The Warrior Dash

A couple friends of mine decided to run The Warrior Dash this year. This is a 3+ mile race through the woods, mud, over obstacles, all in the name of fun. To me, it looked more like an excuse to play in the mud. ;) Of course, I brought along my trusty camera and took a few photos along the way. It looked so much like fun, I've decided, I'm doing it next year too!

Of course, for some it's just an excuse to dress up silly;







The massive start (Only 1 wave, they send groups like this off every half hour);


Near the finish, they have to climb this very large wall...




Then comes the mud!









And then the finish...







At least they offer a high powered shower at the end;



Though some didn't use it;



and it ends with a great party;



and a pile of donated footwear that they clean up and send off to some needy folks!

Shooting Amanda (and Kelsey)

Amanda is a hair stylist/makeup artist who came along to a shoot I did with Kelsey. We did some shots with both Kelsey and Amanda, as well as a couple images of Amanda solo.



Good vs Evil...

A couple days with Kelsey

I met Kesley at a group event with the Boston West Photographic Society, of which I'm on the board of directors. After a few shots with the group, I arranged to shoot Kelsey in my studio.

We did a few different looks, here's a sampling of the images we shot for her portfolio.













She brought along her friend to do hair and makeup, so we had to include her in the shoot too.

San Antonio - Riverwalk

I recently attended ImagingUSA (Professional Photographers of America's annual conference) in San Antonio, Texas. Of course, it was rainy and kind of miserable weather while there (but still way better than here!) but that didn't stop me from going out and doing a little shooting along the famous Riverwalk.

The hotel itself, The Grand Hyatt, had a bunch of photo ops itself;




Here's a few from the Riverwalk itself, all a short walk from the Hotel and Convention Center;
