SPRINGING FORWARD AND OTHER FALLBACKS Women From Space Musical Playgrounds The Virtues of Necessity Teaching Up Close & Impersonal When SHHH!! means “Listen!” … and more PHOTO: ALAN DEAN Volume 26 No 6 | March 20 – May 7, 2021 For our SHHHuffle programme – we wanted something fun and playful, that SHHHuffled up the typical musician photo shoot. — Zac Pulak If you can equate photography with music then approaching images like this one are as free as a contemporary jazz solo. Zac and Edana are always willing to let go, to experiment, to have fun, and be free. If anything motivates a photoshoot like this it’s a healthy dose of laughter, and sharing a zany experience. At any moment we play just like children would and we are only limited by our imagination and surroundings. These mallets make the perfect toys to play air percussion!
