Local photographer Anne Lindsay, whose photos have been published in two books to date, is in search of every variety of natural redheads for her upcoming book, Redheads and More Redheads.<br />
<br />
<br />
In her research for her upcoming book, Lindsay has become an expert on the subject. Lindsay will share the history of how redheads were once considered witches and burned at the stake and debunk the myth that redheads are going extinct, etc.<br />
<br />
Lindsay will host this redhead gathering, which will include a slide show presentation, a photo exhibit and discussion about the broad range of redheads as well as a talk on how to pursue ideas for books.<br />
<br />
If you are redheaded or know someone who is and would like to be photographed, interviewed, and possibly featured in Lindsay’s book, she wants to hear from you.<br />

Allow me to introduce myself. I am the ugly redheaded step cousin of the infamous Cousin Itt. But ugly no more!! I am finally being appreciated for my long luscious locks…a gorgeous mane of redness once thought to be associated with the devil himself. I admit, I am no angel, but to be overlooked for so many years while my cousin reaped success…for what? That mousy brown mane? People, come on. What were they thinking????<br />
<br />
I’ll never forget that fateful day in front of the casting director. I brushed and brushed and brushed, hoping my red locks would outshine my cousin’s dreary mane. The director touched my hair. I knew he felt the silkiness and texture that can only be describe as al dente. Then he slowly moved over to my cousin and performed the same test. Then came the whispers. “It will overpower the scenes. We’ll have to be careful with the lighting.” I don’t remember exactly what happened next but I began to run, not even bothering to pick up my hair…something I’ve done naturally since birth. I ran and tripped and ran and tripped and ran and tripped until… I woke up in a very comfortable white jacket, hugging myself as I laid in a narrow bed surrounded by padded walls. I had no recollection of what happened to me after my last tumble. A TV was hanging from a wall above me. I looked up and saw my cousin on TV. I closed my eyes and told myself my day would come.<br />
<br />
Years later, as fate would have it, there was a wonderful lady name Anne who also lived in one of the rooms down the hall. She had a knack with the camera and let’s just say, the rest is history.<br />

When I was on the delivery table, I was just happy to be having him. But what I didn’t expect was what the doctor told us. “Wow, we’ve not seen this in a long time. If I didn’t pull him out of you, I wouldn’t think he was yours." It was awesome because he had a full mane of red hair. He looked like a doll. He did. He was a beautiful baby. <br />
<br />
<br />
We love the attention we get when we take Mathew out in public. People are always coming up to us asking where he got his red hair. I am from Panama, Latin America and I was born and raised there. My dad and mom were both born and raised there, too. There is a mix between black, Native American and then there is Irish and Spanish. My grandmother looked almost Philippine and my dad looks Indian from India. Yet, my aunt is a redhead with brown and red mixed together. So, we really have a mixed family. There are blondes, dark hair and black eyes and dark skin. From my mom’s side of the family, they are all Spanish. My grandfather was very tall and blonde with blue eyes. My grandmother was very short and dark Spaniard. <br />
<br />
So obviously, you don’t need two redheads to come up with a redhead. <br />

Before my generation there are no redheads on either side of my family for 3 generations back. But when a redhead does show up in my family tree it is certainly noteworthy. <br />
<br />
My very Irish-identified grandfather had many fond memories of his redheaded grandmother.<br />
<br />
When his first grandchild by blood was expected he announced very clearly that he expected a redheaded granddaughter. Now this was a much easier task for my aunt and uncle to meet being as my uncle was a fiery redhead himself. The chances were pretty good that my grandfather would get his wish. But one should be careful just how strongly a wish is stated.<br />
<br />
My cousin Judy was indeed born with a classic carrot-top shade of red hair and the entire attitude to go along with it. About the time she was 4 years old, my parents were getting married. This made Judy the perfect candidate for flower-girl at their wedding. She was completely adorable right up to the point when my parents were about to say their vows. Just then, she threw herself to the floor in front of the altar and proceeded to demonstrate the characteristic temperamental wrath of a redhead. The family has long since forgotten the tantrum, but everyone knows what my father whispered to my mother at the beginning of their vows.<br />
<br />
"If we have a redheaded child, I'm drowning it at birth."<br />
<br />
A few years later, out I popped with golden red locks. Thankfully Judy's hair was a much darker red than mine so I was spared the drowning on the grounds that I was not in fact a redhead, but a strawberry blond. But everyone (especially my grandfather) knew that I was every bit a redhead.<br />
<br />
16 years later, there was one more grandchild born in my generation while my grandfather was alive. She was yet another redhead born to parents about as likely to have one as mine were. My grandfather was a preacher for most of his adult life and to this day my family still ponders what strings he pulled with God to get 3 redheaded granddaughters.<br />
<br />
Note from Anne: Thank you, Amy, for being a Red Friend. Amy is a 32 year old redhead from Seattle. <br />

