Baptisms

I shot around 30 baptisms at Journey Church yesterday evening. I'll be working with the husband and wife media team for summer. I have a meeting with the wife, Stephanie tomorrow morning. They shot all video and I was doing stills. It was really nice to have full access to this event. Pretty excited about the images, now I just need more things to shoot for the summer. 

I think I'm starting to realize that I really like shooting events, and fast paced ones at that. Longer term storytelling is challenging but it can also be draining. I've really been thinking about storytelling with everything I shoot. So short, fast paced events with storytelling seems to be somewhere I'd like to be. I'm able to focus for a good amount of time and be super into whatever I'm shooting without geting bored or distracted. Maybe this is everyone's ideal shoot, but it's making me think more about newspapers...
