Backstage with Miss Virginia


Miss Roanoke Valley waits in the wings

Anyone who knows me has probably heard, sooner or later, my description of the idea photography assignment: to go to some major event (I usually use the Olympics as an example), but with strict orders that, should I come back with any pictures of the event itself, I'll be fired immediately.

In June, I got very close. Thanks to the Help of former Miss Virginia Tara Wheeler, now an anchor in Charlottesville, we got total access to the Miss Virginia pageant for a series of three stories.

As we filmed over three days, I of course had the Leica M3 with me with a 50mm f2, and I found a few moments to make some images.
