The Shoot Out
I was commissioned to go to New Harmony, Indiana to shoot two festivals:
The First Brush of Spring Festival – featuring Plein Air Artists around town
The Harvest Artisans Week - www.usi.edu/Heritage

It was a very fun project!

Around the Farm
It may not look like it from these pictures, but spent two lovely days photographing Hellebores at Pine Knot Farms. Had to deal with a little fog because of the hard rain the night before but by mid-day the sun burned it all off and I got to shoot in 80 degree sunny weather. Great weather, generous subjects and very educational. Learn what the farm is up to at www.pineknotfarms.com
So about a week ago I loaded up the truck and headed for Detroit for a couple days of shooting. It was a winter container story and the winter did not disappoint at all since it never got above about 30 degrees either day……and with dawn to dusk hours in the Detroit cold it was a long couple days. All the containers were done my the very talented Deborah Silver who owns Detroit Garden Works. These are a few behind-the-scenes images, you can see Deborah’s crew helping out and me in snow pants and the heaviest winter coat I own but still freezing!
Working out in the Chicago suburbs on our other cover shoot this past week. Brushed the dust of off the AcuteB 600 pack and with the nice weather it was a pretty good experience except for the 30 mile per hours winds!
This last week turned out to be a week of cover shoots, well actually two cover shoots but in the big picture that’s a lot of covers for one week in fact it’s a lot for a month. Both turned out really well and we had a good time doing the projects. These are a few behind-the-scenes shots from the first shoot early in the week. I’ll post a few from the second shoot real soon.
The Studio
It’s a new year, therefore new staff. This is a shot of the studio for taking more of Centro’s senior executive team. It remains the same; incredibly friendly staff, lots of fun!
The Cloud Gate Carolers
Photographing the crowd - the blur
Had a last minute project to shoot the Carolers under Cloud Gate.
It was a fun project and nice way to wrap up the 2011 shooting season.
Packing as I write for a road trip to do some stock shooting and to avoid a month of the Chicago winter season. Look forward to seeing posts from the road.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
The Bus
