Did You Say 830?

Yes. So 830 pictures later I put my camera away, left Jersey Village High School, and went home exhausted. A good four hours of taking picture in a darkened theater will do that to you. What was I doing you ask? I was taking pictures at the Mr. Falcon Contest, a boys beauty contest which is a major fund raiser for the senior class. This fund raiser is for their prom.

There were 26 contestants competing for the honor of being selected as Mr. Falcon. Only seniors are eligible for a nomination into the competition. I also took pictures for a calendar that was also part of the Mr Falcon contest.

So there you have it. Four hours of taking picture wrapped up into less than 10 minutes. Aren’t you glad you waited for the video? Oh, if you were there and are interested in purchasing a picture from the event, click on over here to my online store for a review of the pictures and you can have some for your very own.

Did you like the videos? If so, drop me a comment below and share the love. Tell your friends at school so they can enjoy it too.

As I said earlier, I think we got some great pictures of Lindsey, Kelly, Libby and their dates. I enjoyed spending an hour photographing you all in your prom attire.

I hope you had a wonderful evening with great memories. All the best on your future endeavors. Here are the results.

The Group

Got a call a couple of weeks ago from a friend of my parents. Her daughter is graduating this year. Although she has already taken her senior pictures, she wanted to get some pictures taken of her daughter & date before dinner the night of the prom.

As the weeks passed, the number of people grew. It ended up being pictures of her daughter and two of her friends and their dates, etc. The more the merrier, right? The location was for the pictures was at a local restaurant called Nino’s. It is actually a trio of Italian restaurants on the same block that shares a little courtyard/fountain garden. Gives it that feeling of being in a small Italian village. My wife and friends had eaten there before. Good food. We took the pictures last night.

So we show up early to meet our friend’s, their daughter, Lindsey, and her date. Now, I am comfortable with people watching me work, even in public. So when I looked around, no big deal. But get ready to do the math with me. OK, we have the Lindsey, her date, her parents and Lindsey’s two girlfriends & their dates of whom I am also taking pictures. Oh, and their parents too. With me so far? The group was growing all the while I am clicking away.

When I finally got the shots in the camera, I looked around and Wow! There was a total of seven couples going to dinner, I believe the parents of all the girls were there at the restaurant. It was like when you see a wedding party and entourage show up at the reception. One big group of people milling around. I got some great shots. Stay tuned…
