Cape Cod Wedding

A very good friend of mine asked me to photograph his wedding, which was held on the Cape June 4th. I went down alone, no assistant, as it would span most of 3 days. They had the ceremony on the beach...a great spot, and a beautiful day. But also a logistical challenge: picture me walking with the group from the Chatham Tennis and Beach Club building to the beach...actively shooting with one hand. Second camera around my neck. Camera bag on left shoulder. Tripod and strobe light in left hand, all set up with the heavy battery and tripod legs extended. I was barefoot, and walking backwards. Every few seconds I had to pause to be sure I wasn't about to walk over a sunbather on the beach! Next time I bring an assistant. :)

Video AND Stills...I am not sure my brain can do both at once but I tried!

On May 13, I was part of a team of photographers, videographers, choreographers, dancers, and make up artists...all together for 3 hours to film a video sequence for Michael Jackson's "Thriller". The first part, prep and dance practice runs, I covered with still photos. Then once they actually started with the actual dance, I switched to video. Danielle posted a trailer for the video...the link is at the very bottom of this page.
