This session was a reminder that the sun does inevidably shine after the rain. We planned the shoot weeks in advance and both were really looking forward to the day. That morning the sky looked ominous, but we opted not to cancel - just in case. Of course the sky held back until the moment we both arrived at the location! So we made lemonade... a little rain never hurt anyone possessing an umbrella! (I love prepared clients). My brave friend agreed to walk in the rain, with me safe and cozy under a shelter. I managed to capture some great stormy day images!

*Really Big Deal
Local artist, Fletcher Crossman,
Has been in process with his painting "The Apple Theif" at the CCforP studio for the past six weeks or so and I have had the privilege of documenting its progress...
It has been kind of a big deal around here, not only because it's, well, in a word - huge! But also because it is the subject of a documentary film for the ETV series, Southern Lens, which is a TV series featuring some of the foremost southern artists. Since this work has such a dynamic theme (Quite simply the politics of women in religion. Why they have traditionally had a secondary role in religion, therefore all other aspects of society...) coupled with such a dynamic size and visual imagery it makes for great TV!
It will be coming down tomorrow for the next leg of it's journey, I am sad to report... back to Fletcher's own studio in pieces for the addition of his "special sauce", his "magic fairy dust" so to speak. I am sad to see it go. I have gotten used to it being in the studio.
I wonder if I will have the luck to follow it there for further documentation... hmmm. I'll keep you posted!

2009 Family Circle Cup
Spent the day at the Family Circle Cup on Daniel Island...
After Douglas Cunningham and Chris Smith's Monday Night Lecture at CCforP I felt armed with enough knowledge to be dangerous at this years event. So I packed up my 300mm lens and off I went. A long list of unpronouncable names later, here are a few favorite images...
