Stacey & Matt had a beautiful November day for their wedding. They chose the ACE Conference center. This was the first time I had an opportunity to work there and may I say it was great! Cheryl Anne O’Neil and her staff were just the best. Everything we needed to help the couple to get great images they did! I highly recommend this venue. Stacey and Matt are away on their honeymoon I wish them a great time and all the best!

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a local business owner is joining the fight in a very creative way. Manayunk native and internationally known artist Sandy O and her company Creative Juice Group are presenting a Breast Cancer awareness painted body shoot on Wednesday October 26th at their studio in Bridgeport, PA.
They will be painting women as well as a drag queen for this shoot. All models will be naked from the waist up. Aspiring performance artists of all stripes who would like to help increase awareness and wish to be painted are also encouraged to contact Creative Juice Group.
I recently asked Sandy O what she does and her response was “I paint naked people”. Therefore this event is a perfect fit in the fight against an awful disease. But it’s also very personal. Sandy O has not only witnessed her own mother’s courageous battle with Breast Cancer, but has also been recently diagnosed with it herself. Having spoken to her, I can tell you that she’s clearly not backing down from the fight.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of women and men are diagnosed with breast cancer. By the end of 2011, the Komen Foundation estimates there will be 38,520 breast cancer-related deaths in the United States alone. Sandy O and the other talented professional artists at Creative Juice Group remain committed to the fight.
The event will take place all day long on Wednesday with the final photos taking place around 7:00pm when all the models will be painted and ready for a grand finale shot.
Perhaps you can join them and help in the battle against Breast Cancer? Maybe you’ve seen the painted on baseball jersey’s such as the CJG model featured here? Well here’s the perfect event to attend, see how it’s done and join the cause!
As the staff at the Creative Juice Group said, “We can’t wait to bare our boobs for a good cause.”
Bravo Sandy O!

I had the opportunity to meet Dan Wheldon at Daytona in January of 2006. He had just come off the best season an Indy car driver could have. Winning the Indianapolis 500 and the Indy Car championship in 2005.
When this photo was made (Jan 2006) Dan had just singed with the Target Ganssi Racing, they and Team Penske are the two dominant teams in Indy car racing and very successful in NASCAR . Ganassi also ran two team operation in the Grand Am sports car series and their Premier event is the 24hrs of Daytona. In 2006 there were only a handful of drivers who could claim an Indy 500 win and a win in the prestigious 24hrs of Daytona. There are special races that command a certain amount of respect because of history or challenge to your ability and all drivers want to win those, The “24hrs” is one of them.
I hung around the pits after a practice session when Dan came by. I introduced myself and asked if we could do a couple of shots. The worst someone can say is no. I understand these folks are very busy and their time is precious. They have cameras in their faces constantly ,especially at a race tracks. I asked him if he could do a couple of photos with me I promised it would only be a minute. He said “sure but I must go over and talk with this guy (engineer I guess?) but I’ll be right back”,” Ok” I said . I thought that was very cool. So a few minutes later here he comes, “Hi I’m Dan”, “Hi Dan I’m Kevin Thank you for your time” “No problem” he said.
That was the first and unfortunately last time I will see Dan Wheldon. I only met him for a second really, but many drivers would or could not come out of their trailers after a meeting to do a posed photo . I thought that was really nice of him, Thanks Dan!
