Happy Friday!

My photography class is over and we are going to pack up and head home.  Sad somewhat that it is over as it has been a real exceptional experience filled with a variety of emotions that I will explore with you later on.  Happy to get back to familiar things, friends, and creating new experiences.

Yesterday I saw something that I found hard to comprehend even though it had been previously described to me.  Once I actually saw the venue at Hot Rod Heaven I was in utter awe.  What I found hard to comprehend is that one person can accumulate that much wealth.  I’ll show you what I found in the coming days and describe it in more detail.

We ended the day at the great Ryman Theater and enjoyed Ricky Skaggs in concert.  It was surrealistic seeing this famous performer on stage with his band watching with hundreds of other fans remembering that we had photographed together, laughed together and learned together over the last few days.

Our assignment last night was to photograph the concert.  More about that later.  The image above is Ricky waiting for Joe McNally to get his lights set up for our portrait shoot on Wednesday.

Joe is taking test shots and getting the lighting perfect.  Then he shot 40 or 50 images of Ricky for his portfolio. It was informative to learn some new tips and tricks about how to position the lighting.

This is my best image of Ricky when it was my turn.  🙂

Well gotta run.  Lots of miles to cover today and new adventures to experience.

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Enjoy your day.  Stay cool and be careful.