<br />
It’s easy to become a Red Friend. Just send Anne a story about something related to being a redhead, humor is good. If you’re a redhead or ever have been a redhead, think of something from your past that happened to you solely because you were a redhead. Tell us where you live. Keep your stories to no more than three paragraphs, between 250-400 words in length.<br />
<br />
If you’re not a redhead, think about what it would be like to be a redhead, or what life is like living with a redhead or being friends of a redhead. <br />
<br />
If you are not the redhead being talked about in your story and the photo, then add an “About the Author” paragraph that tells us a little bit about yourself and where you live; feel free to include a link to your web page or blog. <br />
<br />
Tell me who created the photo to be posted. If it was you, let me know. If it was a professional photographer, please tell me their name and website. <br />
<br />
Send your completed narrative and photo to Anne Lindsay at anne@annelindsayphotography, and then watch to see your story on Anne’s website and blog.<br />

<div>I am a 31 year old Northwest redhead through and through. I was born in Auburn, Washington which is just south of Seattle. I’ve always thought that was rather funny living in Auburn especially since I have red hair. I went to Green River Community College and the graduated from the University of Washington as a Civil Engineer.<br />
<br />
I am now a mother of my cute little Olivia. She has red hair just like me, my mother, father and sister. In fact, my whole family is sprinkled with redheads. So when Olivia came along she was not a surprise. Fortunately, being a redhead in my family was very reassuring.<br />
<br />
However, being a part of a redheaded family was not necessarily up my husband’s alley. We met through a friend who showed him my photograph and he said “No, I’m not into redheads”. I guess he changed his mind once we met. We’ve been married for 5 years and when I was pregnant with Olivia, he announced to me “I don’t want to have a redheaded, curly haired son”. I was a little surprised with this announcement. He has curly hair and has never really liked it. So he packaged the two together assuming that having a son with all these attributes would be awful.<br />
<br />
Right before we were due with Olivia, we went to a party and low and behold, a little curly, redheaded boy latched onto my husband. He was enamored by the little boy. He then realized that having a healthy child was the most important thing. Our first child is Olivia and she has straight, red hair just like me. I’m kind of hoping we’ll have a curly, redheaded boy next time. But don’t tell my husband. </div>Anne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269900684844843540.post-27036254634218327642010-03-26T10:33:00.000-07:002010-03-26T16:26:14.677-07:00Redhead #6 - I got my red hair from my Grandma!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTx_nUngYU7njl7dlyX6fqnTlGM_qpyKjwHvzQh143C7ugZQrBTHrEXd012KT9VHSyQQh9vpbA14_oCcTIeBa-IAWa-W8UnkgQoIVOZd27oWcjPZ7gPcvwHiUkg2JnSQB43Php5rpYPts/s1600/DSC_7073-2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 259px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452998119362972450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTx_nUngYU7njl7dlyX6fqnTlGM_qpyKjwHvzQh143C7ugZQrBTHrEXd012KT9VHSyQQh9vpbA14_oCcTIeBa-IAWa-W8UnkgQoIVOZd27oWcjPZ7gPcvwHiUkg2JnSQB43Php5rpYPts/s400/DSC_7073-2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxcmo1sYtysJqnR10JQNpiqsQ0-Y8uLcJ_fI8f38CbBr4PIs7GEcD8_mTOLWRrq6D7qLyxW4EbpW98jnf7PcFMMyb4eRJR2EbfbiRiaXYeBdFiRPuspu8E3PdmRKPvv6wyE3_b5nTq8M/s1600/DSC_7073-2.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><div>It seems that when you are a little redhead, adults like to comment on your hair. Actually it happens at almost any age. When Maren was little, people would ask her “Where did you get your red hair?” Needless to say, you ask any child that question; the answer will be spontaneous and off the cuff.<br />Maren would thank that questioner or she would reply that “I got it from my Grandma!” Usually parents help their little red locks with an answer. It makes it easier for the child to answer such a tough and persistent question. Some little redheads like Maren, are perturbed being called “Redhead”. That is such a silly designation. Don’t you know, “I have orange hair”? In fact, that is the name Maren's friends call her “My orange head friend”.<br />Maren also reported she was called “Carrot top” in the second grade. She was perplexed at that name at that time in her life. At 12, she said she’d look at the questioner and proclaim, “Carrot tops are Green”.<br />So if you meet a person with red hair, don’t bother asking those silly questions or call these very insult attuned individual s these dumb names. They’ve heard it more times than you can imagine. </div></div>Anne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269900684844843540.post-42153231629508166432010-03-22T15:34:00.000-07:002010-04-10T09:59:43.077-07:00Redheads #5 - What shall we name our redheaded child<div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwLLE8pOqzB_mQVkIRWSNDEdB4lp9sLuLpt0rItoll8uhaiJL_oRs5JToZnl_ZSm8adJqejjxLiLS07XovBASyJhR1gmRUIQXlli4dru5qx6J_Q9AADac9e9D-wCipCO_n_78faqKaDo/s1600/DSC_0402-5x7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwLLE8pOqzB_mQVkIRWSNDEdB4lp9sLuLpt0rItoll8uhaiJL_oRs5JToZnl_ZSm8adJqejjxLiLS07XovBASyJhR1gmRUIQXlli4dru5qx6J_Q9AADac9e9D-wCipCO_n_78faqKaDo/s400/DSC_0402-5x7.jpg" width="400" wt="true" /></a></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The following is one of their redhead stories. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div></div><div></div><div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The children’s parents were rather surprised to have one redhead and even more surprised to have two redheads.

