When half of your assignments are outdoors, you are constantly watching the weather channel or checking out weather.com.
I literally had about three hours of sunshine my entire week in Winchester. And it all came at once.
I was shooting a group portrait of Winchester's mayor, a judge and the superintendent of schools when I noticed the sun starting to pop through the clouds. I wrapped up the shoot as quickly as I could and threw my gear in the trunk. I jumped in my car and made a mad dash across Clark County. I tried to photograph as much as I could because I didn't know how long the sunlight was going to last.
As I was getting ready to photograph a martial arts class Monday night, I noticed an old theater across the street in downtown Winchester. It had a good-sized marquee and some cool neon lights. Unfortunately, I knew it had been shot for one of the previous magazines, so I looked for a different angle. I crammed myself against a Chevy Lumina parked on the side of the street and arched back as far as I could to get this shot.
