pouring water


Some shots pouring water. Used strobes on a white formica sweep, but set my color balance to tungsten to get a blue cast.

cemetery


I was on my way back from Southern Pines and stopped to get gas, this cemetery was across the street.

bowling


took my kids bowling over the weekend, just some snap shots ...

AKC Scanner


Did some product shots with Crittenden Advertising of a pet scanner for the AKC. Ended up suspending the scanners from armature wire, there was to much wrap around on a white background.

face lift


Sounds like a good name for a photo-shoot, but oh well ....... I'm in the process of replacing the facade of my studio.

3 day location catalog


If you can't get the product to the studio go to the product ...... 3 days on the Johnny T-shirt catalog in Hillsborough NC. Some table top,models and lots of T-shirts and jackets. A fun project, but long hours. I don't know how people can work in RTP and drive I40 everyday. There was a car in front of me on the way home and the licence plate was I-H8-I40 ...... Classic .......

stop to take the shot. LOST.......


I think it was on Highway 42, I passed an old factory/power station, I was running late, but turned around anyway to shoot some photo's. I knew I'd never be back this way. Same thing with the field. I just accepted the fact I'd be late with all the tractors and goats crossing the road.
Years ago I was driving from Madrid Spain to Faro Portugal ( looks closer on the map ) I'd been in the car for about 8 hours and had 4 to go. I passed a hill of golden wheat with a single olive tree in the middle and it was one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen. I didn't stop to take a picture. This is something I regret to this day, maybe one day I'll get back and try to capture my lost image. So now I try to stop and take the shot, even if I'm running late or in a hurry.
