This is our amazing friend, COB.  She’ll head off in the wee hours of Friday morning for her next big adventure in Washington D.C.  Georgetown Grad School, you’re not ready.

Not ready.

Actually, we’re not ready.  Please don’t take her away from us.

Filed under: MISC Portraits,Portraits | Posted by Matt

Caila, sister of Mitch and Tom, studies at Fuller Seminary in LA.  She felt slighted when she returned home from college to find the family home decorated with giant prints of her brothers. Her mom told me that she made a promise to get Caila in for a portrait session, and last night she did.

Que buen día hacia ayer en Minneapolis!  Así que tuve que recorrerme por la ciudad con Sammy, Cristina, y su hija Tanya para hacer unos retratos de su familia.  Yo conocí a Tanya porque coordina el club social del edificio donde tenemos el estudio y a mi me gusta mucho todo lo que es ‘social’.  Me contactó hace un mes porque quería hacer retratos con su familia que es originalmente de Colombia.  Supe que realmente llevan casi 30 años viviendo en San Diego, pero siendo la bonita gente que son me dejaron practicar mi Español. Que yo sepa no dije nada estúpido (una vez pregunte al mesero si la contraseña de la red inalámbrica se escribió ‘todo con letra masculina’).

Les presento a los resultados del reportaje:

Enhorabuena, Matt, por tu (vuestro) trabajo. Desde hace unos días miro todas estas fotos y las que tienes en otra webs y están siendo un punto de inspiración muy importante para mi. He estado trabajando como diseñador gráfico durante quince años pero últimamente me siento más a gusto con la fotografía. Tu criterio estético encaja a la perfección con el mío, creo que estás llevando a la gente y al mundo un montón de imágenes bellas. Te envío un saludo cordial y sincero desde España.

Tom is an improvisor who’s hoping to start doing more commercial work as an actor.  His alter ego, a very Goulet “Lounge-asaurus Rex” also needed some publicity shots.  I think we nailed it.  The pups certainly enjoyed herself.
