Tim Gruber and Jenn Ackerman use both photography and video to tell stories for editorial and commercial clients. 
Spent the afternoon with an awesome man by the name of Jackie who calls himself the Texas Snake Man for my Everything is Bigger in Texas project.
Jackie Bibby is a superstar in the snake world. He holds Guinness records for sacking ten rattlesnakes the fastest (17.11 seconds), sitting in a bathtub with the most rattlesnakes (81), lying in a sleeping bag with the most rattlesnakes (109), and holding the most rattlesnakes in his mouth (9). That last record earned him sixth place in Guinness’ list of top ten feats of the last 50 years.
The lights really work great in the frame really cool concept and idea in this.
Thanks Sam. I hope you’re enjoying your long break? Missing it myself.
“All the world’s a stage” …..
Tim, welcome back man. This image is truly yours, more so than some I’ve seen lately. I love it. And I usually *hate* strobes in the frame. Somehow it just seems all the more appropriate here. Keep these coming man.
Thanks Peter.
You actually got me thinking about my assignments lately and how I’ve been playing it newspaper safe. Not good. This photo like you said is more me. Something I need to be doing everyday no matter who the assignment is for.
Thanks for the reminder on why I do this stuff again.
Hope you’re enjoying the long break.
