For Danny and his wife, Tina, their home away from the road near Wichita, KS, provides the same giddy expectation of the fantastic.
Only the setting isn't the flashing lights of a midway but a dramatic and inviting decor that lets the spirit soar. There's a huge 18-foot-high "horn" in the living room that houses a TV on a rotating steel drum. There's a funky home entertainment center downstairs that provides the illusion of objects whirling in the air. There's a huge see-through aquarium, whole-house music and more. Just like at a carnival, anything here seems possible.
"When I come home after closing the carnival on Halloween, it's a great place to relax," Danny says. "It's something I really look forward to."
Designing this kind of contemporary house in Kansas wasn't as simple as finding someone down the street to do it. In addition, an interior designer, custom electronics installer and cabinetmaker had to communicate closely to meet the Ottaways' needs for both home entertainment and a totally unique decor. The results, needless to say, are innovative and fun, and they make Danny and Tina feel higher than any Ferris wheel.
Going Modern
When the Ottaways decided to build a new house outside of Wichita, the couple had a few things in mind. First, the house would have to be a great respite to come home to after being on the road for months at a time. And after living in a traditional-style house, they wanted something contemporary. "Our old home had lots of dark oak, and we decided to lighten things up," Danny explains. "So in our new house, all the baseboards and all the doors are light maple. And there's no hardware on the fronts of the kitchen cabinets … The house is different enough. I don't think it's something we'll get tired of."
Like most great things in life, the house design resulted from some serendipitous events. "My wife and I really love modern design, but there was nothing in our area that offered that," Danny says. "We were in the Fort Lauderdale area in Florida, so we went to a design center. We were talking to a woman at the store about our problem, and she said she'd like for us to meet someone who happened to be right there."
The person was Orlando Airas, a Miami-based interior designer with a modern flair for the dramatic. He sensed exactly what the Ottaways needed—and that started with a contemporary makeover. "When we hired him, the house was already framed," says Danny. "The exterior of the house is a traditional stone, but we wanted to make the interior modern looking.
Without him, we would have come up with a very ordinary home. And that's not us." A focal point Airas designed was the huge horn that extends from the floor of the room all the way to the ceiling of the second story in a beautiful quilted maple. "This was [one of] the first things he came up with, and when we saw the designs for it, we were just thrilled," says Danny.
This is also where local custom electronics designer John Lee of A Plus Electronics in Wichita came in. Lee would have to install electronics for the living room and a whole-house audio system into a hidden equipment cabinet in the bottom of the horn, plus work a 34-inch TV into a drum of brushed steel. Further, the drum rotates so the same TV can be viewed in the kitchen behind the wall. "We knew when we were building the house that we wanted a good picture and sound and television, and we wanted something really unique," says Danny.
Interior designer Airas' idea for the horn was inspired by the funnel shape of the tornadoes that often visit Kansas. "They wanted TVs in the living room and the breakfast area [in the adjacent kitchen], and instead of spending money on a TV here and a TV there, I said, 'Let's just give you one kick-### wall unit,'" the designer explains.
Local cabinetmaker Clotia Wood & Metal Works of Wichita was hired to construct the horn, and Lee worked closely with them on some issues many custom electronics pros never face. The rotating drum itself weighs more than 350 pounds and turns on large bearings like a lazy Susan. "We had to work very carefully with the company that built [the horn] to get the right size and make sure wires to the TVs could go up through the drum and not be twisted when it's turned," Lee says.
"The biggest challenge was the cabinet where the equipment resides." It houses the audio/video receiver, DVD player and high-definition satellite receiver for the great room, in addition to a whole-house music system. It's cleverly concealed in the horn beneath the TV with doors that open at an angle (the left door opens upward, and the right door opens downward). "We had to have wires to pass from one area to another easily and be sure we had proper air flow," Lee explains.
In-ceiling speakers deliver the sound to the living room and the kitchen behind it. But there are only two speakers in each room, because believe it or not, this isn't the main entertainment system or the most mind-bendingly modern and different one.
Cyclone of Whimsy
Downstairs in an entertainment room is a complete home theater system that features a 65-inch TV, MartinLogan on-wall speakers, a B&K surround-sound receiver and a high-definition satellite receiver, but with a modern twist—quite literally.
Almost all of the electronics, including the TV, are invisible when you enter the room. They are concealed inside a cabinet/console that nearly defies description. A sleek black facade rises a few feet from a recessed base, and from there, steel poles support shelves of curved glass that seem to float in the air. The unit happens to sit right below the giant horn in the living room, so Airas designed the console to appear as a floating cabinet with glass and other objects spinning around, as if you were looking at a tornado and its spinning objects up close.
Most of the audio and video gear is concealed behind the front of the unit and is accessible from the rear, but Airas had no intention of hiding the MartinLogan hybrid electrostatic speakers mounted on the wall behind. "A lot of times the audio equipment is ugly," he admits. "But those are beautiful speakers. I wanted to show them off." Meanwhile, RBH surround speakers are tucked into the wall, and a MartinLogan subwoofer is positioned in the corner. When Danny and Tina are ready to view a show, a 65-inch Toshiba high-definition rear projection television swings out on a base from one side.
The walls are varied shades of rich blue, and the seating area rests on a colorful carpet. "It's very relaxing to sit there and watch movies," says Danny. "I wasn't interested in having a room with theater seating; I was interested in having something much more casual."
All this, combined with the wild entertainment cabinet, provides an atmosphere that is fun and imaginative.
More Fun In the master bedroom off the living room is a smaller system with a 34-inch Panasonic direct-view TV and satellite receiver, DVD player and VCR recessed into the wall over a fireplace. In-ceiling speakers provide stereo sound. The look here, however, accented by stainless steel, is more subdued.
In all, there are about 13 zones of audio distributed throughout the house, so the Ottaways can listen to any of their music anywhere. Another great feature is a large aquarium that sits kitty-corner between the living room's big horn and its fireplace. Danny says he loves to sit in his office and look right out through the aquarium at the living room, the horn and the kitchen beyond.
With their horn of plenty in the living room, the contemporary and whimsical entertainment cabinet downstairs and contemporary decor throughout, the Ottaways have the modern and entertaining home they were seeking. In the words of carnival owner Danny Ottaway, what better way to put a smile on his face.
Cabinet of Plenty
How do you build an audio and video cabinet that's 23 feet long with a rotating drum to display one TV in two different rooms? First, go to an extremely capable cabinetmaker, and then let that company spend about 500 hours over three to four months to construct it.
After interior designer Orlando Airas came up with the design for the giant "horn" in Danny and Tina Ottaway's living room, Clotia Wood & Metal Works of Wichita, KS, was charged with building the creation—and did it all in one piece! First, the company built a mock-up wall of that room from floor to ceiling and constructed plywood panels to make a hollow box. Then they glued a large sheet of quilted maple veneer onto the plywood. That made the horn itself one very large piece.
The company also built a wooden frame for the rotating drum, covered it in steel and welded it. The drum sits on ball bearings to create what Phillip Baumer of Clotia describes as a "super lazy Susan." Clotia worked closely with electronics designer John Lee of A Plus Electronics in Wichita to ensure that the wiring to the TVs would not be snagged or twisted when the drum turned. The two companies also worked together on the hidden equipment cabinet in the base of the horn to ensure there would be enough room to store the electronics as well as ample ventilation.
In all, it took 16 workers to get the one-piece horn off the truck. Once the horn was inside, a boat winch was used to lift it into place—and it fit perfectly. The rotating drum and shelves were added once the horn was securely in place. Clotia also constructed the unique entertainment cabinet in the Ottaways' downstairs theater. A 65-inch rear-projection TV swivels out from the side of that cabinet, so the cabinetmaker and electronics designer had to create a system that allowed the wires to the TV to flow untangled in a track and extend when the TV swiveled out, then retract when placed back.

Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is surgery to decrease the size of your stomach.
This surgery involves re-shaping the stomach to reduce the amount of food it can hold.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Body mass index
(BMI) is used to determine if a person is
or obese. A normal BMI is 18.5 to 25. This surgery is an option for people with:
If lifestyle changes are made, the benefits of VSG include:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Long-term complications include vomiting and developing
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
You may have the following:
Prior to the procedure:
Before the procedure:
General anesthesia
will be given through an IV. It will block pain and keep you asleep through surgery.
An IV line will be placed in your arm to give you fluid and medications. A breathing tube will be placed through your mouth and into your throat. This will help you breathe during surgery. You will also have a catheter placed in your bladder to drain urine.
Several small cuts will be made in your abdomen. Gas will be pumped in to inflate your abdomen, making it easier for the doctor to see. A laparoscope and surgical tools will be inserted through the incisions. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted tool with a tiny camera. It sends images of your abdominal cavity to a monitor. Your doctor will operate while viewing the monitor.
Surgical staples will be used to divide the stomach vertically. The new stomach will be the shape of a slim banana. The rest of the stomach will be removed. Your new stomach can hold 50-150 mL (milliliters) of food—about 10% of what a normal adult stomach can hold. Incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.
In some cases, the doctor may need to switch to open surgery.
The breathing tube and catheter will be removed.
About two hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 2-3 days.

