Having your best friend from high school become one of the top photographers in the country is pretty cool on a number of levels.  It means that, when he’s available (which is less and less these days), I get to benefit from his sharp eye and his amazing talent.  I guess having your best friend become a rock musician has its benefits too – free CDs… and, uhm, I babysit sometimes.  Seriously though, it is a good synergy the two of us have had for years, so I now give you the photographic stylings of my good friend, Mr. Jared Platt (www.plattphotography.com), in the form of my latest photoshoot in Mesa, Arizona.
