Broccoli in a Flower-pot

The name says it all "Broccoli in a Flower-pot". Showing my intern Maria Brubeck some old school photo techniques. Did some old school Arron Jones light painting, with split diffusion. We didn't get the Hosemaster out just a couple of flashlights. 25 sec. f/16 Harrison & Harrison D4 on camera for background and part of front for that dreamy look. A good day of learning light painting, diffusion, dulling spray and cinefoil. I think Maria is now excited she got alittle OCD.

Once Aweek

So I got this idea after watching our jack-o-lanterns deteriorate over the past week. One frame of film once aweek, I know it's been done to death, but I think I'll give it a try do some oversized proof sheets. I tried my best to clean out a spot in the prop-room, the problem is going to be not bumping the camera or set over the next 63 days. I can't do anything that's going to smell or get to nasty, I'd really like to try a big bucket of KFC, but think I'll do a loaf of Wonder Bread next.

More doctors

Some more doctor shot this week .

A catalog from last year where I actually won 2 silver awards

Welcome to my Neighborhood Christine #2

Lighting vs no lights ...... I saw Christine sitting in the park the other day so I grabbed some gear and ran up there. I've shot Christine before for my Neighborhood Project and was not happy with the results. I shot her with hard light last time, so this time I took an umbrella. She still looked very shinny and when retouched looks like a Glamour shot. Ended up shooting with available light, not really my style but better results.
