Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Last week the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” reality TV show was in town to build a house for a local couple that run a charity. I’m not a big TV watcher, but I think I did happen to see maybe half of one of their shows before. The episode won’t air until Thanksgiving of this year, however they did already have a pretend Thanksgiving parade…just skip over the fact that it’s January and we wouldn’t have a Thanksgiving parade even if it were November. Anyway, I didn’t go to the pretend parade, I was busy making photos of something else. I did however go out the build site one day last week to make some images for the newspaper. It really is amazing to see all of the volunteers working together to build a house that quickly. Here are a few photos from the build…it was extreme to the max…

Liberty Bowl

Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s already 2012, how did that happen again? Well, I’ve been taking a few days off here and there, sorta…my wife still has a list of things that need to be done and I have a list of computer tasks that I need to get to. As a finish to my year I was over in Memphis shooting again. The University of Cincinnati was playing Vanderbilt in the Liberty Bowl on New Years Eve day. Their photographer cancelled and they called me, so for two days in Memphis I was the Cincinnati football team photographer. I learn that I much more enjoy being a team photographer than working for publications! They were welcoming, gracious and I had great access to make nice photos. I made a lot of images that I was happy with, here are a few from before, during and after the game. By the way, Cincinnati beat Vanderbilt 31-24.

Some of my favorites from 2011

Well, I finished editing my favorite photos that I made in 2011, and I finished before the end of the year for a change. It was another year full of new assignments, cool photos and good friends/clients. Next year looks to be fantastic and I can’t wait to share the upcoming projects, stories and portraits that I will make. Until then, don’t forget to head over to the video page to see my 2011 slideshow!

Your table is ready

These are a few photos from a pre-party photo session I did a couple of weeks ago. I was asked to go out and make photos of the setup and table arrangements. It was a retirement party for the board of directors of the University of Tennessee Medical Center and looked really nice.

Another Empty Stocking Fund

I was out again making photos of a family who was getting assistance from the Empty Stocking Fund. I enjoy doing these, meeting people who are trying to make a better day for themselves and their family, makes me happy.
