AMA District V Air Fest

I had the pleasure of traveling to Statesboro, GA to do some still and video work at the AMA District V Air Fest R/C modeling fly-in on October 27th.  Although the weather turned sour because of hurricane Sandy making its trek up the east coast, still a lot of pilots and their friends showed up for the 3-day event.

The event was hosted by the Ogeechee Aeromasters R/C modeling club.  I'm including several shots of model airplanes in this blog, but you'll want to check out the two links below.  One is for the slideshow of still shots that I took and the other is a video documentary of the day.

Enjoy!

10th Annual Heritage Festival

I'm not certain where I was last year in that I did not get the opportunity to attend this annual festival.  However, this year not only was I able to attend but I was selected as the "Official Photographer" for this City event.  The Festival was held at the Liberty Park Community Center in Grovetown, GA.

This year's event offered a 5K Run, Youth Bicycle Rodeo, Hot Air Balloon Rides, U.S. Army Signal Corps Band, Car Show, Karaoke/Open Mike, the Firehouse Band, A Golf Cart Giveaway, Bounce Houses, Rock Climbing, David Daughtry & The Good Ol' Boys Band, and over 50 vendors and plenty of food.

Success

Aprille Phillips - Dancer Extraordinaire

If ever there were two art forms that are completely compatible, I believe that dancing and photography are a perfect match. The two professions produce similar emotions that ascribe to illusion of lines, forms, and geometry in making powerful statements that sometimes can only be interpreted by the viewer. To me that is what's so exciting about photographing a professional dancer.

Met a "dancer extraordinaire"...Aprille Phillps. I don't remember how Aprille found out about my photography, but when I visited her studio to discuss doing publicity images for her business I was anxious to begin the job. What really excited me was when I asked her to show me a few of the moves she wanted me to capture. Her dance movements were "divine" and I was completely drawn into the spirituality of her talents. I'm certain you will be able to experience in the following images just how awesome this woman is at performing dance. This is a session I won't forget.

Enjoy!
