MUSC Kids Help Portrait

Had the opportunity to help out with today’s Help Portrait event at MUSC’s Children’s Hospital. Much less hectic (and warmer) than last week’s event, but just as fun.

Setting up

Joe did a great job photographing the kids and I had a lot of fun photographing the action.

There were 9 kids and some of their parents that stopped by to have their photos taken. That meant there was more time to play with the shots and get different poses. There was also time for photographers to play as well.

Thanks to Joe for setting it all up and to the staff in the Child Life center for letting us do this!

Thanksgiving on the beach

On the beach at Surf City, NC

A giant of a turkey from Keegan-Filion Farm in Walterboro. At 12 kg (27lb), one of the biggest turkeys I’ve ever roasted. This bad boy was in the oven 5 hours before it was done.

Apparently it was too cold for everybody else. While everybody ate inside, I was enjoying my Thanksgiving dinner out on the balcony overlooking the beach. It was pretty nice out there.

The dogs couldn’t join in the festivities at the beach house, but I made sure they all had a good time

I think if someone wanted to be clever, they’d program the lights to show a message to photographers that like to do this kind of thing

Cthulu in the office

Orange Cthulu arrived at my office today and promptly started into discussions with Cylon Snowbot

“This is of no concern to you, mortal”. Uh oh.

'This is of no concern to you, mortal'

Then he floated over to meet with Dogbert and Tux, using the Mug of VI as his platform

More hushed whispering. It wasn’t long before Brain and Snowbot joined them

I think I should be afraid.
