life is either a great adventure or nothing – helen keller
In early January, we were able to meet up with Kevin and Nicole to capture their love story. Upon receiving Nicole’s story, I knew right away that this shoot was going to be classic. Kevin is in the military. Twice in the past two years, he has been away for an extended period of time, reducing their communication to handwritten letters.
Lately I’ve been trying to master pushed film and I’m learning every attempt that trial and error is the only way to get there. On December 29, 2012 I headed towards Harrisonburg to visit Gold Crown Billiards Bar and Grill. Long time friend, and current New Yorker, Nick Pascarella, was to play a reunion show there with his old band, Annie’s Tragedy. What a perfect opportunity for pushed film!
Up to Now
2012 has indeed been exciting. I’ve spent much time this year redefining my artistic vision, exploring a vast array of different topics of study in the sciences as well as the arts, self-developing over thirty rolls of film, and in the latter part of the year, deciding how to begin to add high quality cinematography services to the package lineup.
Back in October, we met up with Lee and Lauren at the venue of their wedding to capture their anniversary photos(their wedding was our first!). I planned for the shoot to happen on a rainy day, as I had some ideas for fun rain shots. For some weird reason, Lee and Lauren popped into my mind when I thought of rain on the Terrace at Mary Baldwin College. . .for those that don’t know the story, it POURED as Lauren entered the ceremony last year. Everyone ran. The ceremony was resumed inside the ballroom. Neither Lee’s nor Lauren’s smile disappeared though!! I was really impressed. Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see what I’m talking about! Enjoy!
