I had a great time photographing Sascha Paladino and his brother, banjo virtuouso Bela Fleck, during their presentation of their film Throw Down Your Heart. Throw Down Your Heart follows Fleck on his journey to Africa to explore the little known African roots of the banjo and record an album. The film celebrates the beauty and complexity of Africa - an Africa that is very different from what is often seen in the media today. Check it out by clicking HERE. Thanks to both - and their dad- for stepping onto the set...it was great to meet you.

Next up, a quick post of young Michael, who was a pleasure to work with while making his portrait on a local beach. His mom must have been very proud of him, as he was wonderfully spirited and cooperative during our forty minutes together. . .and the images we captured together as a result really let that show. Thanks, you guys!

Otherwise, I'm backed up again as usual. Lots of event coverage to post, as well as some super fun portrait sessions, after I survive the upcoming week...
