Is it a coincidence that so many well known celebrities have names that are catchy!  Tiger Woods, Evil Kneivel, Sting, Joe Montana, River Phoenix, and Cher are names that are not easily forgotten.  So I am wondering what are your favorite model/photographer names of the people on this site?  As for me, I love Johnny Flamethrower....How could you forget that name!

I have to say my mentor and teacher Kevin Martini-Fuller and if you want to see his work you can go here..

Here's an article about him in the school newspaper:

Another article:

Some of his images:

He's taught me all I know and then some. He's an excellent photographer and just in case he ever sees his name in here....

We miss you! Congrats on the new marriage and you better come visit your students before we all graduate!

This thread is about names not who's work you like.  Who's name do you like....Not really sure Don Nelson and Tim Hughes would be unforgettable names!

Well, too bad my wife isn't on here.  She's got an unforgettable name:  Bunny Chafowitz.  (Her real last name is Chaffee and mine is Horowitz.) 

Someone earlier mentioned orangejello or something like that.  When I was a kid, I worked in a hospital.  This patient was admitted and her name was "Lima Bean."  Her brother -- I'm not making this up -- was "Boston Bean".  Guess his middle name?  (Seriously.  I'd kill my parents if I were him.) 

I don't know if anybody liked Lima...

Anyway, one of the names I like is Farrah Greye - and not just because I took pictures of her, either.  The original Farrah was blond, but this Farrah is more dark-haired (though more black than grey).  I like she spelling of her last name. 

Call me crazy, but other names I like are Ira Meyer, Vilayna Lasalle, Keni (a female model), Iona Lynn, Pixel Fisher (I know it's not real, but it sounds real!), Layne D'Angelo...

And so there I am in the middle of getting ready to post this when suddenly, somebody throws me a curveball.....

While she has no earthly idea that I think this, it's my humble opinion that Kim Melia von Seidl  -known to us mere mortals as KM von Seidl-  has the coolest name on the planet.  People like her can get away with requiring everyone to say the name fully each time they need to address her.




I've no idea how to actually pronounce her name, mind you.  But the way it looks written and the way it sounds in my head seems pretty hip...
