The Eve, of New Years Eve

This was downtown Jacksonville, on December 30th, at The Jacksonville Landing... the eve of New Years Eve

Back in April I photographed the first wedding at the Jacksonville Landing. At that wedding there was a live band, the band was Southbound Trucker. Southbound is lead by the ever handsome Brady Clampitt. Don't let that last name fool you, Brady plays the lead guitar, sings (with a great voice might I add) and is blond with blue eyes. The only times I've seen the band they were at the Landing doing cover songs for entertainment. The band doesn't have a website yet but you can visit their MySpace page.... Southbound Trucker

Here are some photos from their gig that night. Brady asked me to take a few photos of them preforming live. The Jacksonville Landing Christmas Tree was still up and lit behind them but I tried to get "as little Christmas as possible" :)

Here are some of my fav's from the night


























Before Southbound went on, there was another group there singing Motown music, since I was there anyway figured I might as well work a little instead of sitting around being bored waiting for the band I was there to photograph came on.... Here are a few of Str8 Up's performance.

for u and i

Earlier this year I met a remarkably beautiful woman named Priscilla or Cilla for short. She took advantage of some specials I was doing when I first started out and vowed to be my best client, and she is! Her and her brother Keith sing in a band "for u and i" So, for the 4th time in 2007 Cilla has hired me again! this time for formal band photos. The band is a dark, Christian based, rock band; so naturally they wanted their photos to reflect who they are. I'm very excited for them, I've listened to their music and have to say they are pretty darn good! I'll be even more excited to see if one of my photos makes it onto a huge poster or flyer for the band or even the CD cover!!!! woohoo!

Priscilla!



Keith!
The BAND!!!!




More photos on on my MySpace page! Check 'em out!

Miss. Pink Cilla

My ever so faithful client. I love this girl. I met her through MySpace, I built a page for my business and started to seek out friends for the page via my brother and sister. Priscilla happened to be on my brothers page as a friend at the time, I sent her a friends request she accepted. Come to find out she's in a band, she's the lead singer. She's a great Christian girl who is just a ton of fun to be around. I did some test photos for her band almost a year ago now, then some solo photos of her in St. Augustine. She's turning 20 this month and wanted some more mature photos of herself since she's officially no longer a teenager! "Naturally I'm coming to you" Priscilla tells me. We spend an afternoon through the downtown area of Jacksonville taking her solo photos. They came out so great. She's such an easy subject and the camera just loves her.
