Last week I received a call from a PR person that worked for Nationals Inc, a Pageant Organization. The PR person asked if I could fill in for a photographer and of course I said yes. I also asked how did she get my number, she then replied that another photographer that I have been trying to contact sent her my resume and recommended that I fill in for the photographer who was not able to make it in. It was a fun and interesting experience. They were impressed with my photography skills and my ability to adapt in any situation that i wasn't familiar with and they asked me if I was interest in working with them again on JULY 10th. And I said yes!!!  As a photographer for Nationals Inc, I would work in their photography services department and I would photograph and cover all aspect of the beauty pageant world from the girls starting interviews to the final crowning of the pageant queen. National Inc. pays for the traveling across the country whether it be driving or flying, pays

Today I worked with Mr.Eric shooting some relaxing summer house properties. I have worked with Eric before during my last year at VI doing on location stuff and some commercial projects. Like Glen, he has taken me under his wing, also teaching me some new techniques. Today I had blast working with him on mixing the flash (Canon 580 FLASH) on my camera with ambient light.

For the last month, I have been very privileged to assist Glen McClure while shooting his latest self project; Endangered Species: Watermen of the Chesapeake. The day before I left to go to this final shoot with him and his wife Marshall, he had asked me if I would be able to bring my camera along to document him while he worked on this project. Naturally I said yes. Glen mention to me that there could be a possibility that some of my photos could be good enough to be used in his new book, which would be based off this Watermen project. The photos below are some of the behind the scenes/ action photos that I took of Glen while he photographed his last view subjects for the Waterman project.
