Although the pictures I take don’t show it, I am really an indoor girl. I like spider free places, indoor plumbing, chlorinated swimming pools. Feeding dinner to my family on the back deck makes me feel like I have been roughing it. Indoor girl. That’s me.
This was an exciting shoot for me. First of all, I was excited to work with Drew for the second time. Drew is in a band, and I had taken band photos of the group a while back. He was fun then, and fun now. I love to work with musicians.
Secondly, I have photographed a handful of Drew’s friends. I always try to make each session unique, and I did not want Drew’s pictures to look anything like his friend’s pictures. So I knew that we would be going to some new places during the shoot.
Lastly, I had a run-in with a large critter. Large, like a small microwave, giant shoe box, good sized mailbox. During our shoot, we heard a commotion in the tree branches above us. It turned out to be a giant ground hog-beaver-cougar thing. No joke. I wish I had the sense to snap a picture of the beast, but I was more concerned with getting away from it in one piece. (A photograph would also confirm that I was freaked out by a smallish ground hog.) In all honesty, I am sure I scared it half to death and it was trying hard to get away too. But the thing was above me. In a tree. Frantic. We all survived and finished the shoot with out further incident from the beast.
Without further delay, here is Drew.
Thanks Drew. I have full confidence that you would have saved me if that beast had landed on my head. Right? Hope you enjoy the preview. It was great to work with you.
