Arlene

Growing up I was always willing to take orders from Arlene, so having her follow my lead for once was a brand new concept for us. Arlene lent herself and her day to me and my camera and was eager to help give life to the vision I had for her. No unusual or painful idea was off limits. Being so comfortable in her own skin, every shot captured her care-free and confident nature. In return for her cooperation, Arlene had only one request; a photo in her most sacred attire and an ode to her favorite team.

Mario

Me: "Mario do you mind wearing slacks and a tie and standing in front of your car for a few pictures? I have an idea!"

Mario: "Are you serious? It's about to rain and the Laker game is about to start."

 Me: "I'll be there in ten minutes, please be ready when I get there."

After giggling to myself when I saw him walk out of the house in slacks and a tie on an idle Tuesday, the next obstacle was my race against time. I needed to execute my idea before the rain and the Lakers interfered.

Thank you for always supporting me with my crazy ideas and random requests...I am forever grateful.
