Jacksonville Photographers Shoot Out

Posted on 05.20.09 | Melanie

On a rainy evening last week a small group of local photographers got together at the Burrito Gallery downtown for a bite to eat and to do a little “just for fun” shooting and experimenting.  It was a lot of fun just goofing off with other photographers, trying out some lighting techniques, and playing in traffic (literally).  I’d like to especially thank our models, Kari (a local photographer) and her husband Brad (who was celebrating his birthday that night)  for coming out and putting up with all our crazy antics.  I hope you all enjoy the photos we snapped that night.

Lucy just before we left the house… so cute!

The whole group (sadly the shot is pretty lousy but that’s what you get with a self timed camera balancing on a guard rail.)
