I finally had a photo shoot yesterday. I haven’t had one in a long time. I’ve been concentrating on W. as my model the last few months. I won’t ever tire of looking at and working on photos of him but others might want to see something new. My artist friend Bob and I coordinated two models to work with. They worked very well together for only meeting at the shoot. Both Bob and I got some really nice photos. I took over 500 photos but as any photographer knows, you can take hundreds and hundreds of photos and only get a handful that you want to use.
W. and I will be going down to visit Bob for another photo shoot next weekend. We’ll be working with one of the same models we worked with yesterday but this time the photos will be taken outside in the woods. While there W. and I plan to stay the night at a local B&B and visit Ingleside Vineyards. It should be a fun weekend. Click on the photo above to see the photos from my latest shoot.
Last night W. and I got dressed up (that’s us in the picture) and he took me to a wonderful italian restaurant for dinner. W. picked out a delicious red wine to have with our dinner. It was very nice. Today W. and I went on a few wine tastings in the Virginia countryside. We were headed to Grey Ghost Winery to pick up a case of wine W. had reserved but decided to stop at Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run, Virginia. There we tasted several wines and I picked up a bottle of their 2003 Viognier. I can’t remember what kind W. bought. I think it was a red but I’m not sure. Then we went on to Grey Ghost and enjoyed their current tasting. We had a nice lunch that W. prepared with a bottle of their Victorian White. Before leaving we picked up W.’s case and I bought a bottle of their Vidal Blanc. My wine collection continues to grow! After the wine tastings we drove a little further down the road to Sperryville Virginia and went to a small art gallery to see some local art. There were a few pieces there I would have loved to buy but there’s no way I could afford them on my salary. We had a wonderful weekend and the weather was perfect. Next weekend should be just as enjoyable.
On another note, big hugs to Homer. I’m thinkin about you!
