Volcano Vacation
2010
Some of the interesting shoots from the last 30 years aren’t from deep in the archives; they can be ripped from recent news articles.
Dateline: April 2010.
It began innocently enough. April 7th we flew to Virginia for the first in a series of shoots for medical products manufacturer Hollister Incorporated....
We went on to Ireland, England and Germany, finishing up with a shoot in Munich.
Eyjafjallajokull
The shoot started quietly - at meetings like this in Ireland, England and Germany.
Then on the last day of shooting, Eyjafjallajokull blew our plans out of the sky.
We were booked on flights home through Heathrow - now cancelled. We called every airline and even checked out transatlantic freighters but nothing was available until a week later. That meant there was only one thing to do…explore. Friends in Munich took us into their home for the rest of the week and become our rescuers, tour guides, bartenders, chefs and friends for the days and nights of our stay.
The cast of characters:
Josef “Sepp” Bachinger • Rita Bachinger • Andy – Their son • Kerstin – Andy’s girlfriend.
Here’s how we made use of our unexpected holiday in Europe.
We eventually made it home - with lots of great memories.
Here’s a video sample of some of what we saw and did.
