He plans to attend Lone Star College in Kingwood to work towards a degree in Music Education. Which, to me, made perfect since as he brought his guitar along for the shoot and serenaded the passer-bys with his musical talent. And, boy, is he talented! As we were finishing up the photo shoot, I had my body dropped in full-on squat position (you know, trying to get the cool angle) and Collin started playing a jazzy-riff on his guitar and proceeded to make up a song off the top of his head! Amused, I was attempting to listen to the song while trying to capture the sun in my frame to cast a neat glow on his silhouette. I thought that his little tune was pretty fun and clever, and then he continues the riff with this line: &#8220;She&#8217;s about to sit on a dead bird&#8230;. oh, yes, I said she is about to sit on a dead bird&#8230;. She&#8217;s probably going to contract some sort of disease if she sits on that dead bird&#8230;.&#8221; Realizing that he was looking right at me and giving me that &#8220;for real, I&#8217;m talking about you&#8221; look, I glance down and right below my rump is a freshly dead bird COVERED in flies and maggots. So, thank you Collin for using your talents to protect my bum from a nice smear of dead bird.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-7or3AkNidPg\/T6HqvwVv-SI\/AAAAAAAAEPQ\/ARi2kEiu8XE\/s1600\/Colin+2+Images.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[59]\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-7or3AkNidPg\/T6HqvwVv-SI\/AAAAAAAAEPQ\/ARi2kEiu8XE\/s1600\/Colin+2+Images.jpg\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-kDs4Qg944rg\/T6Hq2Y6W-kI\/AAAAAAAAEPY\/HarDbYBTFKM\/s1600\/Colin+2+Images2.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[59]\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-kDs4Qg944rg\/T6Hq2Y6W-kI\/AAAAAAAAEPY\/HarDbYBTFKM\/s1600\/Colin+2+Images2.jpg\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-uCYK9uwvL9M\/T6Hq3TWfwsI\/AAAAAAAAEPg\/0bLkdyyEnTs\/s1600\/Colin+2+images3.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[59]\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-uCYK9uwvL9M\/T6Hq3TWfwsI\/AAAAAAAAEPg\/0bLkdyyEnTs\/s1600\/Colin+2+images3.jpg\"><span><\/span><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-TrMdp1cw574\/T6Hq4hBTkmI\/AAAAAAAAEPo\/7FAwZL5nng8\/s1600\/Colin+3+Images.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[59]\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-TrMdp1cw574\/T6Hq4hBTkmI\/AAAAAAAAEPo\/7FAwZL5nng8\/s1600\/Colin+3+Images.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-8x5EUsee5_k\/T6Hq6mFKgsI\/AAAAAAAAEPw\/9Z5jxbAa3wQ\/s1600\/Colin+3+Images2.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[59]\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-8x5EUsee5_k\/T6Hq6mFKgsI\/AAAAAAAAEPw\/9Z5jxbAa3wQ\/s1600\/Colin+3+Images2.jpg\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-uQsd9VwFd78\/T6Hq8Aud78I\/AAAAAAAAEP4\/9bCxy9p1new\/s1600\/Colin+4+images.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[59]\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-uQsd9VwFd78\/T6Hq8Aud78I\/AAAAAAAAEP4\/9bCxy9p1new\/s1600\/Colin+4+images.jpg\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-3OV1I7Vrr90\/T6Hq9dtLjwI\/AAAAAAAAEQA\/3uybgXa9dQg\/s1600\/Colin+6+images.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[59]\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-3OV1I7Vrr90\/T6Hq9dtLjwI\/AAAAAAAAEQA\/3uybgXa9dQg\/s1600\/Colin+6+images.jpg\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div>He has quite the personality!\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hovering over dead birds,<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>HK<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collin&#8217;s mother is one of my co-workers and she approached me a few weeks ago about photographing her son&#8217;s senior portraits.
