Darla, oh Darla, how I love Darla...

For those of you who don't know the work of Darla Teagarden, you are in for a real treat. I am lucky enough to know her personally and have been a fan of her work for ages. Her photographs are a fairy tale - often macabre, more often delightful, that take one to another time and create a wonderful story. She makes me think of the gay, French artists who came about in the '70's, Pierre et Gilles, but on a more delicate and less homoerotic scale.

For a while now, Darla has said that she wanted to do a portrait of the twins and I am thrilled at what she'll come up with...so, I have been preparing the almost 5-year old, Credence & Zelda, for their photo shoot. They are indeed ready for their closeup, Miss Teagarden...
much more on this later...
