Picture of the week 12/06/10 Boxer

I had the opportunity to make it down to the DeMotte Boxing Club last week for a photo shoot. Coach Jimmy, who is the founder of the gym, was gracious enough to give me some of his time to work on my skills. The Coach has a big fight coming up this Friday and is looking lean and mean.

DeMotte Boxing Club photos

If you are here looking for the photo's from last nights Silver Gloves Fundraiser I will get them up as soon as all the photo releases are signed and on file at the DeMotte Boxing Club. I will not post photos of minors without parents permission. As my relationship with the Club continues I will be refining the process of making the photos available as smooth as possible. Thanks for all the kind words and thanks to Coach Jimmy, Renee, Chris Guzman and all the the others who helped out last night.  It was a great event and I look forward to seeing you all again. Thanks!

One other thing I'd like to mention - I made a small change with the domain www.surlycamera.com
This address used to come here to the blog and now it goes right to the main gallery page. The blog is still surlycamera.blogspot.com My business cards have www.surlycamera.com on them and if folks have a business card they are looking for the images so that takes them there first. There is a link to the blog from there, of course. I hope this does not cause any confusion.

Coach

I'm coming down from some anesthesia so if I promise to pick anyone up from the airport or loan you some cash don't believe it. I went down to the boxing club for some test shooting last week and I got a head start on my lighting set up. I did two arrangements with the lights and I'm pretty happy with this one. All my gear worked with one minor snag so that was a success also. The pugilist in the photo above is one of the coaches at the gym who was kind enough to model for me as I was setting up. He is also a craftsman, and my father. Thanks Chief. That's all for today. I'd love to wax poetic about this but I have to make dinner. I mean, it was outpatient surgery why should I not have to work? Rock on.
