Defining Moments

I had the opportunity to shoot candids at the City High after-prom party last night. I had to stay up late, but it was well worth it. The party was a blast, the parents made a terrific effort for this, and I know the kids really appreciated it. I wish they would have had stuff like this when I was in high school! Gambling, tattooing, jousting, pool, cakewalk, a hypnotist….all kinds of things. The gambling and tattooing were totally real, too. Swear.

I had a lot of fun shooting this event. I’ve added a few favorites below, and HERE is a link to all of them.

These are from last night.  A very nice couple, and quite relaxed in front of the camera, which makes my job easy! Being an ex-Harley guy, I was thrilled to get the classic Evo in some of the pics. We also managed to get a few shots with the setting sun providing perfect rim-light.  I’ll be shooting their wedding soon.

On Saturday I went to do more sandbagging in the Waterfront Dr. area. As you can see below, I brought Angus and Jake along this time. On Monday, I roamed around and got more images, including City Park and the art campus. The gallery says images were from the 14th and 15th, but actually it was the 14th and 16th. I got some shots of the spillway at maximum flow, too. It’s just so surreal to see so many familiar places submerged, and the constant sound of helicopters overhead lends to the eerie effect. Another large image gallery HERE.
