Firefighter calendar kick off party & new video

Another photo from one of my sessions for the 2010 Austin Firefighters Calendar. My images will illustrate the March, April, May and January months. See my September postings for more photos.

The calendar release & signing party is this Thursday, November 12 at Cool River Cafe on Parmer starting at 6:30pm.

Below is a new version of my "behind-the-scenes" video from the calendar shoot (new music). It combines time-lapse footage plus stills from the sessions. Be sure to have your speakers on for the subtle background music.

More Austin Firefighter Calendar samples

Here are samples of the other three firefighters I photographed for the 2009 Austin Firefighter Calendar (see the 8/26/09 posting for more info).

Coming soon: "behind-the-scenes" video of the photo shoots.

Sample from Firefighter Shoot; August 25, 2009

I will be photographing four of our local firefighters for the 2009 Austin Firefighters Calendar, a fund raising effort for the AF Relief and Outreach Fund. The fund provides assistance to firefighters and their families impacted by injury, illness, or death, as well as aid to other citizens in need.

Here are a couple of samples of firefighter Todd Heiser of Engine 11. Our session was at the Zilker Botanical Gardens. I extend my thanks to Todd and his three colleagues who I have worked with this week (don't worry, the others will be represented in my blog in turn). We are lucky to have such folks protecting us and our homes!

Hi ya'll (if anyone is still reading this!); as you have figured out, I have not been attending to my blog or my project. In all honesty, it turned out to be more than I could fit in each day, what with trying to make a living.

I don't like the thought of dropping my project all together so I am trying to formulate a different approach. I will probably have to modify the project to where I may post a photo every day, but not necessarily TAKE a photo everyday.

It will probably August before I can get going again so I hope you'll tune back in then.

Thanks!

Matt