</div><div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The children’s parent's went to the hospital to deliver their first baby and while in labor they watched Breakfast Club starring redhead Molly Ringwald. The main character’s name was Claire. When the unexpected redheaded baby was shown to her parents, they decided to name her Claire. A fitting name for their new baby girl. <br />

I'm Anne Lindsay and I've been very busy this past year. Redheads and More Redheads...a book in progress has expanded to 65 glorious redheads who have been photographed and interviewed. I've cut my hair, gone to the Redhead RoundUp Festival in Lincoln City, Oregon and just became friends with 250 more redheads in the Seattle area. My many thanks to KOMO News Radio, KJR FM and the Sammamish Review. You guys rock!<br />
I am one lucky person.<br />
<br />
We will be posting two new Redheads per week. Our hopes are you will come back from time to time to see our new Redheads and Redfriends.<br />
<br />
If you are not a red head or you are a redhead who does not live in the Pacific Northwest, you can become a Redfriend. All you have to do is send us a high quality and wonderful jpeg of you, your redheaded child, and your redheaded best friend and then tell me your redhead story.<br />
<br />
Because of our amazing pr success lately, I am also hunting for a book agent and of course a publisher. Once again, I've been doing my research, calling my author friends and reading how to books on publishing. I realize that publishing has changed more this year than the past 50 years. I'm calling agents who specialize in specialty and art books who want an amazing photographer/author for their next client!<br />
<br />
We are still looking for additional redheads to be photographed for the book. Contact us at <a href="http://www.redheadsandmoreredheads.com/">http://www.redheadsandmoreredheads.com/</a><br />

</span><span style="color: black;">My little three year old red head is not old enough to tell her story. I can’t wait until the day that she can. She is my spunky and spirited little redheaded girl. Everywhere I take her people stop us and talk about her red hair. I have a feeling she is going to have a love-hate relationship with that fiery hair on her crown. She likes it now and is starting to realize that it is something that makes her special. Just the other day, she said, "Mommy everybody likes my red-hair". I said “Yes, my darling girl they do!” I am going to ask her a few questions about her hair and see what she has to say.<br />
<br />
Karla: What do you think about your hair?<br />
Ava: "It is pretty"<br />
Karla: What makes your hair special?<br />
Ava: (with much prodding from her big brothers) “Not, much people have it."<br />
Karla: Who is your favorite red-head?<br />
Ava: "Meeee!!!, and Daddy and Aerial."<br />
<br />