It's a bit Princess Leia and a bit milk maid meets Heidi but in true Diane Kruger style, it's already started tongues wagging for yet another beauty statement that is set to be a big trend. Stepping out in Lanvin to light the Christmas lights in Paris, Diane looked every inch the Hollywood siren. We thought that we would grab five minutes with Adam Reed, hairstylist and the man behind that infamous fishtail plait that Diane rocked on the red carpet in Cannes, to tell us about Diane's latest hair triumph.
"Diane's hair looks simple and beautiful and that's why it works as her Lanvin outfit has a strength to it so this braided style softens teh overall look without looking messy. It's clean and simple but still pretty and Diane does a plait so well, it's a variation on a theme that works for her (Adam created the fishtail plait on Diane in 2009)"
"Plaits are the most simple style to create but because it's a plait, it makes hair look detailed and gives a bold,strong statement"
How To Get The Diane Kruger Milk Maid Braid:
1. "The key to making this look strong and on trend, Centre parting will make look strong and on trend so pull your hair into a centre parting then..
2. Secure your hair into two low ponytail, either side at the nape of your neck.
3. Braid the ponytails and then wrap the plaits around into a bun and secure with Goody's hair grips
4. If you have long enough hair, split one of the ponytail braids to make the halo braid, make an arch shape, pull the braid over the top and then tuck in behind the buns and secure using Goody's mini bobby pins
5. Cheat with a faux halo braid if your hair is too short. The Hersheson's Chunky Braided Headband is perfect.
6. Finish with Percy and Reed's Finishing Polish to tame any fly aways and you can also use a bit on your fingers whilst you're braiding to keep everything really nice and secure."

Remember that mega Mitsubishi DLP we told you about in January? The company has released new details on it and the rest of the company's big screen lineup for 2011.
Oh, and that news earlier this month about Mitsubishi exiting the small TV business (small here means less than 65-inches. Well, here's the proof. The new lineup, all 3D DLP, starts with a 73-inch 640 series model for $1,599 making it, one of the best dollar-per-inch values in the market.
The 740 series includes 73- and 82-inch models with 3D, streaming media features and available iPod/iPad apps for control. Those models will sell for $2,099 and $3,499 respectively.
Moving into the Diamond 840 series, we find the supersized 92-inch model, which Mitsubishi calls the Home Cinema TV, about the size of four 46-inch TVs. The 840s include integrated 16 speaker IST systems (immersive sound technology) or you can take advantage of the center channel mode and use your own speakers for the remaining channels. Integrated Bluetooth lets you play your iPod music through the TV. The series includes ISFccc mode for professional calibration. The 840 models begin at $2,599 for a 73-inch model up to $5,999 for the 92-inch version.
Finally, Mitsubishi's latest LaserVue DLP TV comes in at 75-inches and includes a new screen to improve contrast. This model includes a 120Hz film mode, built-in Wi-Fi, an assortment of streaming media services including VUDU and ISFccc. The price on that model is $5,999.
Mitsubishi is the only major manufacturer still actively marketing DLP TVs. Clearly, most consumers prefer the wall-hugging appearance of flat-panel TVs, particularly the super-slim LED LCD TVs, but there's a lot to be said for rear projection DLP TV, and BIG is one of those things. While the 92-inch model is 25-inches deep, nothing other than a front projector and a screen can come close to that price. The TVs are good for places were space isn't much of an issue, but size matters, like in a basement remodel, in fact, like in my basement remodel.
The company's Unisen LCD TVs are still on the manufacturer's web site, but probably not for much longer.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Customer questions about this product
- Should I buy glass racks that match the diameter of my glasses, or should I buy the next size up?
- Since glassware can have slight size variances, it is a good idea to buy glass racks with compartments slightly larger than the maximum diameter of the glasses.
- Do I need to purchase extenders to go with this rack?
- To achieve the correct height, these racks may use extenders that attach to the top surface of the rack. All extenders necessary to reach the specified height are included with each rack; however, if you would like to purchase additional extenders, please refer to the Companion Items on this page.

