The Arc Barbecue
Yesterday I posted some images of Athena and the kids at Howard Amon Park in Richland. My sister, Amanda, works for The Arc of Tri-Cities and invited us to come to their barbecue.
We had a fun time, and I asked one of my sister’s coworkers if she would like some images for the Arc to use. Happily, she said yes, and I spent the last half of the barbecue having fun, making some great images. Here are a few of my favorites:
The Arc had need of a certain image for an upcoming newsletter, and my sister helped me find some people who could help me make that image. She first thought of this wonderful lady (whose name I can’t remember — I’ll have to get it from Amanda) but when we found her she was in the middle of eating. I came back a bit later after wandering around and taking some more images, only to find that she had gone. Just as everyone was packing up, we saw her getting on the bus, and Amanda saved the day by introducing me to her. I’m glad she did — she was fun to photograph, and I made a bunch of great images! Here are two of my favorites:
Here’s Amanda, holding Kefir. He loves his auntie!
Kefir tends to get all the attention!
One of Amanda’s clients surprised her from behind and gave her a hug. I loved these images as a series, so I combined three of them into a collage. The small size of my blog images doesn’t do it justice, however, so click the image for a larger version.
Thank you to all those who helped me make these!
Oh! I almost forgot! Here are two more for you of Athena and Josiah playing after the barbecue:

Great job on these. I especially like the ones you described as your favorite. The tones in the b&w one are great. More importantly, I love that this is for a good cause. I’ve been working recently on a way to use my photo business for ministry. It looks like you’ve already had an oppourtunity!
