Faces UnMasked 2012

Thursday night I had the pleasure to be the event photographer for a wonderful organization. The Faces UnMasked event was held at the Chattanooga Theatre Center. As I walked in and started to look around, I was taken back a bit at the artistry. On the wall was several masks created by local artist as well as several done by kids.

As the event started Garry Mac was the emcee for the evening and let me say what a wonderful job he did keeping everything going. all of the guest were treated with some wonderful food as well as some games to participate in. The bottle toss game which consisted of tossing a ring around a bottle of wine became very popular, especially by my wife who took home 5 bottles.

All in all, I felt so honored to be there supporting a great cause. I would like to say a very thank you to Kim Teems for contatcing me to cover the event. One of the best moments of the event was when I got into a bidding war with a young lady who I might add did beat me for the Phantom of the Opera mask, so congrats to her.

I also met an artist would gave me the best compliment I have every gotten. We were talking about all the artersy of all the masks and what a honor it was to be in the presence of all of the great artist there, and she looked at me and said what I do made me just as much an artist.

So in closing if you get a chance to attend, do it not only does it support a great cause its just a fun event to attend. So please enjoy just a sampling of photos from last night.

 

Nightfall 2012 A Look Back Book

Hey everyone,
Now as some of you all know for 16 weeks I have been attending Nightfall. Well there is one thing that no one knew about until now is I have also been working on a book. The book is called Nightfall 2012 A Look Back.

As the weeks went on I started to think how cool would it be to have something to remember the 2012 season. Now the background of the book is 54 pages of photographs that said something to me.

So if you want a keepsake from Nightfall 2012 please visit the link and purchase a copy......

NightFall Week 16

I hate to say it but NightFall has come and gone for 2012, it has been such a pleasure covering the event not only for KickStand Up! magazine but on a persoanal note words cannot describe how all of the people that I have met have impacted me.

Every week I was blessed to meet new folks how share a common love "Motorcycles". Times like these come around and we sometimes forget how much fun they are. Now some of you might be wondering why you haven't seen the potos posted yet, well I do have a good reason...."I thought I already posted them hahahahhaha.

Below is just a sample of the photos, by tomorrow the rest should be up for your enjoyment. One last note over the past 16 weeks I have also been working on a book "NightFall 2012 - A Look Back. The proof is on its way so if all goes to plan I will be posting the info concerning the book.

In closing I would like to say what an honor it has been sharing the last 16 weeks with all of you. And I am sure that some of us will cross paths again before Nightfall 2013.......

October Special

Hey all,
I just wanted to share a special that I will be doing throughout the month of October. So take a moment and think about updating some photos that you have. and if you don't have that couple shot, family, or children now's a great time to get it.

I can guarantee that you will have a great time, and get some amazing photos.

Nightfall Week 13

Hey all,
sorry it has been a few weeks since I posted an update. So last week we had a crazy amount of rain, so not much happened at Nightfall. We did finally wind up with about 6 bikes, so that was cool.

Week 13 was better, a full house of bikes, people and great music. There was a great tribute style bike that showed, along with all of the regulars as well as a lot of new faces. Just a few more weeks left till the end of Nightfall for 2012. Labor day weekend, I regret to say that I will not be at Nightfall, cause believe it or not I will be attending

 

I am looking forward to this event due to the fact that I have never attended one. So I'm sure there will be some interesting people to meet and see.

Below are just a few of the pics from this past Friday night.

Another Kind of Art

Well most of the people that know me, knows that at one time I was really into HDR photography. Now I still love HDR, I've just been caught up with others things and haven't really got the opportunity to do any. But with the help of a really good friend of mine, I was able to create the following photos. I hope that everyone enjoys them as much as I did creating them.

NightFall first 6 weeks video

Well as most people who know me knows, every Friday night I attend The NightFall Concert Series taking photos for KickStand Up! Magazine. Well I thought how cool would it be to put together a video using some of the photos that I have taken.

Below is a link to my YouTube Channel, I hope that you all enjoy the video as much as I did putting it together......
