It all started in the 1970’s with Dee Lippingwell’s LOVE of Pink Floyd and her desire to photographically record their concert for her own personal enjoyment. Turns out she had a knack for capturing that “je ne sais quoi” that every artist wants to portray, and every club owner wants to sell. She went on to shoot practically every Rock and Roll legend from the 70’s to the millennium using the required “first 3 songs and no flash” stipulation. Despite the excellence of her work, she was still a female photographer in a male dominated world. She had to get creative to help navigate the thin times, and her resourcefulness and sheer skill carried her to the top of her profession. She shares the thrill of seeing images emerge in her dark room … the music she had felt inside transcended to a photograph … as well as a few stories from the other side of the curtain. This show is a must watch, and Dee is a national treasure to be acknowledged and enjoyed!

Biracial model, actress, and self-proclaimed fear chaser, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe knows how to step out before the camera, and present in the industry of film. However, as the artistic, intelligent daughter of an English Professor, she knew she had more to say! Enter, Directing. Storytelling from behind the camera opened a whole new world of nuance, inspiration, the view from a female perspective, and the continued movement towards equality. How bad do you want it? You’re going to have to fight more than others. Death of ego is necessary to accept who you are or want to be, whether anyone acknowledges you or not. Don’t give up on yourself. Pull back and reset. Keep going. Shift Gears and do what it takes! It won’t matter who says ‘no’ now

Lainie Strouse learned that modelling success at age 13 was a happy introduction to financial success, but that it was also temporary. She learned to do everything she could with the best intentions, that there would be ups and downs, that you do what you can with what you’ve got. She learned flamenco dancing and serving tables. She learned problem solving, how to understand people, keep a calm head, keep ego out, and to make the best of every situation. These are skills one might need later! Now, as a celebrity event creator, she has learned to pause, listen, come from a respectful place, be adaptable & solution focused, and produce the dream result that her clients really want. Every client & every attendee is special. Do the best you can in every moment, don’t pretend to know everything, and ASK. Learning something is always good.
