Day 308

Finally! The November issue of Birmingham Magazine is out so I can start posting some of the shots I did for that issue.

This is the Armistead family. Four boys. Man man man (man, man...) I cannot imagine this, but they seemed to handle it with ease.

This shot was my favorite from their session, but a different one ran, which I'm sure I'll post at some point. She's got killer pants right?

To read the story online, see here. For the proper experience, pick up the magazine!

Day 283

Random outtake i really like from a recent family shoot for Bham Mag. I look forward to posting the images/spreads. In this shot I particularly enjoy David in the background scooping up a baby-child.

Shoot in Memphis tomorrow and get to hang out with Alan.

Day 048

Another group shot. This time at the home garden of one of the women who volunteers at the Allen Stone Clinic in Bujagali. This is her family, including kiddos, and parents. Her husband is not present, but it isn't because he died of AIDS, as is pretty common, sadly. In Sarah's case it is that he was pretty awful to her and their religious beliefs also were splitting and she couldn't be with him any more, so she packed up the kids and headed out. I have audio of her story somewhere. Talk about courage...she seems to have it (especially in her context)..

Day 045

Paul + Rose + their kids + other kids who stay at their orphange. This is a group shot in the road right after their church service the morning we left. Its funny how strange they look to me in clothes that aren't brown and ripped.

I remember

I remember when we went on a trip. My mom, dad, Leslie, and me, and stayed in a little log cabin. And earlier that day, we had gone into a little shop. I decided I desperately wanted some magnetic marbles. We got back to the cabin that night, and I played with the marbles on the floor. And I remember the floor was very crooked because the marbles only traveled one direction.

"That was the last vacation we took with your dad---in October before his problems began in November. We stayed in a little cabin and I can remember sewing on Girl Scout badges for Leslie during the trip. We took a hike and there was snow on the ground in the higher elevations. I remember a restaurant we went to while we were there but I don't remember the name."
