I always give the same speech when I work with people:  ”This is for you, not for me (or your parents).  If you are uncomfortable with anything, just say so. If I ask you to do wild stuff that you don’t like, tell me.  I am fine with it all!”  I may get a spur of the moment idea and ask if it is ok.  Many times people will go with the flow, sometimes not, but most of the time yes.

This past weekend, Becca was one of those people that not only was up for anything, but invited me to get a bit more crazy.  She knew what she wanted, she had a vision, but had a hard time deciding on specifics.  So we planned for an afternoon together and wondered around a bit. Her Mom was there to help but let this be about her daughter; she stayed in the background and was there to support her and provided some laughs when we did some crazy things.

Thanks Becca for making me laugh!  It was a blast!

The bugs were nasty that night!  Becca was getting eaten alive.  Every two seconds she was trying to kill another mosquito.

It was almost pitch dark when I took this.  I think this may have been my last shot of the night. And I LOVE IT!

Every once in a while you meet people who are just fun to work with.  They are open to your ideas and are willing to be as creative as you are.  Hap and Jean Marie are two of these people.  I am not sure the night could have gone any better.  Everyone was fun, easy and wanted to have a blast as much as we did.

Hap and Jean Marie, I hope that you have a wonderful life together.  The party is only now really starting……

This is a cool new plugin for CS5 from Adobe labs called Pixel Blender. For some shots, I really like it.  Can do a lot of things, but the one that I like best os the Oil Paint. Piedmont Driving Club

It was so dark where the reception was that I needed a VALS (Voice Activated Light Stand).  Thanks to Nat for making it all happen so well!!
