They are preparing for a dance/gymnastics recital next month. The individual shots came out okay, but I was not too pleased with the group shot. See the last photo. I put them in the shade and you can see some distinct shadows on the faces. I had already ordered a light stand and umbrella and it should be here next week. I wish that I would have had it for this little impromptu shoot. I am still working on my color/tone correction. I just can’t get it exactly right. I am learning that it is more and more important to get it right in camera.

My brother and his wife were sitting at home one night when the part of the crew knocked on their door and apologized for the mess and the noise.  They invited them to walk down to the tents for their meals for the rest of the week.  My sister-in-law has been taking full advantage of that:) I have been wanting to get down to the site and check out the house.  I worked at the Sheriff’s Office with the winner of the makeover many years ago.  His name is Sherman Heathcock and although we were not close, I always remember him being a good guy.  I do know that he was flown back from Iraq to be involved in the show.  For more information you can check out the Extreme Hattiesburg Website.

We walked down there today to see the moving of the bus.  Well, we actually saw them move the bus in practice but they were taking so long that we decided to head back to my brother’s house for some warmth!  We did run into a couple of celebrities.  Christian Slater who helped with construction and Ty Pennington ,the host of the show were on the scene.  I was able to get a few photos. There were people everywhere and we were able to slip past security and get pretty close to the action. We actually made two trips to the site today. The second time we went there were way too many people and were not able to see anything, so we headed back after getting cold.

Extreme Makeover House

The house seen on the left looks great. I am glad that they did not build something huge that would stick out in a neighborhood of somewhat smaller houses.

This is what it looked like when we arrived the second time. You could really see anything.

We can’t wait to see what it looks like on the inside and are looking forward to seeing the episode when it airs in March.
