Playing In The Park
Headed back to a familiar place for this shoot, Overton Park. This was one of the handful of times I shot outside during the last month & a 1/2 (due to the fact that it's usually 4,273° outside). My subject this time around was Reva, a super awesome lady I work with. We met up at 7 in the evening thinking the temp would be cooler. Well instead of it being 4,273° it was closer to 2,732° (which is still too freakin' hot). Plan A was to shoot some stuff in the forest but the humidity made me scratch that idea. Plan B was to head to the shaded area over by the museum but unbeknownst to me there was a concert going on around the corner and there was nowhere to park. So went settled on Plan C which was the playground. Here's a general rule for taking pictures at a playground as a dude; make sure you have a pretty girl with you so you don't get the cops called on you. When we actually started it just turned into playtime. You know just a couple of 6ft tall adults in their mid 20's running around & climbing up stuff. We all know I'm mean looking and don't like children, but apparently all the women I hang out with do. So as usual, Reva attracted a flock of kids at one point. So even wing(wo)maned for this little blonde kid that was playing with another little girl. Let take the time to reiterate how hot it was. I had to break out the sweat rag after like 15 minutes. If she decided to actually wear make-up we probably would have had a disaster on our hands but we dodged that bullet. It was super fun and we ended up not melting so it was successful day.
