I have a photo gig coming up that I am really looking forward to.
Every year in November Marines all over the world celebrate the birth of the Marines with a military ball. Last year I was invited to take portraits of the guests.

The program is impressive and moving. The birthday cake is cut with a saber. While the first piece is served to the guest of honor, in 2017 this was State Representative John Wray, the second piece is given to the oldest marine present, who in turn serves it to the youngest marine.

I took hundreds of pictures last year, not only portraits of the guests but also candid shots during the event. Tickets for the event are available now. Make plans to attend the this year on November 10th at the Texas Motorplex. This is one event that you do not want to miss!
