GTB @ Bear & Grill

On Saturday evening I headed down to Bear & Grill for a few hours to check out my favorite band play!

I have posted so many pics of the band over the last year or so that I'm not gonna do that this time - Instead just a few shots I took while there!

The outside of the restaurant pictured here!



I was really digging this whole look and thought at the time that it would look awesome in B&W!



Since I've never posted/blogged a pic of Tony, this is the perfect time! Tony stepped in to play bass while Dom ran to the bathroom!!! I think that is where he ran to! Not sure, anyways, Tony really was tight on bass and dead on! Tony, you really did an awesome job!



As always GTB is awesome to work with!

Manners Matter

I feel like I always say on such and such a day bla bla bla... :) On Saturday I had the tremendous opportunity to head on down to the Burroughs Community Center in Bridgeport to shoot the Manners Matter 2009 class!

Manners Matter is a program which teaches our youth proper etiquette! I was amazed as the students were speaking how little I knew and that I ought to attend one of these classes myself. I never knew that your plate should be two fingers from the edge of the table!

It's an awesome program - Shawna Ryan from Channel 12 News was also there covering the event!

The executive chef for the event!



A couple of the coaches!







One of the assistant chefs putting all the fixings' out!



And this little girl was absolutely adorable!



Some of the incredible food that was prepared for the event!

Jared James' Book Signing at Borders

Jared's Book "Enjoy Success Today" has been doing quite well, so much so, its on the best seller's list. Yay Jared!

This afternoon I had the pleasure of covering his book signing event at Borders in the CT Post Mall.

Here are several of my favorites from the event



Prior to Jared getting seated in the big book signing chair, we went outside for a couple of minutes!



Had to definitely take a shot from behind Jared to show the crowd!



I really am diggin this shot of Jared, one thing I really noticed is that Jared really pays attention to people when they speak, he really has an interest in hearing people's stories, which really shows who he is as a person and his character.







Jared, your book signing was a great success, as always I am wishing you the best!
