No one ever takes pictures of the guys behind the scenes. Well I do. This is Josh who tonight was producing backstage at the Gathering Place. Things stay on schedule and mics get turned on because of this guy. Everybody, round of applause and a big high-five to Josh and the other people who make this thing happen that no one ever sees.

No big story on this one. I saw this photo in my mind and decided to take it. I like it.

In all its glory, my desk. Oh, no applause?

“This is where the magic happens”, I’d say if I was on an episode of Cribs. It’s a silly place with lots of wires and things that plug in. There’s also some fun stuff. You saw one of my toys a few days ago which adorns my left speaker. A Pantone Huey is on the other one.

What else can you find. Pretend this photo is from Highlights Magazine. I read so many of those in doctor’s offices as a kid.

Ok so I’m admitting at cheating and posting this at almost 1 am but Amanda and I have been out to eat at Cilantro’s, then milkshakes with friends at Chick-fil-a, then standing in the parking lot continuing the conversation after we got kicked out, then grabbing batteries at Walmart for our seven shoots in a row this week, then getting home after midnight. And in addition to that crazy run-on sentence, I took a picture of a fully mature mullet in the wild (photo on twitpic) while at Walmart.

Now that I feel justified for being late, here’s the photo of my new Canon 24-70 f/2.8L lens that I know you’re tired of hearing me talk about on one of my 40D’s. Amanda and I took a few test shots with it today and dang this lens is hot! I can’t wait to use it for the first time on location with Joe tomorrow for day 1 of his senior portraits. He was the guitar player in the second iPhone photo of the day.

BTW, you really know Amanda is talented when she takes a photo of me I like. Just sayin’.

I keep this little dude and the lizard on one of my speakers at my desk. There are other odd items around the desk that I keep to lighten things up. Maybe the others will make an appearance soon.