<div><span style="color: black;"><br />
I’m Karla and am a 32 year old stay at home mom. I have three boys and one spunky red headed girl. I’ve been at home with the kids for 13 years which is not the most glamorous job but the rewards have been limitless. I’ve lived in Vandalia, Ohio my whole life. It is where my family is located and where we play in the pool or hang out on the ball fields. I love spending time with my kids, working out and staying fit. I believe the best part of life is being together with the ones you love.<br />
<br />
Note from Anne: Thank you Karla and Ava for being Red Friends. </span></div><div><span style="color: black;">(c) 2009 Anne Lindsay All rights reserved. </span></div>Anne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269900684844843540.post-92177532900833388682009-04-06T17:41:00.000-07:002009-04-06T17:54:53.541-07:00<span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">Redhead #4 – And then the Triplets came along</span> <div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsSgtXTAjwTnF8vjssjV0u-23qLO6hR88Mb7Jgr-AfE5PJt7li01hNMplDv-BPdCySsZnNETWe74GC7OKHelF__8NJfa_uIcM0KLrjIx8YDxscAEluIqxALCHcmPhN3xV2sLy0Yv2IuGI/s1600-h/girl2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321744887436970146" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsSgtXTAjwTnF8vjssjV0u-23qLO6hR88Mb7Jgr-AfE5PJt7li01hNMplDv-BPdCySsZnNETWe74GC7OKHelF__8NJfa_uIcM0KLrjIx8YDxscAEluIqxALCHcmPhN3xV2sLy0Yv2IuGI/s400/girl2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My search for redheads has taken many turns. When I first started hunting redheads, my referrals were word of mouth. Don’t you love that saying…word of mouth! In any case, I found out about Katy when her mom emailed me describing her four children. She was good friends of a redhead I had just put on my calendar for photos. Lisa’s family included herself, her redheaded husband, Katie and THE TRIPLETS. Katy is the oldest child by two years, and then the TRIPLETS came along. Amazingly enough the only boy triplet…Carson…is also a redhead. Lisa decided that it would be fun to be a part of the Redhead and More Redheads project and set up their photo session.<br /><br />A few days after having set up the session, I saw a herd of kids in our local grocery store with a dark haired mom driving her cart through the produce section. I zoomed in on the redheads in the group and asked the MOM, if the redheads were hers. She told me that they were not hers, they belonged to a friend. Wide eyed, Katy told me that she knew about my book project and that her mom had already signed up for a photo session and interview. Glancing over the group, I noticed Carson, her brother, with 10 tooth picks taken from a sample dish stuck between all of his front teeth. He was a monster growling and displaying his thorny mouth. My next thought was GREAT a comic for the book. Katy was the informed older sister and Carson was the nutty younger brother.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Interview Snippet #3</span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><br />Katy is an adorable, 10 year old strawberry blonde. There are three redheads in her family. Her father, her younger brother and herself. Katy’s mom explained that Katy and Carson get along very well and she attributes it to the fact they both have red hair. During the interview, Katy told Anne that the family had discussed the issue that redheads are going to go extinct. She seemed very worried about it.<br /><br />Fortunately, Anne was able to dispel this myth for Katy’s family. The myth that redheads are going extinct is false. Fortunately, research shows that Redheads are a minority but are not going extinct.<br /><br />Unlike other redheads, Katy did not have any redhead stories or had ever had a redhead nick name. The only nick name given to her was by her redheaded brother and it was nincompoop. In retaliation, she calls him a ”fiery building carrot top”. We all have crazy names given to us by our siblings. Fortunately, Katy’s nick name does not include a rude or silly redhead slur.<br /><br /><br /><br />(c) 2009 Anne Lindsay All rights reserved.Anne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269900684844843540.post-42486337099420921312009-04-04T20:57:00.000-07:002009-04-08T15:16:02.675-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglLACS6QaxnxON8J5tsf8MfQwm8nYXhAwF2N5oNyGddbhb_d5qY0CK0DSmv_G-c8EJPyy2HcziHvu6OtNGsBsmft4rvT5zgfuqQBr7Zq1gLh57NDUF1GNwqgo7IWedCI5n_U2ShIsrKg/s1600-h/Red+Frenz+Logo-2+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322447487766352754" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglLACS6QaxnxON8J5tsf8MfQwm8nYXhAwF2N5oNyGddbhb_d5qY0CK0DSmv_G-c8EJPyy2HcziHvu6OtNGsBsmft4rvT5zgfuqQBr7Zq1gLh57NDUF1GNwqgo7IWedCI5n_U2ShIsrKg/s200/Red+Frenz+Logo-2+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div></div><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmI1jlAiXa4pdagSIbFJOP1jxWBpAfrXF1pag9q2XaMfp2lw1YrLSi93lHjiXRK2ofCt3WAwAYTRuci4_WwBMy-AdTf3NR87ZehH-m7DDs-ytWFS7wgRBaAEAt9wfh8OrLvg_tqtNIidE/s1600-h/goodie.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321740717704222578" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 125px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmI1jlAiXa4pdagSIbFJOP1jxWBpAfrXF1pag9q2XaMfp2lw1YrLSi93lHjiXRK2ofCt3WAwAYTRuci4_WwBMy-AdTf3NR87ZehH-m7DDs-ytWFS7wgRBaAEAt9wfh8OrLvg_tqtNIidE/s200/goodie.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">Red Friend Story #2: <span style="font-size:100%;">My snout is a warm glowing auburn</span></span><br /><div><div><p align="left"></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="color:#000000;">Goody Beagle here. My human says I am a partial-redhead because my shoulders and my ears and most of my snout are a warm glowing auburn, which is just another word for red. I guess I’ll have to take her word for it, because I am a dog and like all dogs I don’t do colors. </span><br /></p><p align="left"><span style="color:#000000;">Maybe you feel sorry for us dogs because we can’t see colors.

