Bucket of Honey = Barrel of Laughs

  This was a fun photo shoot. There have been some very difficult shoots lately, but this one was creative, wacky, and enjoyable. Annie, who you may recognize from previous posts, recently started a band with her roommate. bucket of honey 4The sound is a mix of comedic banter, peppy and re-worked cover songs, and a small roster of original songs. I was able to catch a show last Saturday, and enjoyed the hell out of it. Seeing them perform really helped me conceptualize the shoot. As a result, I think we managed to come up with something interesting and unique to the stuff I normally take. The three main things we were going for;

- Interesting
- Unusual
- a series that mimicked the band Swell Season (from the movie “Once”)

The more I view these, the more I love them. They are creative, interesting and reflect great talent. Annie might be my favorite of your subjects, she photographs so well.
