Mel Haynes Photography

Xanthine has something to do with caffeine and the molecular structure of it. I never paid much attention in Chemistry class so my explanation is sub par to say the least, but Xanthine has another meaning and it is the name of the top collaborators I have ever worked with. A fellow photographer from out of state wrote me and said he wanted me to contact her because he thought she was cool. He was picking people for me to work with with. I am glad he did because "Duct Tape Girl" as my circle soon started referring to her as became one of the most creative people I worked with and always brought crazy ideas to my otherwise normal photo sessions. Below are just a small sampling of some of the shots I got from her. She is also in the set called "The Player" where I learned she was also a musician who played the violin.
