Snow Birds

I just finished assisting Chicago's well respected photographer Ryan Robinson on a shoot today at our local lawn bowling tournament. One of Ryan's many series which he plans for publication is on our Fall Snow Birds. Yes, the tan dude that walks your beach in that hot pink speedo. Dont let his idea of photographing "older folks" turn you away. I mean his series of portraits show the true faces of we what we call "Snow Birds" and gives them such dignity and pride.

You dont get to do things like this everyday, which means you cant take it for granite. I learned alot not only about photography and that a lawn bowling ball isnt a complete circle but alot about the future.

Heres some of his on going projects. The links wouldnt work so work with me and dont be lazy, copy and paste.
Check them out for yourself though, im sure youll be hearing more about him soon.
