A Day At The Circus {for Kenya}

I remember riding on an elephant and little else. I’m sure there were tight rope walkers, acrobats, ring masters, lions, and tigers and bears, oh my, involved. I think the tickets were given to us by a patron of my parents’ restaurant and that’s one of the only times I’ve been to the circus.

When my friend and favorite model, Kaylie, asked me to be the lead photographer at a fundraiser she was styling for her trip to Kenya, I was honored and happy to help. No elephants this time (and I can’t say I wasn’t relieved…) but plenty of costumes, acrobats and fun.

Thanks to Tony Moura and Angela Dietz for amazing makeup, Dianna Lopez for awesome hair and to the LA Circus for the amazing costumes.

In other news, I’m almost at 2,000 comments on this blog! I think I should have a commenting contest. Lemme think of a prize…stay tuned.

Dear John, err..I mean, Blog (and June OC SmugMug Meeting)

Dear Poor Neglected Blog,

So sorry I’ve been avoiding you lately, but I’ve simply been having just too much fun without you. This isn’t a break up and we aren’t “on a break” but I think we might need to see less of each other this summer. Oh, I’ll still visit at least once or twice a week, but it might be at random times. I am not seeing anyone else, I just need some “ME” time. Hope you understand.

XOXO,

Hanssie

BREAK IT DOWN!
Break it down is a practical program designed by Roberto Valenzuela to serve as a guide to breaking down the challenges and harnessing the hidden opportunities presented by any location or pose. For every challenging situation, there are many opportunities hidden beneath. This seminar will help you find just that. During the program, Roberto will show you how you can break down poses and locations based on colors, geometric shapes, balance, angles, symmetry, converging lines, and overall impact value. Never run out of ideas again!
Roberto is a 50-time International award winning photographer, 3-time 1st place winner, and a WPPI print competition judge.
Roberto just got listed by Junebug weddings as one of the top wedding photographers in the world.
