Besides hosts Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert, the performers included: John Legend, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Jeff Toddy, Mavis Staples, The O'Jays, & Tony Bennett...Not a bad line-up huh?

Had a 415am alarm today, in order to be in the vehicle's by 445 to head out for today's sunrise shoot. Everyone made it, with smiles all around. We headed to the Pemaquid Lighthouse up here in Maine. Was a bit chilly, so gloves & layers were in order...Here's a few images of the early morning light. Enjoy

DLWS - Maine #1

Here we are in Maine for Moose Peterson's DLWS...Alarms at 5am, and in the cars by 545am to head out for the sunrise shoot. Lots of shooting going on, 35 participants, with instructors Moose Peterson, Joe McNally, Laurie Excell & Kevin Dobler. Awesome talent surrounds us all. Granted I'm here for support, as the go to guy from Adorama, but getting out to shoot every morning & late afternoon has been refreshing to say the least.
