“Origami Wheel” by Jeremy Rodgers
Our June cover came about because of an encounter with friends of friends who happened to have moved to Hot Springs and brought their Origami warehouse with them. The various papers are so vibrant and colorful and intricately made, I thought creating a collage with the paper would make an interesting cover for The Springs.
After a ring-ring here and a ring-ring there, and a text to our genius photographer, Jeremy Rogers, we had a date set to meet at the warehouse.
What I’d imagined would be a photo of hanging samples of origami, turned out to be an overhead shot and another ladder adventure for Jeremy. I heard a few mumbled “Honestly? JoAnn?’s” but then he bravely tackled the ladder and got to work on the photos. We had a lovely time with Beth, Carlo, and Rene, and all the exquisite papers. What you see is the result of several hours of adjusting, readjusting, shooting, and then onto Photoshop where Jeremy put his creativity to work.
Richard Stephens added his technical and artistic skills to laying out the design and here you have it. Another Springs Cover for the history books!
Thanks to Richard, Beth and Carlo for their time and a delicious lunch, and to Jeremy for his wicked eye for photography!
Happy June, everyone!
