I thought it would be fun to start a new post series called "Flashback Friday" in which I write down memories...not just photography-related, but sometimes little stories about life in general. So, to start off the series, here's a memory about wrought iron and Dave Matthews.
Back in 2002, while shopping at the Charlottesville, Virginia Whole Foods Market, I ran into Dave Matthews, who was also shopping. We shopped around the store together, chatting and being completely goofy, then sat in his car in the parking lot afterward and chatted a little more. He called me a couple times after that, just friendly conversation. Not that I'm generally the overly starstruck type, but I was really thrilled by this little interaction with Dave. He's such a truly nice guy! Too bad I wasn't hauling my camera through the store with me!
Later that year, I was hired by a couple of blacksmiths in Charlottesville to photograph a big, beautiful wrought iron gate they had just completed for Coran Capshaw, DMB's manager. Small world.
Happy Friday, everyone!