It's… Tami, from Oh, For Pete's Sake! Tami said she would share her ultimate brownie sundae with Australian chef Curtis Stone. I hope he likes brownies! Tami, I will contact you via e-mail so we can arrange shipment of your brownies. Congratulations!
Want to know who I would share an ultimate brownie sundae with? John Ritter (from his Three's Company Days) and Rick Moranis (from his Ghostbuster days). We would only need one spoon though :)
Thanks for all the brownie enthusiasm everybody! I hope to have another giveaway in 2011.

A company identified only as "M" in a China news story owes $137 million for back taxes, according to a report.
Come 2015, Ireland plans to start doing away with the "Double Irish" tax structure, which has allowed companies like Apple, Google and Facebook to shelter billion of dollars in profits from taxes.
The factory, which was not included in Microsoft's acquisition deal due to ongoing tax issues with the Indian government, is the last production facility in operation at Nokia.
European Union officials contend that a Luxembourg ruling from 2003 could represent an improper tax shelter and thus require Amazon to pay back taxes.
Major international companies such as Apple and Google could soon have their accounts put under the microscope in Australia as part of a crackdown on corporate tax avoidance.
The European Commission's competition regulator says something looks fishy in "selective" treatment of Apple by Irish authorities, and he wants answers.
European investigators are set to accuse Apple of receiving "illegal state aid" in Ireland for more than 20 years.
After hammering out details with city regulators for months, the peer-to-peer home rental service will start charging guests hotel taxes on October 1.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan still has it in for the site, after it was used to spread information critical of him and after a Turkish court ruling led to a ban being lifted.
The company is able to save boatloads of cash in taxes each year by funneling money to its Irish subsidiary. And now the EU wants to dig deeper into that practice.

Turn the hunter into a healer
Arms though. Prot doesn't have the burst needed in a 2's team. 2 DPS burst will suit you better.
Hi there! I just started a new arena team (2v2) with a Hunter (marksmanship), I´ve been alternating my 2 specs (Protection and Arms) with nice results with both at low levels (rating 900-1000) at this point we must make a decision and I need the experts advice, wich spec should I go to optimize our team?
Thanks in advance.

killing faster means sleeping more - Thedom
I would recommend titan grip fury. I do a lot more burst damage with that spec. I'd assume that you guys have to immediately kill someone with that makeup otherwise your hunter will get hugged and rocked if the other team knows what it is doing. With proper gear a titan warrior can kill a 3k resil pali in under five seconds.
Doing this myself with my 2v2, I find myself a lot more useful as Arms to be honest.
I tried Fury TG and I just..didn't like the feel of it. And if you run into smart teams, it's bye bye enrage, oh noes no more Raging Blow!
We run MM Hunter/Arms Warrior. Doing what i normally do for my points, we've gone 5-3 our best so far but this is with me just starting PvP business honestly. Better individuals will probably have a lot better now.

I'd say in 2's you'd need the burst from Arms because with a hunter you'll need to take down the opposition pretty quickly or else, if you come up against a team with half a clue, you'll find yourself 1 v 2 very quickly. Hunters are pretty weak in arena at the moment (can't remember their representation in the upper ratings but I do remember it seemed disproportionally low). With your makeup, in most cases, you'll win via burst. Playing a hunter in arena again recently I found that starting out I'd often be able to sit up the back and do my thing, but as soon as you came up against anyone with half a clue I'd get focused pretty hard.
<< Arcane Shots >>
I don't know if this is the best Combo but i should try arms and fury, prot is not a usefull spec anymore since cata release, especially not against mages or any other ranged because it's hard to get rage.
If I were you, I would go with arms. From my experience in cata PvP, they do some pretty good damage in battlegrounds and arenas ^.^

