Spring Luncheon 2010

I was asked, by a friend, to capture the people and happenings of a charity event she was hosting.  After accepting, she then told me it was for almost strictly for women... a couple hundred women. Possibly the toughest subjects to photograph aside from bigfoot or the loch ness monstser.  Even so, I was still excited to help her out.

The luncheon turned out wonderful, everyone was incredibly nice, everyone had fun, raised an astounding amount of money for WIN (Women In Need), and guest speaker, Marilyn Miglin; who's story could inspire just about anyone.

The photo's for the event can be seen by attendee's Here.

In Cold Blood

My newest pet project is an Artistic Interpretation of Truman Capote's "In cold Blood"  all the details of the series are not set yet; I still need to find my cast, and decide if I should shoot a "highlight" series or dive as deep into detail as Capote did when writing it.  Needless to say I'm very excited and I cant wait to hear any comments or criticisms or ideas!
Below is the very first of the series, The Clutter Family Farm. Proudly built by Herbert William Clutter. He was a hard working man of great morals and was adored by the community.  As people passed the farm (though rare), they would always have positive mentions.

I chose to portray the farm as an overexposed almost ghostly scene way off in the distance, to emphasize the tragedy that occurred here. It was my goal to keep the color in the farm to show that Mr. Clutter always kept the farm in pristine shape.

Check back! I will have more coming rapidly!

Charity Auction

I have been asked to donate a print to be auctioned off to benefit a local charity, don't really know what to select. So far this these are my picks, all very different styles from each other. Anyone have any suggestions? What would you most like on your wall? You can look to my portfolio page or my Flickr. I think I'm going to have it 16x24 gallery wrapped, but I'll have to see how much time I have to get everything together. Thanks for any input!!!
