I am fortunate to have a variety of fun friends and a great fiancé (we prefer the term Pre-Wife). These kind souls have come down to my little green room at Public Space One to let me photograph them. Surprisingly this is the first time I have taken proper photos of Tabetha.

One of my oldest friends happens to really like Spiderman, a lot. He poured a lot of time and effort into making himself a Cosplay caliber Spiderman costume for Halloween, its seriously an impressive suit. We had been talking about shooting photos with it for quite and while and it finally happened!

Then there’s Jeff, I’ve known Jeff for quite a while. I photographed him many, many times while he was drumming in HOTT. When I asked if anyone would take a snowball to the face for a photograph he was the first one to respond. So he won… About 12 snowballs to the face. It’s surprisingly fun to stand in a warm room and whip snowballs at your friends face. The idea was to get a sequence of the impact and the face one makes when they’re about to be hit in the face. We giggled the whole time like little kids, and yes I let him throw 3 or 4 at me too.
