 i'm not supposed to post these, so i'm hiding them in my workshop folder. shhhh.

woot! i had like 10 whole minutes to shoot with peyton manning. i know these aren't really thrilling, but i was specifically told "nothing fancy."

these are ad shots that will be clipped and put on everything from stickers to billboards. "nothing fancy."

i know he practically has a halo and everything, but it's hard for me to buy into someone's celebrity. it's way more exciting for me to say "i took photos of peyton manning" than it is to say "i met peyton manning."

truth be told, though, for someone who is a gazillionaire and who thousands of people would like to meet, he's totally humble and really nice. he thanked every person on the crew individually, remembered names of people he'd met before (he recognized me, but never knew my name until yesterday), and shook everyone's hand. he doesn't have an entourage, drives himself around, and showed up 10 minutes early. how many celebs can you say that about?

Very nice! Two great photos. Did you see him when he did Saturday Night Live? He seems like a great guy. I'm glad you had a good experience, and yes, it's great to hear about a celebrity who is so together.

Oh yeah. . .any picture of Peyton Manning is pretty thrilling. You have an instant "ooooooooooh" factor forever now :)

My claim to Peyton Manning fame is that his dad's sister is a good friend of mine :) But course, my "ooooooh" factor is highly overshadowed by yours getting to actually do a photo shoot of him :)
