PHOTO SESSION...

Bo Derek
_
Now that I have your attention, my photo shoot was yesterday morning on a ranch. And although Bo Derek wasn't my photographer, I have to think that Bo would have easily approved of the two girls who shot me for two hours--Sydney and Heather. They were terrific and I felt very comfortable and confident with them.

We started the morning with coffee and a discussion of images that I had in mind. Then it was their turn. I had already seen their portfolio and it was the best I've seen in years. We shot at least 40 images to consider for the website, and we're also talking about a possible slide show presentation set to music. They wanted to capture me playing my acoustic guitar and I was on the spot. So I went with a song called "The Last Thing To Go" by Kris Kristofferson. It was very cold that early in the morning, and fortunately my health cooperated (I am no longer contagious with the Flu bug). Next weekend, we'll meet (with more coffee) to discuss the shots. I am excited. It was good fun getting some new images together. I hope it worked.

Last note: Would you please consider keeping two dear friends of mine in your thoughts and prayers? They are 3 year-old Trevor Tredaway and singer/songwriter David M. Bailey. Both have had major surgeries lately and I don't want them to be forgotten. Each is on the mend and the news is good! Thanks ever so much! You guys ROCK!!!

Glenn: Sydney caled me last night and said she has been swamped but did not want me to think that I was forgotten. Her preliminary look at the shots look promising! "Film at 11". Thanks again, Glenn!
