July JDRF Ride to the Cure/Bootcamp 3-1

Jul 26, 2011 11:34




I'd like to introduce you all to Makenna Missal, who's participating in this year's JDRF Ride to the Cure event in Burlington Vermont on July 30th. This a 100 mile ride she will be taking with her father Brad to raise awareness and funding for Juvenile Diabetes research.

That's a hell of a commitment for a 13 year old to make, and should you like to know more, take a look at her rider page here.



This was my Strobist Bootcamp 3-1 assignment, "Someone who makes the community more interesting, or might have a story to tell." Liz thought of Makenna, and I thought that was a great idea.

Brad was kind enough to let me meet up with him and Makenna at Carolina Brothers BBQ next to the W&OD trail in Ashburn, which is where I took this shot. I used a single sb600 (two lights are allowed, but I dropped and broke my other strobe), positioned off to her right, with a snoot pointed towards her head and shoulders..

The day was very overcast and rainy, so I don't think the strobe had a huge effect, but hey.

So, thanks again to Brad and Makenna, and good luck to both in the event!
