Last night was the third Jacksonville PUG meeting. For those of you who aren't photographers, PUG is short for Pictage Users Group. Its a great way for local photographers to meet up and network as well as learn some fun new techniques. After the dinner and meeting at Cafe Carmon in San Marco our huge group ventured out into the foggy night air to practice some lighting techniques and shoot at night. The lovely Cassie Cherneski of Flaire Weddings and her husband, John, graciously modeled for us. I have to hand it to these two. It is not easy being the center of attention for 30 photographers. It was like paparazzi out there. They did a wonderful job and didn't complain about the cold once. Here are a few shots that I captured.
Some "photogs in action" shots
This one has to be one of my favorites of my sweet friend Corinna. I love the light streaming from behind her.
Danielle checking out her work
It was so great meeting all of the new faces who came out last night as well as being able to catch up with old friends. Jacksonville really does have a fantastic photography community.

These rock, Mel! Love the textures too!! I have no earthly idea on how to do those! LOL Haha.. that's a cool shot of myself thinking hard (or probably talking to my camera--hah!!).

Awesome shots, looks like fun!
Thanks everyone for all the wonderful compliments. I like how the textures turned out too. They always look extra dramatic at night and really seemed to compliment the foggy atmosphere we had.
Hi Cassie... we will just have to get together another time to make up for the lack of chit chat last night. :)
Thanks Tara... it was a lot of fun. Especially getting a chance to talk to people I don't see often.
Dave & Kimi - I cannot tell you how often I sang "dong dong dong dong dong" to the tune of Sisco's Thong Song last night. In my head of course but yeah... lots of dongage. Jacksonville loves Gary Fong for sure! :)
Awesome work! And I bet mr. fong is very pleased with himself and his little dome;)
