My Girls...

The three Course Assistants from the Winter 2009 season here at the workshops.


From left to right: Lauren Devon, Jenny Lee Trest, and Alyssa Bowers.

I've been trying to do more 'groups' of people - seeing as about 99% of my experience is with SOLO people. So I thought to myself, "Self, you should do a portrait of the CAs as an end of the season 'gift' to them." So I did. Now all I have to do is get prints and mail them out... ;o)

Donnor, Part Dos

...or this one... I'M SO INDECISIVE!

Donnor

Since I recently retired a shot of my good friend Mike Donnor out of my portfolio, I was re-inspired to do a shoot with him when he showed up to visit this past weekend. It was a tough edit but I really like this shot - I'll probably settle on it later tonight. I'm up for comments.


Mike has a new photography portfolio out called "Silent Moan" and it's truly stunning and heart-wrenching work... You MUST check it out under the 'fine art' category on his website. This kid is going places.

Hard at work...

One of my participants took this picture of me yesterday and I thought it was funny... It's me hard at work on a Friday (Fridays are CRAZY during the season.)

I just love the TWO laptops (there are three more around that you can't see), the post-it notes, my Pistons calendar, thank-you notes, the random film on my desk... this has been my home base for eight weeks now...

Kira Pollack and Gillian Laub

Our instructors this week: Gillian Laub and Kira Pollack.

I can't say enough how much I admire and adore both of these ladies. There are both ridiculously open and generous with their knowledge and experience, and I've had SUCH a great week working with them. I can't wait until I get to work with them again (hopefully!)
