Kinda Crazy

I've been doing work for "Big Tex" for the past 7 years, time for some birthday photo's. I feel almost obligated to do snap snots at his party, but truth be told I kinda enjoy it. How many people get to check out the late night hip-hop culture, especially if your caucasian like me. I didn't feel threaten but felt welcome, I knew who wanted their photo taken and who didn't. I tried to set some lights up outside but the rain from hurricane Bill played havok. I know these images are flash on camera, but I do think there is artistic merit in them. I don't think it's the subjects but what's going on around them. I got home @ 3AM and smelled of marijuana and my ears hurt from all the bass. I must be getting old ...................

Kinda Crazy #2

Up the street at another club, there was a crew from Girls Gone Wild. This guy was so wasted he kept falling down.

ID please

Part of a campaign to prevent underage smoking. Shot on location at Running Jims Convenience Store in Durham NC. We had the store for @ 2 hours but customers came and went as usual. Client was looking for selective focus and lots of blur. Took advantage of the available light and had 2 Profoto heads bouncing off the back walls and ceiling for fill. ISO 400 between f 1.4-2.8, 1/125-1/25th. Big thanks to Directions for the talent.

Oh Heck Video

Looks like Christmas came early at Bryan Regan Photography
A quick trip down to Wilmington NC to pick up some new gear. P2, Redrock, 2 HMI's and other Misc. stuff. It's a multi-media world we live in these days. When I was in school we shot everything on Super-8, 16mm and VHS cam corders. Time for me to join the 21st century.

Kits

I shoot alot of these kits and it's not just throwing the stuff down. You never know what's in them till you open the box. Everything is rigged with foam core and shims to prop it up. I go up and down the ladder not stop moving stuff around.

products & headshots

Getting the place kinda clean. Products & headshots see post below.

Coming or going

Don't know if I'm coming or going these days. Been really busy, shot @ 40 Gigs of files over the past 10 days. The computer is running 24-7 processing, burning and archiving. I think I work best when I've got 3 or 4 projects going on at once. Got a product shot than a headshot and have to pack for location this week-end.