quilt market recap - the finale
quilt market - getting there
schoolhouse sessions
the booths - 1
the booths - 2
the booths - 3
the booths - 4
the booths - 5
Lucie and I weren't leaving Houston until Monday evening, so we helped Sarah pull down her booth before we set off. Pull down is manic - everyone is so eager to get out and get out fast. It's also really sad, because once market is over and we all go home I know I won't get to see so many of the people I've spent the year looking forward to seeing. It felt a bit weird driving home from the airport on my own.
Market is mostly amazing because of this lot...
and this big guy. He's like my big brother - quiet, dependable, always there when I need him. I'm like his scrappy little sister - don't mess with my big brother, I'll fly at you like an angry chihuahua. He left a day earlier than the rest of us. It felt a bit flat after that, like something was missing (it was).
I rarely go out when I'm home, I'm so not a big party girl. Give me a pot of tea and a night in front of the TV with the husbeast and childerbeasts and I'm a happy girl. Quilt Market is the one time of the year (two times? I guess....) that I'll go out and stay out late and be in bed way beyond my bedtime. Although some of the best times from this trip were when my two roomies and I woke up way too early and sat chatting for a couple of hours in bed. The first night of the show opening (Friday for Spring, Saturday for Fall) is the busiest. We had invites to 5 parties that were all at around the same time. There's a lot of running between venues to show your face before you get a chance to sit and chill out somewhere.
For those of you that asked how you get to Quilt Market, well, it's a trade show so isn't open to the general public. I get in on a Fat Quarterly media pass, so I don't do the 'regular' entry forms. You need to present credentials which is basically business cards and the like. Honestly, there are always plenty of people that go that technically shouldn't so if you really want to go, you'll find a way. I guess that's the best advice I can give.
Should we talk about free stuff?
There are a few prizes, which I'll split into 4 different bundles, so there'll be 4 prizewinners.
A FQ stack of (not out yet) Stockholm by Robin Zingone for Kaufman.
6 mini charm packs of new fabrics by Moda and Robert Kaufman
2 patterns from Thomas Knauer, a pattern from Patty Young, a summersville needlebook, drinks coasters from DryGoods Design, a little pocket pal sewing kit from Lotta Jansdotter, a pin cushion stitchery kit from Lynette Anderson all popped into a Moda Bake shop tote that I pinched from Lu and contained the snacks Moda give their designers (to keep them from passing out on the booths).
Sewing for boys - the fabulous book by Shelly and Karen published by Wiley books
Leave a comment for your chance to win - spread the word!!!! (or don't if you want a better chance of winning!)
The smallprint -
the giveaway will stay open for a full week from today (until Wednesday 16th November)
Leave a comment on THIS POST for a chance to enter. Please make sure you leave a contact email either in your profile or in the comment itself, if I can't contact you I'll disqualify you (sorry). One entry per person.
First name picked by random number generator has the first choice of prizes, second name picked gets 2nd choice, and so on.
I can't be responsible for prizes that go missing in the post, and depending on the cost I'll try and send packages by registered mail just in case.

I have loved reading every single one of these posts and I have a sort of warm fuzzy feeling that one day I'm going to be sitting in one of those photos - and people are going to see the photo and gasp and say - we didn't know you took a supermodel with you. And I'll say, you silly old things, that's just me, little old Lily Lynne from Lincolnshire. OK it's derbyshire but Lincolnshire sounds better in that sentence. By the way , if I win the giveaway, can I have not one of the prizes listed above but a £1 dog bowl from Wilko.

In fact, thank you for making your blog, MY market away from market.

A popular Broadway musical is drawing sellout crowds to downtown Omaha, but there was a surprise ending for some fans after leaving the show.
It's not the actors, but some Billy Elliot fans who are getting the hook. "Three or four other couples on their phones looking around for their car as I was mine," said Kathy Bruneteau.
Near the Orpheum Theater, there's no parking except for detective cars around Omaha Central Police Headquarters, but it's clear the signs aren't clear for numerous other motorists and tow trucks were on patrol.
"They were fast and furious hauling cars away last night," said Greg Smith, whose car is in the impound lot for the weekend. Some vehicle owners came to city impound on Saturday to pay the tow fee and get their vehicle back, only to see it closed at 5 p.m. and won't reopen until Monday. Come Monday, Smith will have to pay tow and storage fees.
"If there's that many people getting towed in one night and apparently it happened earlier in the week as well, then there's a signage problem," said Smith.
For Saturday's matinee, several cars were parked around the cop shop that weren't police vehicles, like a Cadillac from Columbus. Fact Finders warned another motorist. "Now that I see it I guess it makes more sense, but I don't know if it's just those two cars or all the way up and down, it's confusing," said Julie Theulen.
Confused drivers say no-parking arrows don't indicate the whole block and the back-in signs distract their attention. "Why do policemen even need a back-in angle sign?" asked Bruneteau. Our warning kept one car owner off the hook. "Thank you very much," said Theulen.
Though one vehicle owner says a tow driver told him 18 vehicles got impounded Friday night, the exact number won't be known until Monday. Omaha Police Lt. Darci Teirney tells Fact Finders that illegal parking around police headquarters is an ongoing problem during Orpheum Theater events and signs will be looked at to see if they need to be made clearer. She says the impound lot staff will provide paperwork for vehicle owners who want to appeal a tow away.

