I wanted to create images that would give Jordan a different edge, and yet reflect both where he’s coming from and where he’s going.  We had a ton of fun playing around in Greenlake and on First Hill, and apart from a very sad story about a bashed-up $4k guitar (!) it was a hugely successful day.  Special thanks to Christine, Jordan’s super-star wife, stylist and all-around fun lady for her help.  Go check out Jordan’s music via his website (coming very soon now that he has some photos!) or on the Striking Back MySpace page.
