Last year, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Mannix crew and shoot Jamie’s senior photos.  The whole family is absolutely beautiful and are a true-blue, genuine all American group of people.

This year, I got to shoot Jordan, who graduates in 2008. Jordan is a soft-spoken dude, who is kind and has a quick smile. The guy is built like a football player, because he is one. Although I am six foot tall, he towers over me! Jordan, his uber-cool Mom and I headed down to the Plaza which is one of Jordan’s favorite places. We had a fun time exploring some new areas down there and we didn’t even get security called on us this time. Pretty cool, huh?

My favorite!

Yes, I am the skinny, white, bald geek and Jordan is the strong, huge, tan, good-lookin’ guy. Rub it in. Go ahead.

Wonderful Quote — (which I snagged from a cool blog that I just found today for photographers, Daily Photo Tips). I hope you like it as much as I do.

“Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

We photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory.”

– Henri Cartier-Bresson (wikipedia)
