I was definitely not this cool in 8th grade!

8th Grade Formal and these kids came out in their finest.

Last minute phone calls is the reason why I keep a camera and flash set camera always charged. I was driving around taking care of print clients and I get a call to come and shoot some pre dance photos. I was thinking its early for a prom and then was told it was a 8th grade dance.


My 8th Grade Dance was in the middle school cafeteria over 20 years ago. And I did have on a collard shirt and slacks. Probably took a Cab there because my parents worked. But last night they came in Limousines and all types of exotic mom and dad trucks. "Dressed to the nines" in their finest apparel.


I did not stay long because that would have been creepy these kids are about 14 - 15 years old I think.

I had the chance to attend a Robert Glasper concert, thanks to Bonnie Cannon Executive Director at Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center and the wonderful people at the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center. No photos were taken of the performance because it was such an intimate theater. It was a great event and part of the Hamptons Jazz Summer Series.
