Monday After the Masters – 25th Anniversary

The golf, the partying, and the music, raged all weekend and late into Monday night as MAM celebrated it’s 25th Anniversary!

I was honored to have been invited by my good friend and amazing photographer, Matthew Glac, to be on his team of official photographers for the event. Joining Matthew, Gary Coleman, and Kevin Caldwell, we had a BLAST capturing all the celebrities and VIPs as they came together to raise funds for charity.

Here are just a few shots from the concert, hosted by Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, and Jim Sonefeld of Hootie and the Blowfish, and featuring dozens of musical guest appearances by the likes of Drew Copeland, Ira Dean, Shawn Drover, Colt Ford, Aaron Lews, Branford Marsalis, Edwin McCain, Preston Pohl, and Scott Stapp.

Christopher Teves Strikes a Chord

Working with a fellow artist like Christopher Teves always inspires me!

I’ve known Christopher for a long time. I remember photographed images for the cover of one of his first CDs many years ago. We often bump into each other at weddings when he’s playing the processional, or at recitals where he’s a featured musician. But spending quality time with him the other afternoon was a real honor!

Christopher is the kind of gentle old soul that resonates with me. We could have been brothers in another lifetime! His passion for his art runs deep. He loves what he does. And he works REALLY hard to be the best that he can be at his craft!

If you haven’t had the pleasure, I highly recommend seeking out Christopher’s next performance, booking a guitar lesson, or crashing the next wedding he’s playing! 🙂 Check him out at www.christopherteves.com.

Shawn’s Senior Portraits

While we were at our reunion, my brother and his wife asked me to photograph their son’s Senior Portraits.  He’d had some done back home in Oregon, but they just weren’t thrilled with them.  Since Shawn is very into his music, and a killer guitar player (he performed a solo for his classmates at their graduation ceremony), we borrowed my uncle’s guitar for a prop.  Shawn’s such a great kid and I had an awesome time photographing him.  Maybe when he gets to be a super star he’ll let me shoot his first Album Cover….HA!  J

Acclaimed Guitarist Nikolai Svishev

Check out this “Canon in D Duo” video by acclaimed guitarist Nikolai Svishev.  He’s an amazing artist and always a pleasure to work with.  I’m honored that he chose some of my wedding images to display throughout the video!
