A Man and His Fiddle

So, Peter is a strolling Violinist in the park, who moonlights in the Sesame Street Live show.
It was threatening rain all day, but we headed out to shoot anyway.
Just as I got all set up and went to snap the 1st shot, a drop fell on my face.
We grabbed the gear and ran for cover, just as the heavens opened and the rain came a' tumblin down.
But luckily we were in a good area and there was still plenty to shoot!
And Peter entertained me on his violin while I was making adjustments.
Not a bad way to spend a rainy day!

Photoshoot Adventure

Shooting with Anni was quite the adventure!
She is Australian, and plays Marilyn Monroe, Princess Fiona and Jane in the Peter Pan Show.
She is such a fun free spirit and we had a great time climbing fences, dodging traffic,
and later stopping traffic with her incredible gams!
Altogether, my most adventurous shoot to date!

Butterflies

When shooting with Anni (photos soon to come) we decided to hop a fence and shoot in an abandoned field, overgrown with tall grasses and flowers. We climbed over and watched hundreds of dragonflies and insects of every kind hover over their private oasis.
We shot, and just as we were getting ready to leave, two butterflies few right infront of us, performing a mid-air mating dance for us. It was beautiful, and after a few minutes of enjoying the beauty, I remembered that I had a camera in hand, and raised it to try to capture the moment. The first shot. I got lucky.
Here's a little bit of beauty for you.

It's a GIRL!!!

Okay, so the title of this blog entry might make you wonder if you missed a few

scenes of my life and that I might be with child. . .
You did not.
I am not.

But, I did have my first shoot with a client of the female variety.
Chloe is one of our incredible Fantastic World singers.
She is from Australia and has legs for days and days and days and. . . you get the idea.
We had a great time, even though we, yet again, got eaten alive by the puny flying vampire bugs!

Right as we started the shoot, Chloe apologizes to me and says,
"I should warn you. . . I'm not very photogenic."
Hmmmm. . . . do you think she was right?
I'm gonna go with a big "uh-UH!!"

Open Mic Night!

On Tuesday Night, the performers from USJ got together for a little night of shared talent. It was, ridiculous! There is so much talent here, I feel nauseous! JK I, as always, was on hand to photograph, and had a great time with my new flashes creating a dramatic setting. Here are a few of the pics in slide show. (PS- I usually narrow it down to my favorites. . . this time I took almost 700 shots. . . So, my favorites totaled 100! Enjoy.)
