Boot on my roof

When they were replacing the front of the studio, I used the ladder to get on my roof. It's been almost 2 years since I've been on it. I had a squirrel get in my studio the other week and he kept setting off the motion detector ( $100 in false alarms ). I couldn't find where the squirrel got in ? I thought I might find a gun,knife or crack pipe on my roof but all I found was an old boot. A quick photo shoot, why wait for the Hose Master to warm up when you can use a flashlight. 25 sec. @ f/22 on black velvet. I'm off to Asheville for a 2 day shoot, hope it's cool in the mountains.

headshots

The creative work is just knocking down my door, more headshots on white ...... I happened to be wearing one of my fancy new t-shirts. Look at the quality after one wash, thanks Vista Print T-shirts .....

My neighborhood

Had a job cancel on me the other day and thought I'd work on my neighborhood project. No one hanging out, it was just to hot. So I shot afew houses.

Peggy Kirk Bell

I was lucky to get an assignment photographing golf legend Peggy Kirk Bell, at her home course Pine Needles in Southern Pines NC. Check her out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Kirk_Bell. It was a real inspiration being around Peggy. It was 100 degrees and she kept going and going. The course and clubhouse are beautiful, and lunch was great (thanks). AB's 800 and 400.

Night shots

The smoke from the wildfire on the coast had blown in the other day. I thought it'd make for some cool night time images. By the time the sun had set most of the smoke had disappeared and nothing dramatic in the sky. Used a tungsten balance to get the blue in the sky to pop. The exposures were around 30 sec. at f/8.

before and after

Before and after shots of a rescue truck. This was a real quick retouch. I'm still not happy with the windows and need to add some highlights. Had a small strobe inside the truck cabin.

My neighborhood

I'm still working on my "Welcome to My Neighborhood" series. I went up to Moore Square to see who was hanging out. I've been really excited about this project and everyone has been great about getting photo's taken. I am starting to feel alittle guilty, the last guy I photographed (baseball hat) was so out of it. I almost felt I was taking advantage of him. I'm sure this is a moral dilemma most photographers will face at sometime in their careers.
