Tony--Senior 2014

Tony is just awesome.  He is a Senior from  Clarinda, a nearby town, and he has very diverse interests and a completely relaxed attitude about having his portrait made.  He went along with whatever I or his Mom suggested, and brought some great props that truly represent his interests.  We ended up working in the Studio for about an hour and a half, then heading out to steaming Waubonsie for some great shots climbing trees, down by the small pond there, and up in the tall grass during sunset.  He even agreed to wear his leather jacket in a pile of brown, crispy leaves, although we were all dripping sweat.  A science fiction and horror fan, Tony was able to chat with me about Star Trek, Star Wars (sorry, Lucas, although I really enjoy your movies, Trek wins for me), The Evil Dead, and various other topics, as well as life in marching band (I was a band geek, too).  We had a great time, and, Tony, don't forget to watch the original Star Trek series episode Space Seed, then follow up with a look at the Star Trek movie The Wrath Of Khan to get the Kan Noonian Singh history...
