jones street revisit


I went back to Jones street the other night, they seem to be making progress on the demolition. I'm shooting at @ 8:45 PM, the sky is totally dark to the eye @ f5.6 for 20-30 sec. with a tungsten color balance. To me it's like magic when the preview on the camera comes up the blue of the sky just pops.

Rose Post


I was in Salisbury NC the other day to photograph Rose Post for NC Our State Magazine. I seem to be back on my hard light kick again. All were shot with a 22in Profoto Beauty dish with grid and either a standard reflector bounced for fill or small grid. I broke down and bought the tenba case for the beauty dish $185, ouch bend me over .... it was getting knocked around and abused. My case fetish continues, my camera bag has been a disaster for awhile, I got a lightware 1420 as a new camera bag about a month ago, but haven't made the transfer. To get back to Rose Post, it was one of those neat people assignments. A very charming woman. It was like stepping back in time with the decor of the home. I took twice as many photo's as I usually do she kept talking and telling these great stories. She asked me my name about 20 times during the shoot.

Oscar


---- See Below ---

Welcome to my neighborhood


I had the chance the other day to work on my series Welcome to my neighborhood. I photographed Oscar, I try to give him odd jobs from time to time around the studio cleaning up. You see people like this everyday and pay no attention to them. Oscar is an Ex-Vet and lives in a half way home in Gardner, if your from RaleighWood, you might recognize him, he was on the Uncle Paul show a few time doing his magic.

events and snap shots


I'm not big on event and snap shot photography, but you got to pay the bills. Most of the time I have alot of fun.....
