RIT Alumni are amazing. From tech photo guru Andrew Davidhazy to Pixar animator (he did Jessi in Toy Story 2 and Mater in Cars!) Michael Krummhoefener and the entire group shared wonderful stories of their success and years at RIT. I wish I had time to properly rave about each one, but at least you can enjoy my Photos HERE
Every year I get to celebrate the joys and sorrows of the Jewish community here in Rochester. Recently we had the Yom HaShoah (holocaust) remembrance, but most events are the lively joyous family events and famous visitors (see my entry on Leonard Nimoy HERE)
The event this week combines both aspects as we remember the fallen in Israel’s wars, but also party with an Israeli musician as we celebrate the 59th year of independence.
Great fun and couldn’t be more visual for my photos, eh 
I love doing these event books because they really show off the whole range of photos from an event and let me add the creative detail photos and ‘quiet/behind the scenes moments’ that I love to shoot.
If you hover over the example above, there are some captions here and there. Also, clicking on it will take you to a web page where you can see all of the photos. The first shots are from the Highland Hospital Gala and later are from RIT. I create the books in Apple’s Aperture software.
I’m doing 7 books for RIT Alumni from the even I shoot tonight, so you know what I’ll be doing Monday.
And the price I charge right now is just $100 to create the book (which honestly takes 2-3 hours or more), and then $100 per printed, hardcover 8.5×11″ book. I’m sure in time those prices will have to go up, but I’m thrilled clients are getting into the idea more and more.
It was a sellout event from the start as so many people wanted to show their support for the renaissance of Highland.
It was a fun evening with everything, including a fashion show of custom dresses by one of Highland’s own docs! And everyone was prepped by Scott Miller Salon. Add in honarary chairs Wendell Castle & Nancy Jurs dancing and donating a tour of their studio… and you know it was a cool party
Thanks so much to my friends at the URMC that recommended me for this Highland event… I had a great evening!
