Blanchet class of 2013: Drew

Seniors

Meet Drew, a senior at Blanchet High School. He plays soccer, loves baseball hats, and is a huge sneakerhead (potentially rivaling my buddy Darnell Gant?). Drew and I hung out on the beach at Golden Gardens Park in Seattle a couple weeks ago for his senior photo session, where I learned that he’ll be attending the University of San Francisco in the fall to pursue art – he wants to design his own t-shirt line, how cool is that! (I also learned that his older brother goes to Gonzaga and is friends with my youngest sister! Small world.) Drew was great to work with, instantly comfortable being in front of the camera…and while editing his images I was struck by how closely he resembles good ol’ Peeta from The Hunger Games…minus all that dirt on his face. Perhaps Drew can be a stunt double in the final film… 🙂

C’mon. Seriously. Peeta. Amiright?

Thanks again for the great shoot, Drew! Good luck to you as you finish your senior year and head off into the brave new world! We’ll have to do another shoot once you have your t-shirt line. 🙂
