It was my first time shooting for the CarolinaRollergirls.  It’s a bit different shooting in Dorton Arena.  There’s actually quite a bit of light compared to other venues and there’s like a referee buffer zone, so I couldn’t get right up on the tape like I usually do.  Oh well, I guess that’s a good excuse to get a longer lens.

Below is one example of the work.  If you follow the link to my Flickr set from that day you can see more murals, the Dartmouth campus and some photos from the Path of Life Garden in Windsor, VT.

Also, if you check out the rest of the collection, there are much more pictures from Vermont and New Hampsire!

The volunteers were extremely helpful. They saw me walking around with my camera and made sure to let me know where the media area was in case I needed to get some interviews with the bands.. Unfortunately, they bands I would have wanted to snap some more intimate shots of were in the media area while other bands I wanted to see were playing..

Ah well.

We had 41 prints at the studio, 8×10s 11×14s and 20×24s. Each of them were masterfully printed with deep, rich blacks, creamy whites and all the tones in between. Nothing short of exquisite.

I was told that these prints could probably fetch an estimated $250,000 total. Unbelievable.

If you’re interested in seeing them they will be on display at JRB Art Gallery from April 4th through April 26th.

If you’d like to see even more of Brett Weston’s work check out the show “Out of the Shadow” March 20 through May 18, 2008 at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

This happens next week. I’ll post more after the fact!

For those of you who don’t know:

Brett Weston (December 16, 1911 - January 22, 1993) was an American photographer and the second son of photographer Edward Weston. Brett’s photographs often approach abstraction, with subjects that are difficult to decipher. He is best known for his work in the dunes around Oceano, California, a subject that he shared with his father Edward Weston.

I specialize in shooting interesting, out of the ordinary events. My favorite things to shoot are edgier: roller derby, motorcycles, art shows, tattoos. But, I’ve also been known to shoot the occasional wedding, reception etc. I just love to take photos. Any kind of photos.

So if you’re in need of someone to take photos for you or are interested in some of my current photos, please contact me!
