A week ago, I went down to medicine park to assist Jeremy Charles with a little advertorial. Hold the reflector, keep the lights from blowing away, that sort of thing. While I was there, I had a little down time to walk up the main drag and shoot a few pics of the town, and while details were being decided, I was able to shoot the little kid who was the subject of the ad in question. It was nice to get out and shoot in the mode of dropping into a location, gestalting, and shooting pictures based on those impressions.

It’s also always nice to work with a pro of Jeremy’s caliber, someone who knows their look, knows their gear, lights, who “gets it.” That said, working with a family of four who are inexperienced in front of the camera, and having two small kids in that mix, was stressful.
