This summer was full of workshops, weddings, fires, and interns. Jonathan Kingston traveled from Bend, Oregon and taught some Photoshop classes in the gallery/studio. About 8 people attented it as an intensive workshop over the weekend.
Brooks intern Brandon Hauser assisted as second shooter and was on hold for tech-support whenever I needed him. A nature boy at heart, he loved climbing mountains and shooting the fires (see photo below). He was also great at lifting heavy objects and turning heads at weddings. My relationship with Brandon was part boss, part mentor, part friend, and part mom. Brandon is now graduated and just got a job in Alaska. Good luck Brandon!
For those of you who didn't hear, Ketchum was under siege for 2 weeks, as forest fires forced 3,000 people to evacuate their homes and businesses. The town had 1,700 firefighters camped out a the base of the mountains, and thanks to them not a single life or structure was lost. Thanks firefighters!!
Finally, the biggest wedding of the summer was downsized from 400 people to just 40 close friends and family at the parents' house because of the fires, and the family donated all the food from the reception to the firefighters. They were served filet mignon and vishyssoise, and they said they loved the steak, but why was the soup cold?
