Horne Creek Farm

I was somewhere outside Winston-Salem at Horne Creek Farm, shooting some images for Our State Magazine. Guess what an old farm house built in the late 1800's has no electricity. It was cold that night and they forgot to open the dampers in the chimneys, lots of smoke. My jacket still smells like a campfire. The staff and people were great. Most shots were just one light,very small rooms in the house. The outdoor images were SB-800 with AB 800ws on the house fired PW's.

Some shots for NC Signature Magazine about the West End wine bar in Chapel Hill NC. Most were soft box umbrella and a hard light, some were available light. Lots of details and room for copy.

Army of Business Men

Today is the first day I haven't been on the road in awhile. Lots of file editing to do. I ordered a bunch of X-mas gifts the other day from Archie Mcphee http://www.mcphee.com/. If you haven't shopped their before check it out. I came across a tub of businessmen and had to get them for myself. I put them on a white formica sweep and just used the overhead floursent lights in the studio.

Profoto small and big umbrella. We shot afew images in her backyard some light snow. Had to breakout the lensebaby.
