Don't forget to wear purple this Saturday, support the cause and raise awareness for Epilepsy!

Purple Day is March 26th and is a worldwide campaign to help raise awareness for those who are affected by epilepsy. Don't forget to wear purple this Saturday, support the cause and raise awareness!

Almost 3 million people in the U.S. have some form of epilepsy. About 200,000 new cases of seizure disorders and epilepsy are diagnosed each year.

Epilepsy is a medical condition that produces seizures affecting a variety of mental and physical functions. It’s also called a seizure disorder. When a person has two or more unprovoked seizures, they are considered to have epilepsy.

A seizure happens when a brief, strong surge of electrical activity affects part or all of the brain. One in 10 adults will have a seizure sometime during their life.

Photo Shoot Featuring Body Paint Artwork

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the artwork of Rodney Burley. Rodney is just getting started in the art of body painting and if some of you happened to see a few of the images that were posted last week, you noticed that it is very hard to tell that his model was actually “wearing” paint.

Rodney, who is the owner of The Highlight Zone in Farmville is a self taught body paint artist. “I remember seeing stuff like that done before years ago and always wished I could do it too”, he said.
Body Painting, is a form of body art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours. Our model, Sue, was wearing painted on jeans that took Rodney about two hours to paint.

To date, Rodney has done lots of extreme face painting and several “body pieces”.

“I can do anything from simple eye make up all the way down to a head to toe living piece of art.
