Royal

Here's a photo I've taken recently... Lately I've been fascinated with the "one light" technique of Zack Arias and I really wanted to break out the black seemless and play around with very dramatic lighting.  So a few weeks ago I asked Royal if she would come take some photos with me.. here's what we came up with...

Amanda Mead

I just recently discovered that my co-worker Amanda is quite the talented musician.  Lately all I've been shooting is a lot of models and such and asked her if she needed some promotional photos.  I told her that I had a studio and that offered my service as a photographer.  She was more then happy to take me up on my offer.  Now, Amanda isn't a model and she didn't know how to pose in front of the camera.  She actually seemed to be a bit camera shy to be honest.  So to feel more comfortable, she grabbed my guitar and started playing and gave me such an amazing performance.  I feel privileged to have been blessed with a private show from this very very talented artist.  Without further adieu...

DJ JOOCE!!

I'm very proud of cousin (respect cousin) and dear friend.. Jooce James.  Last night we both competed in the Canadian Finals for DMC Canada where the winner wins a plane ticket to the world Championships in London (http://www.dmcdjchamps.com/index.php).  Apparently the points were so close between first and second place that the judges were in argument over it in the back room.  DJ Jooce came in second place in our country.  So gotta give love to my boy!!  Mad love going out to all the competitors in the battle.. I'd never in my life had that kind of stage fright.. so to get up in front of that crowd and show your set... RESPECT to each and every one of you.  Special shouts going out to Vekked who took first and Jimmy Riggz who took third.  Hat's off to you fellas.. Now that I'm done rambling.. here's a quick snaphot I took of Jooce a few weeks ago at the afterparty after the Regional Heat.
