Headshots for Stas

I recently made some headshots for my good friend Stas, an excellent clarinet player from Uzbekistan. These are a few of my favorites. You can see the full set over on Flickr.

This is what I have to look forward to in 9 hours or so:

Tomorrow morning, it will undoubtedly look even blurrier.

Yesterday I spent about 45 minutes digging my car out of a snow fortress that had miraculously appeared thanks to the recent blizzard and the aftermath of gung-ho snow plow drivers. It was nice to do some physical work, however, and the appetite I worked up was promptly demolished with a direct action mission to Chipotle.

That being said, when it’s snowing sideways, I’m hesitant to take my camera outside. Of course! I have an opportunity to get some real work done, like polishing up Daphnis et Chloe for this week’s concerts. But alas, instead I just take some macro shots of my clarinets. I share a few of those now. The complete set is on Flickr.
