DZ Artworks: October 2008

Noel and Lily

Last week, my beautiful cousin, Noel Homer came to the east coast for a visit. She has lived on the west coast in and around Seattle, Washington most (if not all) of her life. I do not get to see her often so I thought it would be cool to get some photographs of her and had my Aunt Martha's property (our wedding location) at my disposal. I paired Noel up with my little cousin, Lily, who just so happens to be another beautiful cousin of mine. It's easy to take good photographs when you work with very photogenic individuals. Here are the best shots of the day...enjoy

If anyone is interested in getting a photo shoot done don't hesitate to call (717-701-0363) or email (danielle.zeigler@dzartworks.com). Fall is upon us and the leaves are turning amazing shades of orange and can create beautiful backdrops for photos. It won't last forever so make sure to schedule with me soon! You can have prints made for the relatives just in time for Thanksgiving! (or get an early start on Christmas photos for cards or presents)

Post Noel and Lily, I made an attempt to photograph my Aunt Martha's new pups and only one was cooperative...meet J.J. Browning

Last week I was given the opportunity to photograph one of the biggest climbing/music events in the country called the Nor'easter Fest presented by Eastern Mountain Sports. My good friend Dave Toth was asked to take on the event and had another event to cover so he sent me in his absence. I thank Dave, for without his recommendation I would not have had this once in a life time opportunity.

Eastern Mountain Sports and NE2C put together an incredible bash at Tenney Mountain, Plymouth, New Hampshire last weekend. The tropical storms tried to rain on our parade but despite the wet weather a good time was had by all. It was disappointing that there was no climbing going on the entire weekend but all the activities made up for it. Pro climbers put on lectures and the new amazing film Dosage V by Big Up Productions was shown Saturday morning until the bands began playing. This all-day music festival featured Oneside, Three Tall Pines, Bombsquad, Adam Ezra, Entrain, The Rustic Overtones and the featured band of the night, State Radio.

In between bands the pro climbers got their energy out by engaging in several games of dogdeball. It was quite entertaining but I was definitely jealous that I could not join in......i was on the job and thought it best to capture every moment.

I did take time out to hang in the VIP tent where i was introduced to the real VIPs like Dave Graham, Kevin Jorgensen, Tim Kemple, and Daniel Woods just to name a few. The first night I was pretty much star struck.......well actually the whole weekend I just couldn't believe who I was surrounded by.......but at the same time there was one person missing...Dann. I hope that my work will ensure more big event opportunities and next time I can share it with Dann.

Here are the highlights from the past weekend.......would you hire me?
