Breaking Eggs


I like to show my successes and failures and I'll be the first to admit this was a total failure. I had 5 eggs left over from my Goodberry shoot and thought it'd be cool to shoot an egg breaking at the moment of impact. My timing was off and I didn't sync at the right speed , this was a half-ass attempt so don't try this at home. I still think it's a cool concept and will revisit it one day when I have more eggs to break.

Seeing Red


I'm glad the McCarthy era is over. The other night I got to hang out with the Secretary of the Communist Party Of China. I don't usually do "grip and grin" stuff but it sounded fun and was for a corporate client. The function was held at a private residence and all the big boys and girls attended, Senators,Representatives,Secretaries, Committee members and Mayors. The guest of honor arrived with his delegation ( entourage ) @ 40 people. I didn't know exchanging business cards was such a big deal, I've got a ton that I can't read. It was a nice function and I was treated as more of a guest than hired help. A great time was had by all. I think my favorite shot of the night is the dog with an American bandana in front of the Chinese flag.

A Crazy Day


Kids, doctors and a very tight set. A really great concept once we got it down. 4 pediatrician looking straight at camera and we just let the kids be kids and cause chaos. Some great shots once it's all put together. I seem to be into this high key cross back lighting theses days, hard to tell from these images.

What's that sound ?


What's that sound ? The sound of me shooting in very tiny rooms over at blazing sound and music. They are part of Trail Blazer Studios. If you don't know about these guy's check'em out a one stop production shop. They do have 2 rental studios, one with a 40 X 50 hard cyc-wall.
I got the dust off the hotlights, most shots were through a door or from a corner. I ended up with 2 Arri a small photogenic, 2 small flashes gelled to tungsten fired by PW and a 60 watt clamp on work light.

Grease Monkey's


So I'm feeling a little better about my personal projects. Shot some stuff for my "Grease Monkey" project and I have to say I'm pleased. I only shot @ 20 images but it felt right. Small soft-box with grid from upper left and back lit with a reflector.
