A conspiracy was hatched to have Aquila Phelps Gellman, Julia Ralston, and Emily Totten of South Fork High School pose for a heavy-metal promotional poster for a rock band – with parental consent, of course! In the cold damp winter of January 2007, all three sportingly agreed to pose, as if they were going to a summer metal concert in Europe. On an early winter Sunday morning inside Studio B at Redwood Community Radio – with the volunteer DJ's crowding the station like groupies – we did the do. I am certainly no photographer, but Emily's mother Gabriel is! Consequently, the battery of shots made available was so wonderful, it was exceedingly difficult to pick just one. Sadly, the band never got off the ground, and the poster became a computer file – until a month or so ago. Not so sadly, the poster has been released to the music community at large, and is on display at Wild Horse Records in Garberville California. It will be available for purchase throughout 2008, and all 2008 net proceeds from Project Poster will go to the participating students, to put towards their higher education (in whatever form that takes). Should this work out, we – MaidenHumboldt – will do it again, with another round of South Fork students, in 2009!
Up The Irons!
