Conclusion of What You've Been Waiting For.

Continuing my award-winning coverage of The Previous Weekend That Was, I shall talk about The Museum Shoot. You see, I have the best client in the whole world, Anne West and her cute family, which I've photographed several times. She organized a Family Day Event at the Portland Art Museum to celebrate the La volupte du gout: French Painting in the Age of Madame de Pompadour current exhibition. Tea parties were served, paintings were done, ballet lessons were learned, and all sorts of fun was had. They did not expect about 1,800 people to attend!

Anne and her team arranged a scene loosely based on the style of the paintings. The families would dress up in costumes and snap a picture. And that was my job :). The doors opened at 1:00PM and in just five minutes I was surrounded by dozens of parents and kids awaiting to be photographed. Holy moly. Didn't even have time to adjust the lighting with the built-frame {That up there is a VERY ROUGH EDIT, for I will need to work on them quite heavily due to the frame and little space I had to shoot}.

This went on for three hours, non-stop. I had half a sandwich in my stomach from HOURS before, I'm so glad to have made it through with high energies! Everybody had so much fun. Anne did a spectacular job out of organizing the whole event. Much thanks to all the awesome docents who helped me out (I had FIVE of them!).

After the event was done and I packed my rented equipment into my car I was so happy I felt like going for a run around downtown. Thankfully I remembered that half-sandwich in my stomach + running = Fainting. So, no running. But I did have a delicious Vietnamese meal with Linnea and Lesley. The L Girls.

And that concludes the weekend of March 22nd. This weekend of March 28th is ISOLATION WEEKEND SO THAT I CAN GET WORK DONE. Even though I've already had THREE INVITATIONS to socialize. TEMPTATIONS, TEMPTATIONS!
