Introducing Jensine!

The lovely Jensine is the first of the MarksPixels studio spokesmodels for the 2009 senior class. Isn't the awesome? We had a super fun session this afternoon, and a lot of the reason for this is she came prepared. She had plenty of different clothes, but also relevant props! She is studying culinary arts, and brought her chef uniform. She plays lacrosse and field hockey, and brought her sticks. Here is a small sampling, check out my myspace page or facebook page to see more.




Like what you see? We can do this for you, too! Contact me and we'll set something up. MarksPixels specializes in senior portraits, and is currently seeking additional senior spokemodels. Interested? Apply by contacting me!

Listen to the Music!

So how did we amuse ourselves last night? We went to the 1st annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of Greater Nashua concert. What a great time! There were 5 different acts, all of whom had ties to the Nashua area (many with LOOOOOOOOONG time ties.) And her honor, Mayor Donnaleee Lozeau even showed up, with commemorative proclamations for 3 of the bands. It was a fun night of rock and roll.

Many of the bands were pretty incestuous, borrowing and trading member from other bands, so it was interesting to see who played with whom over the course of the night. Leading off was Jimmy D, who did a solo acoustic set including some pretty great songs, including Ants Marching by DMB among others. The crowd hadn't totally gathered by then but he started things off well. Next up was the 3 piece band AMP, who were pretty damn good themselves, and included a couple of other guys for some of the last numbers. Then came crowd favorite Fantasia, who pretty much brought the house down, provoking the issuance of ladies' undergarments from the crowd. Now that was hilarious!



Fantasia bassist Ron Trudeau was the organizing force for this concert, which was a fundraiser for a scholarship in the memory of a teen killed last year in a car crash that also took the life of another teenage girl. The Nicole Scontsas fund was set up in memory of one of the young girls.

One of the things we did was to create slideshows of images from the concert during the course of the night and Sky Lounge owner Alex Newell got them up on the big screen (and a bunch of the other TVs) for us. In the next few days I am going to create a larger slideshow from the entire event and post it here (and on YouTube, probably). Check back. It will be fun!


After Fantasia the legendary Nashua band Aces and Eights played. I saw them close to 30 years ago up at the Derryfield School in Manchester. I didn't recognize a single person, LOL! Finishing up was Project Mess, dedicated to the memory of Chris Messier.

Many additional images will be posted in a gallery on www.markspixels.com

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is the most Hallmark of holidays, Valentine's Day. Your gift today is an image which I posted several years ago and which has showed up on a lot of italian blogs since. I think it is appropriate for today. Enjoy the day with your sweetie, and be sure to let your sweetie know how important s/he is to you. Hallmark holiday or not, every day is a good day to pursue love.
