February may end up being a nice big month of firsts at JLPFL. There was this week's first assignment to Costa Rica, and today I stopped by the bookstore to pick up the new issue of Men's Health which features my first ever pull-out poster (ooooh-rah!) of Colonel Brian McGuire, A.T.C., head of the USMC's sports-medicine and injury prevention program at Quantico.
The assignment was really fun and worked out incredibly well in what could have been a high-stress slot (I shot it the day before Thanksgiving). All of the Marines were super great to work with and just watching them do their core training exercises caused me to lose 5 pounds.
Obviously this is a different side of my work. I was a little nervous to shoot the poster and "hero" sort of vibe after I got a stack of their previous posters, but I rolled with it and had fun trying to make it work. I think it looks solid but certainly not as "me" as the rest of the images they used. I hope the "firsts" keep on rolling...
