When digital artist/professional photographer Dan Wampler wrote and said he was planning to take a few pics of his favorite hat (that is, an original Real Deal Brazil recycled-tarp hat!) with a model or two (that is, a couple purty ladies!), we liked everything about the idea (that is, we were like, hey, yeah, you go, dude!). We just didn't realize that our hat might, at times, be near about the only thing separating his models from being whatcha call, well ... wearing next to nothing besides our hat!
A couple of the artful pics Dan sent us were so, well, whew!, that we simply couldn't share them here. Sorry. You'll just have to trust us that our hat looked fierce, whenever we could remember to look at our hat.
That said, here's several more of Dan's RDB-inspired shots. Some are sassy.
Some are sexy.
Some are damn sexy.
And some are a lot damn sexier still.
Based in St. Louis, Dan mostly does infrared photography (http://danwampler.zenfolio.com/). He's actually the Official Prilosec OTC Infrared Photographer (no joke; the "purple pill" has an official infrared photographer).
This next shot, while really showing off the infrared, has nothing to do with that!
Also, some of Dan's images are included in a free Mac-device App called "Isla at Your Fingertips” (http://islaapps.com/fingertips/), which has, he says, more than 9,000 downloads from 47 countries. He's now working on a new app, to be called “Caribbean at Your Fingertips,” which will feature his photography exclusively.
So Dan travels quite a bit.
"And I have my standard wardrobe, which includes my 'Cool Hat,' your tarp hat," he noted in one of his e-mails to us. "I got it as a gift a couple of years ago, and I love it. It is the perfect travel hat and has saved my hide quite literally in areas where the sun is strong."
Our thanks, Dan, for the great vote of confidence, and for this extended glimpse into your vividly colored world.
