Brian the musician

So our dear friend Brian was back in town from New York for a few days of warm temperatures and relaxation before a performance in Huntsville next week. Brian was in our wedding and he and his wife Esther are some of our closest friends. They're the ones that we went to visit in New York last summer to build the fence for their dogs. Unfortunately Esther wasn't able to make it, but she'll be coming later in the week.

We've been talking about doing photographs for a while now, so it was fun to finally have the chance to shoot together. He had some ideas and Joy and I had some ideas and we combined them to get some really fun shots.

The last time I photographed Brian was in 2001, if my memory serves me correctly. It was in front of a black sheet with some old light kit that I didn't even know how to use. I couldn't help but laugh this afternoon when after about 10 minutes of shooting he said, "wow, Garrett, it seems like you've really improved."

I hope so, Brian, I really do. :-)
