KISS and Hockey

This past weekend, I pulled off a big publicity stunt. I had my show called KISS displayed in the lobby/registration area of a large bridal show at the Marriott Marque in Atlanta. This was the area where all of the brides had to wait until the show opened. I had 16 - 30x40 inch prints of some of my favorite hot steamy kisses from weddings I have shot all over the country.

I had this show of photos on the walls of a restaurant for the last few months, but took it down the first of Jan to clean them up and get them ready to hang in another restaurant in downtown Atlanta. So , since it was not due to go in the other restaurant until the week before Valentines day, I offered it to the bridal show promoters. They bit and my work was looked at by every bride that came to the show before they saw any of the other photographers that were there. And it did not cost me a thing. And , when the brides got to my booth, they all said "We LOVE the photos in the Lobby, are you open for my wedding date?"
The photo is a little blurry, it was taken by a friend with a point and shoot camera.

The other photo is from tonight. My son and his girlfriend after his hockey game. It was their 2nd loss in the playoffs, but they sure did mop up the rink with the other team until they lost it in the last 30 seconds of the game. Oh, he was also voted unanimously by his team mates for he Players Choice Award. He plays full blown hard core. Has 54 minuets in the penalty box. More than all of the other 4 teams in the 16 and under age division have combined!