What you call black dogs have a spicy, in-your-face smell, and what you call brown dogs have an earthy, hole-digging smell. White dogs have a smell like seagulls on the beach. All good smells. But redhead dogs – now there’s the best smell of all. Dogs like me, from the tri-color Beagle clan, and dogs from the Irish Setter clan, and even dogs from the rust-colored Pekinese clan – we have a richer, deeper, more satisfying smell – a smell that says “this is an interesting creature and you should give it a cookie so it will stay around a long time.” </span><br /><br /></div><div><span style="color:#000000;">Then we will give you a nice face lick and be your friend for always.<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">About the Author:</span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQjmvr2O-Wo9qkdQftJ5Wm49d9bB8n25SIJZxU9DIKpcOs6LKN-ZpwjHcrSRjMjOFET_7xVHv7AjIMf12f3cOmoip-Ws0cllhv5XAFSxpP574z5t1olwP_E08Tnz1-Q7L5raDS-KlkF8/s1600-h/5x5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321742148473790898" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQjmvr2O-Wo9qkdQftJ5Wm49d9bB8n25SIJZxU9DIKpcOs6LKN-ZpwjHcrSRjMjOFET_7xVHv7AjIMf12f3cOmoip-Ws0cllhv5XAFSxpP574z5t1olwP_E08Tnz1-Q7L5raDS-KlkF8/s200/5x5.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div></div><div></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">Location: Bellevue, Washington</span><br /></div><div><span style="color:#000000;">Kim Pearson is the author of five books, including Dog Park Diary: the Social Round of Goody Beagle, and a ghostwriter of more than thirty non-fiction books.

She is the talent behind <a href="http://yanicaru.deviantart.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Yanicaru</span></a>. Some of her characters have included Fors, Voiden and Tierany. She’s been drawing since she was 3 with chopsticks on the rug. Her family had to walk around her creations until someone would use their foot like an eraser. She would go to another spot in the living room and start a new drawing.

Easier on the family and her images and stories are more permanent. </div><div><br />Fiona saw the birth of Redheads and More Redheads because she is Anne’s daughter. In fact, one might say, Fiona was one of the reasons why the book project came into being. Fiona was a redhead, because….<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">INTERVIEW SNIPPET #3</span></div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"></span><div><br />Anne: Fiona tell me your favorite redhead story.</div><div><br />Fiona: M O M! You know which one it is. Why do I have to tell you? </div><div><br />Anne: Because.</div><div><br />Fiona: (rolling eyes) Okay! Mom and Dad really really wanted to start a family and went through a lot to have a baby. In fact it took 5 years and a lot of science. Right? </div><div><br />Anne: That’s right sweetie!</div><div><br />Fiona: Anyway, mom was seven months pregnant when Christmas season rolled around. As with many pregnant moms, she had a food craving. She could not get enough mandarin oranges. She ate crates of them over the holiday season and beyond. It was mandarin oranges, right? </div><div><br />Anne: That’s right.</div><div><br />Fiona: To go on. When I was really little, Mom and Dad told me that the only reason why I had “orange” hair was because Mom ate all those madrian oranges. Of course, I also believed in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny, too. When people would come up to me and say I had really pretty red hair. I would look them at them with an incredulous look on my face and announce “NO! I don’t have red hair, I have orange hair!” Straight, orange hair. Forget about genetics, my orange hair came from an over abundance of mandarins in my mom’s diet.

