Granville Automatic
Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 9:23AM two gifted girls.
I was honored to photograph Granville Automatic’s, Elizabeth Elkins and Vanessa Olivarez last month in Texas. The two of them are amazing story tellers and write songs from a shared love of history, horses, war and heartache. Each song they play/sing take you to a given moment in time in past history.
They are focused individuals and their talent surpass the average musician and singer and they are still humble, focused, driven and selfless.
Here is a video of them on Bands on Demand hosted by Zoe Simone.

The hard work is paying off for Elizabeth and Vanessa. They have over 80 songs written and have played over 150 shows since last April (and that is just a guess.) They had a successful Kickstarter campaign last fall and and record 10 of their songs in Nashville this past summer. Now that they have the songs written, record, they now need everything mixed. You can help Granville Automatic by giving a dollar or more by October 16th to their Kickstarter to help mix the songs they have recorded. Going after your dreams is not cheap. One must have determination and also have the humbleness to ask for help when needed.

Here are some of the photos from our shoot in Texas. We went to a few of the missions outside of San Antonio. I wish I had remembered the name of them. I was quite sick the day we went out there in the blazing hot summer sun in September. Enjoy the photos. Please watch the youtube video and look at the website at

These two women deserve a chance at reaching their goals and dreams because they inspire me. If they inspire me then I just know that they can help inspire others.
I love you Elizabeth and Vanessa! Thanks for being such great friends!

Beautiful lighting!
Holly,
Nice work dude - two very different feelings but no less I dig both! Were these shots general promo, or for an album or something?
I think we all deserve a chance at reaching our goals at least I hope we do...
