I had a free day, Yea ! I've been driving up and down Wilmington St. alot lately, to the big box hardware store some days 3 times. There are about a dozen locations I've seen and had some ideas for shoots. Got a couple in, the set-up's are real quick and simple, main light and back light, Kind of a drive by shooting (no pun intended). I knew we'd get run off and that's what happened at Dragon City. Oh well anything for art.

pool and power

I wouldn't want to be the model in that pool, confidentiality agreement.

server room

Just hanging out in a very chilly server room, 5 heads and 2 packs very open lighting.

Womens Edge Magazine

Some shots for Womens Edge Magazine. A very overcast day with light rain, the photo's turned out better than I expected. Broke out the lense baby for afew shots. 3 locations and it kicked my butt.

Raleigh Wide Open

Raleigh Wide Open on Sat. night from the MLK Blvd. Bridge. The fireworks came up behind the tress, but thanks to Photoshop they are now over the city.

Raleigh Convention Center

So the Raleigh Convention Center opened last weekend. I have to say Wow ! I spent 5 years in Vegas working the Sands Expo and Las Vegas Convention centers, I think Raleigh has finally done something right. I ran around snapping photo's like crazy, I was impressed with the architecture, nice clean lines and space. I'm working on my website http://www.raleighconventioncenterproductions.com/ and @ dozen other .com's. Having worked the convention centers before I know there is alot of $$$ to be made, but I feel like I'm selling my soul. Check out the images bottom right for The Downtown Raleigh Alliance booth from last weeks post.

My feet hurt

Got out the new shoes yesterday and was on my feet all day, my feet are killing me today...... 2 locations, Siemens training facility, for some close-ups of doctor patient interaction and a lobby for the cover of a magazine (2 speedotron heads with soft-boxes 1200ws and 800ws, 2 Profoto with reflectors for backlight, blackcards to prevent flare.
A really good concept for the magazine, they bought the back for advertising. The cover, shot of the doctor's looking at the camera, back cover, shot of doctors backs with one looking around the group at camera. You know doctors always in a hurry. Got @ 40 shots off for the front cover, I know I got @ 7 usable images. Back cover maybe got off 10 shots and was still messing with the lighting when the doctors said time to go .......... Got to love Photoshop ........
