As a child, each Saturday I listened to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 radio show. The anticipation of the number one song had me glued to the radio until Kasem revealed the hit song. Sometimes I even recorded these shows on my boom box so I could hear the top song later. I wonder, where are those cassette tapes are now? Kasem always had a special show at the end of December recapping the hits of the year.
In celebration of sharing a name (but different spelling) with Casey Kasem, here are Casie Zalud Photography’s favorite portraits of 2010 in no particular order. Since we are all busy this time of year, I cut back the count down to ten instead of Casey Kasem’s traditional 40.









As Casey Kasem said with each each American Top 40 sign off, “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”
