Between being on and off sick the last month and just buried with work, it has taken me until today to really begin to look through my shoot with the MASH basketball cheerleaders(if all goes well girls I'll be getting these done this week!) One of my favorite things about these seemingly chaotic shoots where we have to organize busy people into groups for shots and then figure out individual poses and a scheme for a style that we want to put forth is that I still think its important to laugh and have fun. When someone asks if they can do something I most always say yes--why not. I think if we try things we're apt to either get something way cooler or at least have a comfortable subject who is happy. Now sometimes its hard to make connections with everyone--I'm pretty sure some people just don't get, but overall I think they at least laugh along or perhaps at me and we end up finding the picture that works...at least most of the time. I also like the fact that I have a place like this featured picture of the day to share some of the out-takes that might not end up on the fridge(but maybe the facebook wall?).
