five diamond

Nice to see how the other have of the world lives at a five diamond hotel. I'm use to motel 6 or the Days Inn. What a great place and the art work was to die for. Working on some shots for Women's Edge Magazine. Traveling lean and light with the Profoto kit 2 packs and 6 heads.

Party at the studio

Cleaned up in front of the studio this morning, think some people in the neighborhood had a good time. Suspended above black velvet 16X22 softbox.

The Bain Project

I volunteered for The Bain Project the other night, some random snapshots. Got to hang out with SHAWN ROCCO who is turning the photojournalist community upside down with his cell phone images check it out at PDN Pulse.

Triangle Addy Awards

The Pro bono work continues. Did some grip and grin shots for the Triangle Addy Awards. First time I've been to the DPAC, what a great space, I'll be back tomorrow for some uplifting inspiration from Morrissey. It's always great to hang out with other creative people. I didn't enter anything I'm the biggest procrastinator, Oops the CA deadline was last week. Nothing I shot won any awards but I had some stuff hanging in the show Capstrat Eaton Corporation, Jennings Truliant and Crittenden for AKC. Rumor has it things are picking back up, which is good news for everyone in the industry.

Vegetables that start with the letter "A"

This is a revisit from some stuff I shot years ago, a series of vegetables that start with letters of the alphabet. I'll be moving onto "B" bananas,beets and broccoli . I used some small fresnel light with gels and flashlights for light painting and a 30 sec. exposure.

confidentiality agreement

Seems like the last few things I've shot have come with a confidentiality agreement ........ Oh well .....

Portraits of Raleigh update ......

Got the kids in bed early on Friday and ran down to the Raleigh City Museum for the Portraits of Raleigh show. All kinds of great work hanging on the walls and being projected. I need to track down some folks. I got an honorable mention of my imagine of "Sandra and the Opera Singer". Imagine my surprise when I saw the Art & Living section in the N&O Sunday morning, I am truly flattered.