My redhead viewing and photography expeditions have ranged from organized trips to potential natural habitats to accidental encounters. These encounters are always a bit disarming, exhilarating and often frustrating. When I see a stray redhead, I’m never sure if should slowly move in and meet them eye to eye or stay back. There are times when the thrill of seeing a single redhead alone is overwhelming. I can’t help myself from straying into their territory.<br />At that point, I may avoid an encounter completely or go past the redhead because I am not fully equipped. At that point, I get really mad at myself because I’ve left my equipment and supplies in the van or back at home. There are other times, I can’t help myself and pounce on the unsuspecting redhead with limited success.<br /><br />The nuances of the well oiled junket are many. I must develop the proper skills, continue observations, try various pursuit techniques and continue my study before I become an accomplished redheader. Fortunately, one of my most successful training tapes comes from the world renowned naturalist, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/programmes/who/david_attenborough.shtml"><span style="color:#ff0000;">David Attenborough</span></a>, on the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/animals/planetearth/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Planet Earth TV Series</span></a>. I encourage potential redheaders to study this master’s technique. One program I particularly like is the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y"><span style="color:#ff0000;">“Amazing! Bird sounds from the lyre bird - David Attenborough” </span></a>It shows how too many enthusiastic naturalists can have an effect on the animals they are studying. I must always keep this in mind.<br /><br />Redheading requires the right outfits, equipment and supplies. Fortunately, I’ve been studying other great naturalist’s fashion acumen and have been trying to emulate their style. I found just the right safari hat on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Amazon</span></a> and will be purchasing my shirts and pants from other appropriate suppliers. As a female redheader, this is always one of the most fun elements of the preparations. Fortunately, I now have the right makeup and hair accessories to do the job right.<br />During these past months, I have also purchased the following cache of supplies. They include printed “Redhead and More Redhead” business cards, a post card outlining the book’s reison detre and a well oiled encounter speech.<br /><br />My equipment quiver includes my <a href="http://nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25432/D300.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Nikon D300</span></a> digital camera, a camera on my cellular phone and a small video camera. I also have a great camouflaged <a href="http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1277"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Olympus DS 40 digital voice</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">recorder</span></a>. All of my equipment must fit into my redhead satchel. Okay, so it’s not a satchel, it’s a big BAG. I purchased the BAG from <a href="http://www.bagsbybabycakes.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Bags by Baby Cakes</span></a> and have photos of some of my first redheads emblazoned on both sides. A great publicity tool! I’m sure I will be adding and refining my setup as I refine my redheading skills.<br /><br />I believe I am ready for my first official expedition. It will be either the <a href="http://www.tartanday-wa.org/Festival-2009.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Tartan Day – Scottish-American Festival in Puyallup</span></a> on Saturday, March 28th or the <a href="http://www.leiferiksonlodge.com/Events/2009_03_NorwegianHeritageDay.pdf"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Tastes of Norway Norwegian Cultural and Heritage Day</span></a> in <a href="http://inballard.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ballard</span></a>. They are on the same day. I may go to both, we will see. It’s so hard sometimes. I’ll let you know what I decided in Chapter 3 of The Hunting of the Redhead.<br /><br /><br /><br />© 2009 Anne Lindsay<br />Chapter #2 of Hunting of the Redhead StoryAnne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269900684844843540.post-55226182440154107142009-03-23T10:30:00.000-07:002009-03-23T11:11:05.274-07:00Redhead #2 - My giant carrot top afro<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRu6CJujUnrztAoQawvEGyMJa2TEGyWtBRojQVmzTUoZpMiGsICJuXBEZhMrrsNkaplo6pfhJKHr6D-IOsOA-9cmxKRK49aAu1R8lxb0yDsuEbOFJPkPKvANsT49A-Wo6jCj_o5Z7SxQ/s1600-h/DSC_8011-4x9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316445360656545282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 202px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRu6CJujUnrztAoQawvEGyMJa2TEGyWtBRojQVmzTUoZpMiGsICJuXBEZhMrrsNkaplo6pfhJKHr6D-IOsOA-9cmxKRK49aAu1R8lxb0yDsuEbOFJPkPKvANsT49A-Wo6jCj_o5Z7SxQ/s400/DSC_8011-4x9.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHPutzPKCoBZCVyF5_tQ71AEHyX6RJqYbSD0FCC-d7FNm8o1qJg0tM_YdhGxfXIGVSoanYhoomdPQQbOQnLho9hHggvo0fI37SjQCBlGLBebw3KPOVXi0-SB1gBXPO5sbfl7OY0iE1-8/s1600-h/DSC_8011-4x9.jpg"></a>Lauren Selig, a pregnant REDHEAD, is the imaginative woman behind the book <a href="http://www.lalaselig.net/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">“Little LaLa”</span></a><span style="color:#ff6666;">.</span> She is a highly successful business woman and entrepreneaur with close ties to the <a href="http://www.seattlechamber.com/portal/page?_pageid=33,3147&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Seattle</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span>Business Community.

