We were very fortunate on many levels April 13th. First, we shot and spent the day photographing the very wonderful Jennifer Walden. Jennifer is the “HOTTEST” plastic surgeon who recently moved from NYC back to her home Austin, Texas. Jennifer has earned national status over the years due to her excellence and innovation in the field of plastic surgery and celebrity status including appearances with The Biggest Loser (season 11) as her surgeon and a variety of national network shows. She came back to NYC to have us shoot her. Second, the sun was out and the trees were blooming in the west village and it truly felt like Spring was finally here. Third, my 8 yr old son along with my great crew worked this shoot. And fourth, Phil of Sugarcamp productions showed up and made a cool little walk-away behind the scenes video. Who could ask for a better day.

I will be supporting an up-to-date michael black | BLACK SUN page up on facebook. My intent with this new facebook page is to in snippets share industry info for interested folk and share the “going-ons” in and around the studio. I have a lot of exciting projects that are just wrapping up, some I am in the thick of and a few very juicy ones that I am just about to dip my big toe into. You can link to via:
OK, so I have written out 10 Spring Resolutions and I am going to stick with them. Here’s #1: Show New Work. I believe one strength of myself and Black Sun is that work and deadlines come first. I can say we have a perfect track record of never missing a deadline, but that has come at a cost. Many of my shooter friends share the same ocd like qualities and the need to make sure all ducks are in a row. The cost is that with so much attention to others we typically put our own work and promotions second. So this resolution is to bust out of old habits and start cranking on showing fresh new work. Keep an eye out for Resolution #2.
