Yesterday Jenifer and I did a photo shoot for a national law firm based in Miami. It was a tough shoot logically due to the last minute booking when their regular photographer failed to call back. However, I think the client is happy with our performance and I think we made all we could of the opportunity to win future opportunity from this firm.
During the shoot we photographed 3 attorneys new to the firm and 1 that will most likely be hired (yesterday was his final interview, sounds like he is expecting an offer). In addition, we did photos of the partners for a national ad and to update their website. Below is a photo I grabbed while we where switching between partners for an environmental headshot.
More to come…

MCDS junior varsity boy basketball bested Hebrew Academy 52-40 in one of the worst refereed games in recent memory. Playing strong to the end, MCDS didn’t let it affect the outcome, outplaying Hebreew through the whole game.
Photographers were once akin to magicians; merging the mystical technologies of scary chemistry and electronics with the critical skills of focusing our vision (and the cameras!) through story telling. Now, the technology is taking care of by “the man behind the screen” through the likes of Apple, Adobe, Phase One, and the stalwarts that came after Kodak: Canon, Nikon, Hasselbald, and Fuji. However, as much as photographers like to complain about the current state of the business,@holdencalgary makes some excellent points in his blog posted at opinionehted.com. Specifically, as professionals it is our job to “focus on what is most important, creating content, making images, and sharing their stories with the world”. The blog is well written and certain worth the time to not only read but reflect over.

The MCDS men’s soccer team finished their regular season strong, beating Coral Springs, 8-0. Congratulations to them and their “Blue Steel” seniors for a great season.
At the end of the game, the entire team called Florida Hall of Fame Coach Watson from the stands to help celebrate a great season. Coach Watson lead the Spartan’s varsity men’s soccer team for many seasons before moving on to other responsibilities at the school and the announcers booth for all the home games this season.
The varsity men begin district tournament play this coming Monday at 7pm.