Not only is Lauren a redhead but <a href="http://www.lalaselig.net/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Little LaLa</span></a> is a precocious red head, too.<br /><div align="left"><br />Anne met Lauren as a client who wanted photographs of her adorable family. Anne told Lauren about her book “Redheads and More Redheads” and requested she be a part of her book in her pregnant state. Lauren came back to Anne’s studio about 3 months later and we photographed her as a beautiful redheaded mother with child. We thought it would be funny if she had the baby the next day. Our joke turned out to be a prophecy. Surprise! Lauren had her baby the next day! </div><br /><div><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">INTERVIEW SNIPPET #2</span> </div><br /><div><br />Lauren: My funny redhead story started when I was made fun of as a kid because I had red hair and so many freckles. Because of the teasing, I thought I wanted to turn my hair blonde. I wanted to have curly, big beautiful blonde hair. So, what do you do in 80’s when you wanted truly big beautiful blonde hair? You went and got a perm! My mother agreed to let me get a perm. After I got the perm, the nice man told me “Don’t go out in the rain for couple of days after your perm”. I told him “Okay!” </div><br /><div><br />I thought, well, this is Seattle, of course, we have no rain. I can do that! Well, my family went to <a href="http://vancouver.ca/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Vancouver, B. C</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;">.</span> for <a href="http://www.expomuseum.com/1986/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Expo 86</span></a> and it was pouring rain. Of course, I went out in the rain which turned my lovely new perm into a giant carrot top afro and I had huge red hair everywhere! I thought if it was going to be this big and all over the place, I may as well turn it blonde. Just to make it a little bit worse. My parents wouldn't give me any dye for my hair. I didn't know how to do it otherwise. Thank God I didn't find any bleach. But, I did find dozens and dozens of lemons. I decided I would just squeeze the lemons and dunk my head into big bowls of <a href="http://www.hair-styles-secrets-revealed.com/hair/302/lighten-hair-with-lemon-juice/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">lemon juice</span></a>. After dunking my head, I used a hair dryer and stood out in the little bit of sun we have here in Seattle to turn my hair blonde! It made my hair into a giant mass of red blonde afro hair. I was horrified. (laughter) I decided not to change it ever since. So now, I LOVE my red hair and I'm hoping it never turns gray. That’s my crazy redhead story. </div><div> </div><div>© 2009 Anne Lindsay <a href="http://www.annelindsayphotography.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Anne Lindsay Photography</span></a><br />Lauren Selig’s Blog: <a href="http://www.lalatravels.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">LaLa Travels</span></a></div><br /><div></div>Anne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269900684844843540.post-62800471168686919172009-03-16T09:07:00.000-07:002009-03-26T16:10:20.597-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjko4idGZU6730ItsSbn6XvVKiJ5rUjXFoCrRqkEFqXdvMnfs_-YZnu3GVVjyo3kTfb32Wv1E0N8zcfc5AO75rCT5J-_XLTQWkK1LTriueve4QQawU77stYUJCKwCVxZThv50FzVjYwLnk/s1600-h/DSC_9527-2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317631162335991762" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjko4idGZU6730ItsSbn6XvVKiJ5rUjXFoCrRqkEFqXdvMnfs_-YZnu3GVVjyo3kTfb32Wv1E0N8zcfc5AO75rCT5J-_XLTQWkK1LTriueve4QQawU77stYUJCKwCVxZThv50FzVjYwLnk/s400/DSC_9527-2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong></span></span><p></p><p></p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>The Hunting of the Redhead -</strong> <span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">Chapter 1</span></span><br /><br />"Just the place for a Redhead! the photographer cried,<br /><br />As she set her camera with care;<br /><br />Moving each subject in front of the lens<br /><br />By her finger entwined in their hair”. *<br /><br /><br />“I’m goin’ redheadin’” I call out to my husband, as I leave the house, camera in hand. “ I need another redhead for the book” There are many times I’ve gone on an expedition and come up short. I will lament that I need more creative places to go to find the illusive redhead.<br /><br />No matter where I go, I always keep my eyes peeled for the strawberry blonde to the auburn man, woman or child to add to my collection of amazing characters I have been collecting for my redhead book. I’ve found them in the grocery store, at the Cirque du Sol, at the symphony, on the ferry, on the web and on the streets downtown Seattle. When I find one, I’ll assess whether they are in a hurry. If they seem to be sauntering along, I pounce. Having watched me in action, my daughter usually laughs and rolls her eyes. She says that it’s amazing to watch me “pop my card”.<br /><br />I’m always pawing through my bag trying to find my redhead business cards. Relieved that I finally find the last card in the front zippered pocket of the bag, I extract one and hold it in waiting.<br /><br />My modus operandi is to scan an area and look for the tinge of orange amongst a crowd. When I find one, I move in closer , wait and watch patiently. If the subject isn’t busy, I make sure they are a redhead then move in for the “shot” in a slow but stealth manner. I slip in front of them and look them straight in eyes, smile and say Hi, I’m Anne Lindsay and I’m a professional photographer”. They usually look a little befuddled that a perfect stranger has stopped them in their tracks. My next question is always “Is your hair naturally red?” If they are a natural redhead, they usually beam or their freckled faces turn crimson. At that point, they usually ask why I’ve stopped them. I say “I’m working on a book about redheads”. At that point, I have them hooked. Actually, at that point, they have me hooked.

