TV data crunch


Another TV project and 177 GB of information. I make the mistake of working off my start up drive and when I came in the next morning my computer crashed with only 30 megs left ......... Oops ........ I day to shoot and 2 days to process.

Survivors and stuff


Working on some images of cancer survivors and web banners. The set changed from shot to shot.

NC fashion week


Some promo shots for NC fashion week ....Good VS Evil "Fighting Breast Cancer". Thanks to the people at Everlast and Meschantes also to Ross for helping out. It turned out to be more of a production than I thought. Some set-up shots and un-edited images. Yes that is the ring-flash on the floor, under lit for that spooky feel.

Headshots


Shooting some work for a talent agency and trying new headshot set-ups ..........

Raleigh Tea Party


The Federal Building is 2 blocks from the studio. I was in a rush to get home the other night and the Raleigh Tea Party was just getting started. How can one pass up a photo op like that ? A few of my favorite signs, I heard once they move to the capital build there were 1,500-2,000 people. I try to stay political neutral on the blog but I've heard alot of bad press on the Tea Party, I thought it was a good mix of people and not just white rednecks.

Welcome to my neighborhood Shante's Quality Hair


2 1/2 blocks from my studio is Shante's Quality Hair. She's been in the same spot for the past 13 years, a small white cinder block building. I really wanted to capture the juxtaposition of her building with all the new fancy high rise building behind it, but there was a car in the way. Guess I'll have to go back.

Creating an image library


Spent the day out in RTP creating an image library for a company. The important shots was to match the existing photo on the companies home page with new people. Lucky for us there was a big meeting in the conference room. We moved people around every 15 minutes to give it some variety. I have to say I'm blown away by the low noise of the D3 at high ISO's. It was a 50/50 split between strobes and available light.
