2 new pics in the portrait section!

I finally shot Paul the Rolling Elvi. Also shot the well known Josh Wexler last week. Check the portrait section of my site for the final choices. Click the jump for a couple of outtakes and some info.

Paul and I work together at the other job. He's an original member of the Krewe of the Rolling Elvi. They are a Mardi Gras Krewe that rolls in the Muses Parade. Paul is generally a calm and reserved person and I am inclined to think that this is his alter ego. He was a natural and really hammed it up for me during the shoot. I wanted to shoot it so that it looked like I just found this guy riding around the side streets (Which Paul has been known to do). I can only hope that you could be so lucky as to be in New Orleans and see the Rolling Elvi... roll by. Seeing them during Muses is a treat but seeing 70 or so of them roll by in full regalia on a random day is a moment of hilarity that will be cherished for years. I'm hoping to shoot all 75 current members at once sometime soon. They have also asked me to be the official photographer for them during the Muses parade. Here's an outtake.

Josh Wexler gives piano lessons and also plays piano in a band called The Soft Shoes. He has a dog named Lenny Bruce. We met up before the shoot at a "quaint" little dive bar. Everyone kept calling Lenny over to pet him and I kept turning my head thinking they were talking to me... It seems that Josh knows everyone. I met him about 6 months ago and I am amazed that it took me so long to meet him since he's friends with pretty much everyone I know. Josh had told me a few days before that a bunch of people wanted to come to the shoot and watch it go down. So I was expecting there to be 20 critics on hand. Fortunately that wasn't the case. We shot at a coffee shop where Josh and Lenny can be found just about every afternoon called the Rue de la Course. Thanks to Jerry and the staff for letting us shoot there. Here's an outtake.
