Ali Lohan, Lindsay Lohan‘s 15-year old little sister, was spotted braving the bitter cold in Times Square in NYC yesterday as she posed for a photoshoot with photographer Jonathan Ressler. Ressler, who is photographing women for his Extraordinary Women project seems to think that A.) Ali is extraordinary and B.) that she is a woman. While each of those assertions is up for debate, the photoshoot took place yesterday anyway:

Referring to his Extraordinary Women project, Ressler posted this message from author Jodi P on his website:

This will explain, as you view Jonathan Ressler’s portraits, the wide range of women – all ages and professions. Some are used to having the camera turned on them, for others, this was a novel experience. As for me, I was expecting a traditional photo shoot – like the others I’ve had done for author photos on my novels. What I got, instead, was a chance to climb a tree wearing a ballgown…and to see myself in a way I’d never imagined – as someone natural and beautiful, through and through; someone who fits seamlessly into the world around her, so that she can chronicle it for others. I looked at that first Polaroid, and I realized that Jonathan had captured, in one instant, what I strive for every time I write a novel. It is said that art is that which moves us to tears and joy, and changes something deep within, so that after we experience it, we’ve discovered a facet of ourselves we did not know existed. Jonathan Ressler’s photographs are ideally suited to this definition: a visual representation of the mark these women have left on the world, as framed by the eye of an expert.

Having looked thru Ressler‘s online photo album, I can see that he is a very talented photographer. I’m not at all sure what qualifies 15-year old Ali Lohan as an “extraordinary woman” but to each his own.

In other Ali Lohan news, there has been speculation that Ali was planning a move to LA to live closer to her sister … according to Ali‘s publicist, those reports are untrue:

Ali Lohan continues to be home-schooled on Long Island and is not moving to Los Angeles to be closer to sister Lindsay, despite reports to the contrary, her publicist said yesterday. A story in the Feb. 9 Star magazine says Lohan, 15, recently registered at a private all-girls school in Syosset, but may never “walk their halls” because she “loves the lure of fame out West.” Nuh-uh, says the Merrick teen’s rep: “Ali continues to be schooled at home and is building her career.” Ali Lohan, who starred with mom Dina in last year’s “Living Lohan,” has been photographed in Los Angeles this month with Lindsay. That, apparently, was a vacation – not a relocation.

I pass this information along for those of you who have been staying awake nights fretting over Ali‘s living situation. Yes, I’m talking to you Michael Lohan. Rest easy, Ali plans to stay put in Long Island, NY … at least for the time being.
