Finally made it over to the local renaissance festival again this year … The weather was perfect, people were friendly and the performers were great !

… should have the event gallery posted in a few days … stay tuned ! In the mean time, you can visit last year’s gallery here

Just finished up a two day shoot (2/23-24) covering the Dalai Lama’s visit to Nova University and Broward College …

Broward college held it’s annual financial aid workshop at central campus last Saturday morning (2/20) … BC staff provided guidance for parents and students as they navigated through the paperwork and online forms needed.

Professional Development Day occurred last Friday morning (2/19) at Broward College’s central campus … The morning began at Bailey Hall with a large awards ceremony followed with breakout sessions.

Several artists were featured last Wednesday night (2/17) during Broward College’s Black History Month art exhibit at the downtown headquarters building. It turned out to be a long work day for me … starting with overtime at the control tower (3-6am), followed by my normal FAA shift (6am-4pm), THEN the photo shoot from 6-9pm … wow !

Just finished up shooting Broward College’s annual Language of Inclusion Day. Students listened to guest speaker Dr. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s presentation on Racism and Discrimination followed by several breakout sessions and a book signing.

Broward College is sponsoring a mentoring program between volunteers and students. The program also uses a web based system to make it easier for both parties to communicate … This shoot (last Wednesday) covered the mentor orientation and introduction to the mentees.

This week has sure been a blurr ! Last Sunday (1/31) I covered an event sponsored by Ritz crackers … It had a football stadium tailgate theme (just before the Pro Bowl game) set in a Publix shopping center parking lot in Pembroke Pines. There were various football interactive activities, food and a few retired NFL quarterbacks arrived to mingle with the crowd and sign autographs. A good shoot but the weather was a bit overcast.

Last Monday was a special night at Miami Executive Aviation (OPF Airport) when Barrington Irving popped the question to his long time girlfriend Dianella. Under the ruse of an art exhibit, friends and family gathered to see the unveiling of a ’special’ painting which turned out to be a beautiful portrait of the happy couple. After a touching intro by Miami Executive’s Fabio Alexander, Barrington surprised Dianella with the proposal and ring … It was a great, fun filled night completed by a brilliant lunar halo overhead (definitely a good sign) !

All the best, B !

… just posted a gallery featuring some miscellaneous shots at MIA this year. Some good contrail images in there …
