I’m not “The Picture Guy.”
\n I don’t want you to stare and smile.
\n Don’t hide your beer; everyone knows it’s there.
\n Just ignore me.<\/p>\n

Events are a challenge. Most people have been conditioned to believe that event photography comprises a series of nearly-identical headshots of people with arms around someone else and martini held strategically below the waist and teeth bared as for a dental exam.<\/p>\n

My dream is to break the world of that conditioning. \u00a0In the end, nobody wants to look at 500 identical shots of people all staring straight into the camera. The images should show what it really felt like to be at the event, not a fleet of zombies captured in the klieg light of my strobe.<\/p>\n

So please, just ignore me and all will be fine. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
