Love working with Marah Strickland, it's always a pleasure. We have been trying some new stuff with an antique-looking "scraped up" mirror.

A 3-day drone shoot moved from this coming week to another so working on a couple of creative images. Thanks to Chuck Guthrie for the loan of his small dinghy (the Dink), to Angela Taylor for willing me her drop veil and to Ashley Soltis and Nicole Carter for participating with additional propping. Will get the housing unpacked from the Exuma Cays shoot today. Electrician replaced the main pool pump Friday. Let the juices flow....
Crew duties on S/V Morning Star included ferrying tails, people, cameras, drone and other gear to beaches from Cay to Cay every day for a week; choice assignment with even a moment to relax

Location: Some anchorage in Exuma Cays, Bahamas Islands
We spent a day here; a coaching session in the morning then shooting on two sites, the small beach just up and to left of center of the picture and a stream, sand and mangroves on the opposite side of the island. We carried ourselves and gear by dinghy to the far side, but there's a path over the island connecting the two. Interestingly, the path takes you by a large fresh water well.

Boat: S/V Morning Star with Captain (Red) Michael Salmon
One of the attendees at a recent boat-based workshop in the Caribbean. This remarkable person, who traveled from Brussels, Belgium, is the rightmost mermaid in my cover image and is one of the most likable and talented people I've ever met. Not only does she make magic in the presence of the camera, she sings like you can't imagine.

One of those things that is working well.... Instagram offers a 6x6 inch book of uploaded photos with their text and hashtags every 60 images. Price is $6 each. I received my first two today and they're beautiful. smile emoticon These are the two covers.
July and August were crazy busy months in Mexico and the Bahamas working with some extremely talented and likable people in open water, cenotes, on beaches, sandbars, ironshore and boats. Even a pool one night.
