The 2012 Turning Point Recovery Society Gala Fundraiser was the best yet! Keynote speaker Rob Lowe gave an entertaining and heartfelt talk.
I think we might have made a Canuck out of him.
Fred Lee was his normal shrinking violet, as you can see.
But really the guy is an extraordinary auctioneer.
Randene Neill of Global TV, as MC, and Brenda Plant, Turning Point Recovery Society executive director, rounded out the program.
The evening was lots of fun and a real help to a great organization.
Sometimes with actors we want to capture a couple of clearly different looks. Christopher Dickenson was such a case.
Chris can do the “bad guy” and it’s territory he likes to cover.
He also has that quiet confidence that can be quite unsettling.
Lastly, we caught a very clean cut upscale look that will serve him well.
Whenever my work needs a Photo Stylist I call on Robin Delpino. Whether it’s jewelry, cosmetics, food or liquor she always delivers. Based out of New York and Vancouver she works in the U.S. as much as here in Canada.
Robin asked me to do a portrait for her website, www.robindelpino.com and I happily agreed. She wanted something that would reflect her sense of style as well as the joy and openness she brings to her work.
I included a couple of my favorite outtakes here because they really capture not only her beauty but also her great sense of humor.
And I love the hair. It’s so cool that Robin feels no need to cover the grey.
One of the gifts of travel in India is photographing the women in smaller villages.
They carry this wonderful quality of strength and grace.
Not to mention mystery.
My work of late has given me the opportunity to photograph some amazing elders, you may have seen a couple of these in previous blogs. I recently shot a woman in her 90s and I saw that I had these three incredibly interesting subjects for a new post.
Gerald is 92. He is a retired litigator with a wicked sense of humor and a certain sartorial flare.
What can I say about Mildred? She’s 93 and the picture says it all.
Lillian, another 92 year old, kept us all in stitches. She has the most engaging laugh I’ve ever heard.
