As many of you know, my style of photography is a blend of fashion and photojournalism. So, one of my favorite ongoing assignments is to photograph C-Ville’s quarterly fashion spread in their Sugar supplement. In this Winter edition, we shot in the Paramount Theater, and I have to say, I am very pleased with the results. My good friend Daphne Latham did a great job on hair and makeup, the models were fantastic, and the location was spectacular. Here is a short video of my photoshoot by Caite White at the C-Ville, and some images. Check it out, and let me know what you think.
Lisa and Rick’s wedding at Maymont Park in Richmond was absolutely beautiful. The weather broke was rainy before and after, but was perfect during the ceremony and reception. The park itself had a beautiful, European look that was like Bush Gardens, but even nicer (kidding).
I will show you more later, with a slideshow further detailing what a handsome couple Lisa and Rick really are.
I had so much fun with Carrie and Eddie at their Omni Hotel wedding. We ran around the downtown mall before the wedding, trying on sunglasses, having coctails, and generally enjoying ourselves. Eddie is a super nice, easygoing, friendly guy. Carrie is very fun, knows tons of people and is also a pleasure. Both of them are obviously in love, and very sweet with one another. They can dance too. Thanks for the good times.
Wow. I posted a photo essay of the Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers on JPG Magazine, and it is the story of the week. Check it out, and vote for it if you get a chance.
I had a lot of fun at the art opening at The Bridge Progressive Arts Institute this past Friday. William, my mom, Jocelyn, her parents, ex-students, Rev. Jim Bundy and his wife Ava Baum, many of the women involved in CLAW, and about one million billion friends and visitors all came out to buy books, get them signed, see prints, listen to music, try their hand at arm wrestling, and enjoy the fun. It really was a spectacle. Here are a few pictures that were taken by my father in law, Michael Johnson.
The prints are up for the entire month of November at The Bridge. Anyone who missed it, go check them out. Those of you who would like a little more information, can come out as I host Charlottesville Photo Night next Wednesday, November, 19th. I will post more about this later this week.
I cannot tell you how refreshing it was to photograph Charlotte and Carl’s “elopement” at The Clifton Inn. The only people in attendance were Charlotte, Carl, Rev. Claire Goodman, my assistant Jeremy, and I. And after Friday night’s art opening, it was very refreshing to be in the company of such a spiritually centered couple who had such a relaxed, thought out, elegant wedding. Thank you two so much.
My Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestler photography is on the cover of C-Ville this week. Also, they interviewed me about being the “official” CLAW photographer, and in the house band. Here is the article.
Additionally, Brendan Fitzgerald and Cathy Harding from the C-Ville did videos of some of the participants of CLAW, including yours truly. Do you think my lightningbolt shirt makes me look fat?
Oh my goodness. My book, A CLAW to Remember, was selected at Blurb’s Book of the Week. If I have to be honest, it tied with another book, Asses of the World (donkeys, not butts). Doesn’t that seem fitting? I am so excited. The book is now a Blurb staff pick, and is listed on their blog. You can see the article here.
