Future Project

Working with the stunning Heather has (re)inspired my desire to photograph dancers doing what they do best! If you are a dancer or know a studio that would be open to me and my camera observing, please please please let me know!

Reviving My Blog

So I guess I started this and sort of forgot about it. If you're not already, you should follow me and my "Wall Of Awesome" on my Facebook fan page. Here's the latest photo to grace the wall:

And as promised, the story behind the photo...

I met Larry at the Lighting Essentials Workshop as his band Secret Weapon came out to be our first set of subjects. I loved his whole look right off the bat but didn't get a chance to work with him since we had to keep moving. So a couple months (and 4 rockin' live shows) later, I asked him to recreate the outfit.

I didn't realize just how heavy duty this awesome white jacket was though. And I picked one of the hottest days of the week. But with enough beer and the promise of trespassing on location, he suited up to brave the mosquitos and humidity with me. We started off by this awesome door...

...walked to the other side so I could shoot in front of the big cement silos (the whole reason for this location. But no matter how low I got to the ground I could not get them in frame without suggesting we go to the roof. Finally I sucked it up and layed down on that there pile of mulch and shot upside down. Whatever it takes to get the shot!
