Ike broke his collar bone a week ago today.  Last night I asked if I could document his injury.  He willing obliged (he is over having his photo taken).  Injury occurred on the first nice day/evening we’ve had this year.  A game of hide & seek in the back yard.  One nasty spill landing on his right shoulder.  Spike came running in the house with an accurate diagnosis “I think he broke his collar bone, I heard it snap”.  Thankfully our neighbor was home.  She is a PA who works ER.  We were able to get him in a make shift splint and head to the pediatricians office.  X-ray’s confirmed Spike’s diagnosis.  It is a complete separation.

How this was shot:  One strobe light with a 10 degree grid on cyc wall.  Modified ghetto style… whole cut in black construction paper.

They put him in a figure of eight splint which he wears under his shirt.

How this was shot:  Three strobe lights firing.  Key light with a large softbox.  Shot on cyc wall.

If you’re enjoying green beer tonight, hope you stay on your feet!

Big brother Mr C.  We connected on so many levels… scouts, pinball, cars.

I can’t remember who said something to crack these two up.

Who would have guessed that a bribe would work on  this handsome guy.

Mom was the role model parent, I can’t thank you enough.  It was a pleasure to meet your family.  Mr C… next time we’ll schedule it so that our session ends with a pinball game!
