Our annual NPC News Sunday photo shoot with me, J.M., started off sunny in Miami but then the clouds rolled in & we were able to still get the photographs taken until the skies opened up about 2 hours into the shoot & rain fell. Heavy rain. We waited it out inside the host hotel, Hyatt Regency Miami, even did a few photos in the lower lobby. We ran back outside when the rain stopped & then it began again! Some of the athlete’s had to leave because the weather took us off schedule by about 90 minutes. I appreciate those that were able to stay! Many Thanks to Dan Ray for taking the Women’s Bodybuilding & Women’s Physique photos! Dan stepped in to help because of the weather. Also Thank You to the NPC News Online crew, photographer’s Barry Brooks, Jeff Binns & Editor-In-Chief Frank Sepe. Additional photography & Lighting Assistant Amir Marandi & videographer Scott Albano. Ironically, as we were finishing the “Bikini Walk” photos, the sun decided to come out! That’s South Florida weather for you!
