breaking bad

I shot 100% for myself this day. and 100% what you’re not used to seeing from me.  It was last July… the Wahoo Meat Locker (have you checked out their new place yet?? UH-MAZING!!!)  had recently had a fire and we got permission to shoot in there [ear muffs, Fire Marshall, Bill]. And Ronnie is a Wahooligan who is engaged to one of the best volunteers at the rescue. He had been growing his beard out for 6 months before we decided it was long enough. 6 months too long if you ask his sister and his fiancé. He actually is still growing it. they. hate.it. Looks great in pictures, though, don’t you think?

I can’t even tell you how bad it smelled in this place…. there was obviously a fire…One of the smokers had caught fire when they were smoking all the meat for graduation parties and well, it’s old and I’m sure may have been a tiny bit of grease residue…  but it smelled more like burnt toxic chemicals. I suppose from putting out the fire? I don’t know. I’m not even going to pretend to know because it was a great place for this shoot and it was all I envisioned and more. I even got to experiment with my friend, Sophia’s lighting, which was super fun for me. But ultimately I chose the single image for my competition print that had natural light. It was super hard to choose my final…

… and he really is the nicest guy. he was just coming off his night shift.


 and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, CRYSTAL!!
