What kind of photography?

When people ask me what kind of photography I do, I explain that it's most often photos that are to be reproduced someplace - maybe a magazine or newspaper, maybe an ad or a newsletter or a poster or a web page or a book jacket.

Of course, there are other places my photos turn up from time to time. Like, for instance, a series of bus shelters in Baltimore.

Official Photographer for the Big Guy

I was at a holiday party thrown by a union in Baltimore over the weekend, and they had a problem. Santa was there and so were about a zillion kids. But Santa's photographer was missing. Could I....?

You bet! When am I ever going to get a chance to play official photographer to a mall Santa again? And it was a blast. The kids were all adorable, all zillion of 'em. Of course, there's always a few who look at the Big Guy in the Red Suit and say "No Way." It's an understandable reaction. But it seems their parents still want that photo.

And if I think about it, these photos are going to be held onto long after everything else I shoot this month is history. Even if some of my subjects were less than enthusiastic.
