Kudos to Sandy & Pierre for the great recommendation to go to the Mummers Museum in Philadelphia. We did the photo shoot Saturday morning. Joe & I took 700 photos in 2 hrs. We photographed all the costumes on exhibit. Each costume may have up to 10-15 photos to show all the details from front, back, and side angles. In the next couple of days, I will put online a few of the photos from this trip. I wish I could start right now into getting this project online BUT.
This week, I have to switch my work to costume photos from the Mobile, Alabama Mardi Gras Museum...400 photos. I want to get them on my website before I leave for Mardi Gras on March 1 and (returning March 15.) If I have extra time, (no way), I want to put online my photos from MG Day 2010 on St. Charles St., New Orleans. I am praying that the MG Museum in Biloxi, Mississippi is finally open so that I can fit in a photo shoot of their costumes. The museum was on the beach front where Hurricane Katrina hit. I did a video and photos in 1999 of their costumes but am not 100% happy with the results. I have improved my techniques. I am staying an extra week on the Gulf Coast, so I might re-shoot the costume photos for the NO MG Museum. When I return from MG, I plan to get the last of my 2010 Costume-Con photos and video online before the 2011 event.
