Taking a Laugh Break

Tony, Reggie, and Matt on set and ready for their close-up.

With the SoFoBoMo Challenge, along with all of its editing of food photos, almost behind me I felt the need to post a photo that makes me giggle. It was taken on set yesterday when shooting for the hilarious weekly webseries, Willard Beach The Real Story. A happy distraction between my book deadline and a tiny wedding ceremony I will shoot later today. And a good reminder of how important it is to make sure your headband matches your bike.



Willard Beach, The Real Story airs every WEDNESDAY and tells the tale of life in a small town beach community with clever quirkiness and crafty humor. Catch it here - http://willardbeach.tv/

Lights, Camera, Action!

And away we go! Here it is folks, the day so many of you have been waiting for. The day when local production company Gitgo Productions (Kate Kiminski and Betsy Carson) launches its highly anticipated and totally hilarious web series 'Willard Beach, The Real Story.'

Ok, so it launches tomorrow, April 1st (no, this is not a joke), but I wanted to give you just a tiny bit of warning.

There is something for everyone in this fun new web series, from gossip to local celebrities to lover's quarrels to what happens in everyday, small town America where everyone knows your business. It also features really good looking, local talent hanging out in fun Portland landmarks (think: Q Street Diner, Enterprise Records, Empire Dine & Dance...).

It's comedy meets quirkiness meets soap opera meets satire. And just so you don't forget, it's called WILLARD BEACH, THE REAL STORY. You can learn more here and here. You should probably bookmark those two things so you can be sure to tune in every week. That way you'll always have something to discuss at the water cooler.

And why am I telling you all this? Because I'm the project's still photographer. Oh, and because I know a good thing when I see it and I wouldn't want you to miss out.
