Highway 34 — Signs
Yeah, I know it’s a sign picture. There sorts of pictures ususally don’t work for me becuase you are relying on the sign to carry the photo. For this image though it’s exactly what I wanted to show. Driving along Highway 34 (and many other off the beaten path roads) I’m struck by how often there are signs trying to point you back to the faster road. Back to the way everybody else goes. Yes, they need to be there. Maybe just not so insistent.
Steph Brand Portrait
Another sports portrait for the area’s volleyball captain. Like all portraits I photograph, I arrived early at Grand Island Central Catholic to scout a location for the shoot. The gym didn’t seem promising that day, but I found a hallway near the stage that had a shaft of light coming in from a doorway, didn’t have any lights on in the background, and had these great blue steps. These shots (and those from the previous post) couldn’t be taken without great patient subjects to work with.
Paul Goedert Portrait
Paul Goedert was picked to be the defensive football captain of the newspaper’s all-area team. He was a standout as St. Cecilia took home the state title. We focused on showing Paul in uniform, and the color of the lockers made a great backdrop. The shots could be used as his senior pictures. Paul was great to work with and I think we got some great images.
