This month we are on location with actor Stacy Keach and family. Stacy Keach is the star of film and stage with numerous productions to his credit. He is most noted for his TV role as detective Mike Hammer.

It’s always a pleasant surprise to work with celebrities like Stacy Keach who are humble, hospitable, talented, professional and just plain easy to photograph. The day just sails by. Love to read your comments and feel free to tweet and share with your friends, too.

Project We Group held their 2nd Annual Blue Ribbon Affair at the World Market Center in downtown Vegas. “Rock The Runway For a Cause” was the culmination of another We program called Operation Head 2 Toe where teens create an entire fashion production starting with the initial concept and ending in what promises to be one of the hottest New York Style fashion show in Las Vegas.

The fashion show featured seasoned professional models mixed with many of the young people participating in Operation Head 2 Toe and other projects sponsored by Project We Group.

Just as the session was ending clouds quickly rolled in, and to all of our amazement – there was SNOW! Yes, snow in Vegas in the month of April no less. By this time the children were all buckled into the family mini-van ready to run one of many ‘mommy errands’. But when the snow flurries grew, all three children hopped out of the van to catch giant snow flakes on their tongues.

Those afternoon giggles and squeals reminded me and my wife just what family is all about…

To The Horrigans – Thanks for the memories!
