Monday morning Peoria greetings to all!

I had the pleasure last week of having some of the young people from the Peoria Ballet out to my studio for a shoot! They’ve got a number of upcoming events including a show in Washington, Illinois that’s going to be a ballet to rock music! Doesn’t that sound like a lot of fun? The group spent a number of hours out here at the studio and we had them go through a bunch of their different poses and also some costume changes as well!

The other thing that blew me away about all of this was the very nice thank you note that the group had written to me! I was very moved by that and I don’t always get a thank you, so that was pretty special indeed!

Here’s a composite of images from the day with all of the young people doing there thing!!!!

Thanks again to the Peoria Ballet for coming out to my studio and making my day!!!!! You all rock!!!!!!

President’s Day Monday morning Peoria greetings to all,

I had a great time visiting with my folks in New Mexico this past week and it’s always good to be back home as well!!!

Springtime is here! How can I be so certain you might ask? Next Sunday is the Daytona 500 and when I think of spring, that’s the start of a lot of great sporting events from the “Great American Race” to “March Madness” to the Masters!!! The flowers are about ready to bloom!!!!

When I’m out visiting my folks in Las Cruces, I always try to get out everyday and shoot photos of the area and one of the places that I’d never visited was Hueco Tanks State Park just outside of El Paso, Tx. It’s a very interesting area that has a lot of history from the Indians and their pictographs to a stop on the Butterfield Stage. It’s also become one of the premier rock climbing places in the US and you’ll see climbers doing there thing. They call it Bouldering and it’s pretty cool to watch them! They do limit the amount of people in the park everyday, so you need to make a reservation before you visit or be prepared to wait if the park is full!

Here’s are a couple of my snaps from the day spent at Hueco Tanks!!!!

I hope that you have a great week and thanks as always for taking the time to check out my work, I really do appreciate it!!!!

Monday morning greetings from Las Cruces, New Mexico!!!

I was shooting up in Chicago last week for a new client, Lawrence Foods. We were shooting photos of a food product called “Fondant“, it’s a type of icing that’s used to decorate cakes and pastries! We had about 10 cakes that were all done up in different styles, so it was fun to see what the cake decorator had created! In these four photos, what you’re seeing is Fondant! http://kevinmay.com/kmclaw13feb12.jpg

I very much appreciate your taking the time to check out my weekly photos and I hope that you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy sharing them!!!

Have a great week to come!!!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to all!

Did you survive your Super Bowl party yesterday? I hope so!!!!

I remember growing up and always loving muscle cars from the 60’s and 70’s!!! I was fortunate to have one of these babies in the studio on Super Bowl Sunday and it was great! The guys at the Custom Shop in Flanagan, Il. have created a real beast with a totally custom and tricked out 1968 Camaro SS. Besides doing a number of incredible modifications to the body, they dropped in a monstrous LSX 376 engine with a supercharger and this puppy is putting out 800 horsepower! Not bad! The car was just out in Las Vegas at the SEMA show and this coming weekend it will be up at the Chicago Auto Show if you want to see it in person!

Here’s one of my snaps of this beautiful 68 SS Camaro!!!!!

I hope that you have a great week to come and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!!
