The Seven Sins Personified: Sloth – Written by Alexander X. Laymen

It all started with the day I stopped going to work. Bills piled up reminding me of the debt I had accumulated. Before I knew it, collectors started calling me leaving me computerized messages, and the letters began turning colors with the severity of the situation. It was apparent to me I was in deep shit, but for some reason I was not discouraged. It was as if I had washed my worries away with every letter left on the floor.

“Dwelling on the problems will not do you any good, it will only bring you pain and suffering,” I said to myself as I sat back in my recliner amongst the piles of garbage, “Sometimes hiding from the problem is the best thing to do.”

Melodie Yvonne

Melodie Yvonne, lead photographer and owner of Photographic Melodie, grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. She picked up her first camera at the age of 5, and was immediately hooked. By the age of 15 she began to turn every trip, even just to the local park, into a fantasy scene of her own imagination, and started mentoring with many local professionals. Melodie received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Technologies majoring in Photography from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying under acclaimed professors and many other masters in the field.

Melodie’s main focus has always been music photography. Growing up listening to many amazing musicians inspired her dream to create visual images that made people feel the way they do when listening to music. Her goal was to help people SEE the music.

Melodie has done numerous jobs around the country ranging from working for bands to being the official photographer on many southern Indiana Poker Runs. Her specialties are in nature, music, and candid event photography. She published her first print work, a collection of images & poetry, in 2011, and has since published many more print works. Melodie currently acts as owner & lead photographer at Photographic Melodie, House Photographer for Purdue Theatre, and Tour Photographer for multiple Billboard Charts topping bands as well as freelance work with many other media outlets, venues, and musicians.
