Officer Skinner
Ah…..my first post….
I photographed a military ball the other week here in Columbia. One of the things I had to do for it was a portrait session. I took Lieutenant Skinner out to this ‘vintage’ historical site and attempted to get some really new and edgy shots. I wanted to go away from the norm and try something a little different. We definitely succeeded!
Ended up meeting some really cool people that day. I met one of one of the first guys I ever photographed while teaching myself photography in 2005. I ventured out to the Veteran’s day parade in November of that year. I actually turned the camera on complete manual that day for the first time. Took a shot of two gentlemen in an old military vehicle. When I looked through my archive it was definitely the same guy I met that day. Small world. And no I don’t suggest shooting in manual during a parade!
