Turning my lens toward the photographer

9 comments

Meet Heidi Heilbrunn, a staff photographer for the Greenville News. Meet Heidi Heilbrunn. She is a very talented photographer for the Greenville News. For local readers I’m sure you have seen many of Heidi’s photos in the newspaper. Last night at the Moonlight Movies I turned the table and took a few photos of the photographer. The photo shown shows Heidi holding my business card. Click here for a close-up. The card says that at Greenville Daily Photo we are “sharing positive images of South Carolina globally” and that we are a “proud member of the Global Daily Photo community” … Following are links to a couple of extra photos showing Heidi in action and flashing a big smile. Thanks for being a good sport Heidi.

Check out a slide show of Heidi’s photos from the Moonlight Movies. I’m the subject of photo 20 in the slide show.

ad libitum impromptu playing experimental jazz in downtown Greenville, SC After leaving the Greek Festival (see yesterday’s photo) I much enjoyed the experimental jazz band playing on Main Street. Their name is ad libitum impromptu and you can hear their music at their MySpace site. Their blog says they have a debut album which is called “I like to plan my flaws” and they did the music for a movie called “The End of Frank”.