Café Boulud Palm Beach
Online Reservations
The Ballroom is designed with the feel of the dining room from a splendid Palm Beach home. The room is graced with a stained glass ceiling window, three arched French doors in-laid with aged mercury glass. Custom mahogany corner cabinets blend gracefully with the crown detailing contributing to the elegant private villa ambiance. The overall feel is an interplay of elegance and simplicity resulting in an intimate ballroom with a fresh and understated approach.
The Conservatory is an extension of the restaurant's terrace. Arched glass doors bring the garden indoors to this sunny, airy, setting. As in The Ballroom, warm shades of gold and camel prevail.

Toshiba beat the starting gun at this year's CES by announcing the company's new TV lineup the evening before the official press day, and their 2013 offerings are an impressive start for the new year. The main attention grabber was the Ultra HD (4K) TV series.
Toshiba will be offering three Ultra HD models in the L9300 series in 58-, 65- and 84-inch sizes. All are edge-let LED LCDs with local dimming and a CEVO4K processor. Toshiba's Scott Ramirez described the processor as Quad+Dual.
All three 4K models are passive 3D and do 2D-to-3D conversion. They include a ClearScan 240Hz refresh rate and a CQ Engine which offers advanced picture quality controls.
Toshiba's Ultra HD TVs will be available around June this year, but pricing was not announced.
In addition to the 4K TVs, Toshiba is launching a new Cloud TV platform, which they describe as going beyond mere streaming apps on a TV. Ramirez noted that Toshiba's theme for Cloud TV is "a better user experience," and the new platform includes an enhanced multi-page on-screen interface, peer-to-peer sharing via Miracast and WiDi, a family calendar, photo album, personal messaging, social integration, media guide, tablet interactive gaming and high-quality cloud-based gaming. Cloud TV will be available on Toshiba's top tier models, including the ultra-slim LED line and the Ultra HD line.
The new TVs will be matched with a line of new Blu-ray players, including one model that features 4K upconversion (model BDX6400) and Cloud TV integration.
The glasses-free 3D TV that Toshiba had shown on two previous occasions at CES was not mentioned and apparently is not part of the company's current plan.

This was the first and only time I worked with Michael Jackson. We were booked for a two-day shoot for the Invincible album cover and some inside photos. The shooting was divided into one day of portraits and one day of dance shots at my studio in New York.
I already owned a mirror rig that allowed me to adjust eight mirrors individually. And, of course, before Michael arrived, the mirrors and lighting were completely prepared on the set. To give Michael more flexibility (and to add a little fun) I gave him what was essentially a stripper's pole on a white Plexi stage. When he arrived on the set, Michael spent two or three minutes stretching and then started dancing in front of the mirrors to "Billie Jean," which we played over the studio stereo system. Because of the set-up and the preparation, it was hard not to get some magical shots in almost every frame during the roughly 30 minutes he danced in front of the camera. This was Michael Jackson dancing, after all. How could you go wrong?
I found Michael charming, cooperative, totally professional, and a pleasure to deal with. The shooting was actually quite easy. After seeing the contact sheets from the shoot, the final print was essentially one gigantic contact sheet. From far away, the print looks almost like a piece of wallpaper, but close up, it gives you a very good idea of the entire shooting, and the charisma and power of Michael's dancing."

Michael Jackson - Invincible Shoot
I was a client of Arnell Group and, of course, worked closely with the famous (or infamous depending on your view) Peter Arnell. I must say I found him an amazing character, never boring and, always engaging and creative. Of course, I was the client. Years later, he mentioned in passing the agency's involvement in the Invincible project -- he knew I admired and respected Mr. Jackson -- though always scrupulous about client confidentiality. I did not know at the time that you were the photographer. I was so impressed and, of course, the final cover is now iconic.

Thank you for sharing your
Thank you for sharing your experience, Mr. Watson. Sounds like you realize what an amazing privilege it was to be a closehand witness of Michael Jackson dancing to Billie Jean.
