on the Sunset Strip – can you guess which one? The shiny textured metallic wall may offer a bit of a clue!
My images have appeared on four CDs in the last two years – and of those images this one is definitely the closest to my fine art work. I’ve always been attracted to multiple and long exposures! And I love that Marty is brave enough as an artist to go a little wild with me, and make an image like this happen – and I love it even more that he chose it for his CD cover. Says a lot about him as an artist!

Thank you very much Glyndon!
I love it! You and Marty are both Innovative! The camera loves Marty and you capture him absolutely Purrfectly! Always!
Thank you Rachael! Innovative is a great compliment!
Just out of curiosity, can anyone find the second face in this? The image quality may be too low here on Facebook to spot it, but the exposure was long, and there was movement…
Yes I see it. I Love this…just love it! So cool, so clever, fun and intriguing. Good stuff!!
Actually I see a third face as well…
Leave it to Tania… Every time, she sees! She’s amazing that way…
Great work as always!
Thanks Jason!
My eyes might be tricking me, but it looks like there are 2 additional faces…and another arm and scarf. Cool stuff! :)
I had a feeling this was your work when I got my CD. I love it! The song is pretty awedome too!
Such awesome perspective Cheryl! Beautiful work!
I see three faces too! :)
Excellent work there Cheryl – now, all I’ve got to do is convince Art that I need more stuff from the silver elements collection………
Cheryl, I went back and looked and found the second face! Cool!

Thank you everyone! And I love that Shelly, Melinda, and Janell are seeing the extras!
And Dawn, you’re right – you do need more things from the line – everyone does!
