Hot Bird Music

Hot Bird Music is Christopher Patton.  A very insightful young man I had the pleasure to photograph last week.  I truly believe that any musician in the Cleveland area would do very well seeking his guidance for tips on self promotion, and music production.

Here are just a few images from our shoot.

He asked about colorful backgrounds, and so I pulled out the corrugated polycarbonate sheets and shot colored gels behind them with a black backdrop behind that.  One of my favorite effects for a background.

A special thank you to Hugh Wonderly, my assistant for the day, without whom this set up would have been extremely difficult.  :o)

2013 Parade the Circle- Part 4

...and the last batch of photos from this years parade:

Some of the participants were just plain cute...

some were comical

Others were downright freaky...

I had told my son Gryffon there wouldn't be politicians in this parade.  I had to apologize for being incorrect...

This women appears to be around my mother's age- you go, girl!

The end...  I have to make sure I am free to see it next year... it makes my heart sing!

More photos from the parade- lots of dragons!:

...and a giant pinata...

These kids sang the silliest song about food having a party in their tummies...

I love her grin!

I couldn't even stand on stilts let alone pose like this on one leg!
