I ♥ faces week 20 - Silhouettes

Here is the picture that I chose for this week's contest. Since we are just getting over the Memorial Day weekend I thought what better way than to submit a picture of my son. In fact I took this on Sunday. Here is to you America! Thank You to all the brave men and women who have fought and our still fighting for us!

My favorite Local Band

This past weekend I got to do a super fun photo shoot. It was of my favorite band Big Luscious T! They are new to the area, a group of wonderfully talented guys. I have been backing this band from the start! They play at our bar once a month. I take their pictures frequently when the are playing but Saturday we got to do an "official" shoot. They needed some images for their portfolio. I had a blast! Sometimes it was quite frustrating because they were like little kids, moving, and not listening so I geve up trying to direct them and let them do their own stuff. I really wanted to do their pictures around sunset but one member had to get back to Baltimore so I had no choice but to fight the direct sun at 2pm. I took them to a location that I use to hang out when I was younger. It was a swimming hole in the back of a park - but directly beside it is a train bridge with brightly colored graffiti. I got a couple shots on the train tracks but it was so bright and the sun was so direct that it was really hard to balance it all out. We are planning to do more pictures, probably at a industrial park or something like that (for their individual shoots) ... But in the mean time I will share one of my favorite shots. I have a ton of favorites but this one I love the colors!

I ♥ faces

A wonderfully talented photographer friend blogs every week about how much fun she has with this site so I am going to give it a try. I could not decide which photo to use because I simply had to many favorites, and not just of my children but of my clients children as well! But I decided to go with this picture of Abie. She looks so genuine and sweet, her eyes just shine. I actually just took this picture yesterday.
I am submitting this photo into the www.iheartfaces.com Blurb Book photo contest. I am granting I ♥ Faces permission to use my photo in a printed version of a book for commercial use and possibly advertising of a photo book on both the Blurb and I ♥ Faces web sites."
