Keeping Things Straight

I had the pleasure to shoot John Elway's Crown and Manhattan Toyota campaign shots last week for David with Handcrafted Media. Working with him, as always, is just a darn great time. We really had great models, hair make-up crew and I also had the pleasure of meeting John's wife, Paige. She is as beautiful of a person as she looks.

BUT the best part of this gig was having my son, Zach, be my grip and assistant. We had a blast together preparing, hanging out before and after the shoot, and working together. While growing up he only heard about the shoots I was doing, he finally got to see his ol’ dad in action.

I think he enjoyed working with me, but as you can see by the look on his face working side by side with John Elway was really the highlight of his day...here he is holding a ruler so John would have a guide to help him stand perfectly straight. This shot will be used for a "live" 6'-3" high cutout of Mr. Elway.
