Who Is
FrozenRhino Photography?
FrozenRhino Photography is the not quite so perfectly named partnership of Clint and Angie Weathers. Clint is the photographer and Angie works in various other media including printmaking and drawing. Since the partnership of Clint and Angie was recently formalized, the partnership of FrozenRhino Photography probably will be, too. We're just not sure when. Or how. All we know is that she's legally entitled to half of his vast empire of almost nothing and he's entitled to half of her pillows. Which means he pretty much wins on that deal.
So What's With All The Photos of Fat Women?
D00d. Didn't you read the other page? It's not that big women (call them fat, plus-size, voluptuous, curvy, whatever keeps you off the Prozac) are inherently beautiful because they're big -- that would be fetishizing them. And really -- if you fetishize something, then you no longer admire, adore and love the woman herself but that which you have fetishized. Which is kinda creepy, isn't it? And beautiful big women (as opposed to that Madison Avenue moniker of "big beautiful women" which is pretty much only used by big women with very low self esteem) aren't beautiful despite their being big. They're beautiful and they're big. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Clint has always liked curvier women, Angie happens to be a curvier woman, and to quote one of the great philosophers of the 20th Century, "I like big butts, and I cannot lie."
How Are You Taking These Photos?
99.999% of the photos we take lately are without a flash (or strobe, as some may call it) and are on film. We much prefer to use ambient light if we can. It's just part of our aesthetic, our style, our voice, our groove. Sometimes we use hotlights of various kinds -- we're particularly fond of those $1.99 aluminium dish lights from Home Depot. We do have some studio strobes and umbrellas and softboxes and radio triggers and all that good stuff. But really, we like ambient light. Maybe we slept through that class on using strobes in art school. Maybe we spent too much time in the Dutch section of the art museum as teenagers. But back to the question, we use 35mm for some stuff (a Nikon F5 and an old Ashai Spotmatic II P), 6x6 for some stuff (an old YashicaMat 124-G and a WWII-era Rolleicord III), and the occasional 6x7 (Bronica GS-1). For digital we use a Nikon digital setup -- D70 body and good lenses, since on a digital sensor the lenses have a much greater impact on image quality than the body.
Anything Else I Need To Know?
Yeah, a few things: Be good to people. Eat lots of vegetables. Don't be a douchebag when you're driving. There's a lot to be said for doing it oldschool, but embrace the technologies that enhance your life. Find someone you really love and let them know you really love them. Steely Dan is the greatest rock band ever. Drink more water. A good haircut is worth every penny you pay for it. There's a lot of women who work awful hard to look like Venus di Milo. And not nearly enough who love the fact that they look like Venus of Willendorf. Love who you are -- own it, but don't become a self-parody.
