Season 2 - Ep. 8 :: "666 HR. Photo w/ Kim Campisano"

Campisano has an incredibly interesting relationship and a cosmic connection to the Sun City Girls and its members, in particular, the late, great Charles Gocher. While attending Arizona State University (ASU) in the 1980s, she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography, but not without its creative challenges. Many may not know this, but Gocher worked in the school cafeteria through Marriott Hotles, and would often pull "pranks" on the more deserving students, but not Campisano! Often seen in the library or lounge area, hidden behind a spiritual smoke screen from his esoteric exhales, reading various books on jazz, art, etc.

Gocher gave alchemical advise to the young student, and it had nothing to do with going to school to be an artist. All the tools we need to achieve the essence of expression are available all around us, and that's exactly what Campisano has done with her career. Having captured some of the most subliminal shots of the band over the years, Campisano's photography and participation in the scene are critical to the culture and the electrifying energy that birthed the Girls, and several others. While music holds the merciless magic of the human spirit, it's the photos that freeze everything in time, safe from sickness and death, and the reaper that patirently waits.