(<a href="http://www.franfisher-coach.com/"><span style="color:#cc0000;">www.franfisher-coach.com</span></a>) . Not only that, she’s a ginger with an attitude. Fran and Anne met at a woman’s luncheon where Anne was introduced to a bevy of professional women business owners as the photographer who wears one black shoe and one white shoe. (More about that later) Everyone laughed.<br /><br />On a lookout for redheads, Anne called Fran a few weeks later to become a player in Anne’s Redheads and More Redheads book project. Fran was delighted to join Anne’s collection of Redheads.<br /><br />Each redhead participant is photographed and interviewed. The following is a snippet from the interview and one of Fran’s photos from the shoot.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;">INTERVIEW SNIPPET #1</span><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span><span style="color:#cc0000;"><br /></span><strong>Anne:</strong> Were you ever teased when you were young?<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Fran:</strong></span> Oh, unmercifully! Oh, my goodness yes! Oh, nicknames, Pinky, Red, Spots and the latest one was Gingy, which was new for me! That was from an Israeli man. I'd never heard that before.<br /><br /><strong>Anne:</strong> Were there any other nick names?<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Fran:</strong></span> Yep, there was carrot top, redheaded rooster and redheaded woodpecker. Those were prevalent in my elementary school days in second and third grade. Spots, referred to the freckles. Those were the big ones.<br /><br />You know, Anne, I was thinking about this and my first recollection was how I hated the nicknames. They hurt my feelings but I realized there's actually some truth underneath the names. I pretended that I hated it. The truth was I couldn't admit to anyone and even to myself. I loved getting the attention, you know!<br /><br />(c) 2009 Anne Lindsay<br />All rights reserved.Anne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269900684844843540.post-39965711738045757132009-02-27T09:42:00.000-08:002009-03-08T11:58:37.780-07:00REDHEADS, our first post<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKj_gbgcy3l0ZM1lxTHu_w1xoXIU8Rhz6rWWT1Qj9BEmvUl7KoBVued6Tz75ZWeDl5Gzj7mcb6roksfXjLXIBKxhrPriJ8W1Lnn6V2htnwsj-njPf0UrwX8LaXODzT-Yr2FDQx0QjO05g/s1600-h/Carson+2008-100-3-bw+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307606899181194850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKj_gbgcy3l0ZM1lxTHu_w1xoXIU8Rhz6rWWT1Qj9BEmvUl7KoBVued6Tz75ZWeDl5Gzj7mcb6roksfXjLXIBKxhrPriJ8W1Lnn6V2htnwsj-njPf0UrwX8LaXODzT-Yr2FDQx0QjO05g/s400/Carson+2008-100-3-bw+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><div><div><div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>REDHEADS</strong><br /></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>REDHEADS </strong>have been characterized as mavericks, beauties, fiery spirits, and rarities. Redheads have been the inspiration of historians, authors, poets, artists, and filmmakers. Less flatteringly, they have been saddled with nicknames like Carrot Top, Firebox, Big Red, Little Red, Fire Truck, Red, Matchstick, Rusty, Woody Woodpecker, Bozo, and more. </span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It is time for redheads to unite! If you have hair that is red, auburn, chestnut, ginger, cinnamon, or strawberry blond, with or without freckles, then you have come to the right place. If you are a unique redhead from Jamaica, Vietnam, Africa, or India, you’re welcome here too. We are especially looking for you! Even if you now have blonde hair, brown hair, or no hair, as long as you were at one point a redhead, we’re still looking for you.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Anne is working on her new book Redheads and More Redheads. It will contain beautiful images of authentic redheads and their stories - how their redheadedness has affected their lives. Whether funny or sad, our stories should be heard.</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Anne comes by her fascination with redheads naturally. A redhead herself, Anne's daughter is also a redhead, and Anne’s husband was strawberry blonde as a child and young adult. Her Grandma Flossy had beautiful red hair into her 80's. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Follow Anne's progress on her book on this BLOG. You will see new redheads every month and a snippet of their stories. </span><br /></div><div>If you are a redhead, let us know. If you want to be a part of our book, really let us know. Our studio is outside of Seattle. Hope to hear from redheads and friends of redheads alike! </div><div> </div><div>Anne</div></div></div></div></div>Anne Lindsay, Photographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04865762554551278825noreply@blogger.com2
