It's All About Timing

There’s nothing better than the feeling of knowing I was in the right place at the right time. This photo came about because I was shooting a 50th birthday party celebration at Antoine’s in the French Quarter. The event had gone well all night with plenty of guests hamming it up for the camera and gathering together for group photos. The time had come for the cake to be cut, but no one told about how Antoine’s does their Baked Alaska. Luckily I made sure to find a good spot in the front of the crowd so I was able to capture this awesome shot of the birthday boy lighting his cake on fire.
