Dear Dave,

So shooting with Austin yesterday was really fun. An incredibly nice guy, with a great smile (and aspiring actor).

It's really interesting to see how these shoots work. They typically follow a similar pattern: rough start followed by great finish. We get into a groove, and everything clicks, and the shots really come out so much better.

Somewhere along the way (after he put on the pirate shirt), he just started to shine. I guess he became more comfortable in front of the camera. Whatever it was - I'm really happy with the results. A fun moment in time.

I'm kind of bummed that I ended up using my same background spot, but it seems to work well each time. really strange.

Anyway, weekend at the Hamptons is fast approaching. There are things to do!
