After Club Maximus closed I started working with the folks at Bristol Recording and Voice Studios in Boston. I was asked to record songs for two of Bristol’s compilation CD’s, this meant…… another photo shoot! (photographer: Michael Neville, Metro Studio, Boston, MA, June 1997)

How the photo shoot came about is a great story.

The photo studio was on the 6th (and top) floor of an old brick commercial building in Boston. It was June and the weather had been a little cool that month, that is, until the day of my shoot. That day the weather was HOT. To do a photo shoot you need to bring a few different outfits – complete outfits - including shoes. So you end up lugging garment and tote bags. The shoot was on a Saturday. Did you know the elevators are turned off in commercial buildings on the weekend? Neither did I. I had to lug all my stuff up to the 6th floor – oh, and there was no air conditioning in the building either – or, like the elevators, it’s not turned on over the weekend.

Some of the pictures were taken on the roof – 7 stories high in Boston. I’m afraid of heights! To access the roof there was an opening in the ceiling at the top of the stairway. You had to climb a small ladder and go through the opening. If you looked down, you saw right down the center of the stairway to the first floor. Did I mention I’m afraid of heights? I really don’t remember exactly how I made it up to the roof (or back down – that’s totally gone from my memory), but I DO remember someone behind me, pushing my back end up the ladder and through the opening! Once on the roof, I tried to stay as far from the edge as possible, AND NOT LOOK!!!!! But, I was delighted with the results of the shoot, it was a fun day, and Mike (the photographer) did a great job!

This is the picture used for the “Rendezvous” cassette-case insert. It was also the one chosen to be the promo shot


Here it is – as the promo shot in Black and White


Another picture from the shoot


This is very similar to the picture that ended up being the promo shot. What I really like about this picture is it shows what’s written on the box: “Fragile”


Headshot


Same shoot, different outfit, no box.


Here’s one of the shots taken on the roof.
The photos from the “roof shoot” are all in Black and White


This picture ended up being the “official” photo for “More Than Distance”


If I shut my eyes, I won’t see that I’m 7 stories up
