shooting shooting


On assignment for an article on a family that "shoots" together. I haven't shot a gun since my days in Vegas 15 years ago. I had a good time shooting those skeet out of the air. An overcast day, just tried to add some snap with a main light and a backlight.

Remember those headshots


Remember those headshots from 4 years ago ? We just hired some new people and want to match those shots. For me this is always the hardest thing to do, match an existing shot. This was back before I was snapping photo's of my set-up's.

group shots


A set-up from group shots up at UNC. I did some event coverage aswell. The shoot went great and the event ended @ 250 people left at the same time and tried to get out of the parking deck with only one attendant, I sat in the car for over an hour waiting to get out......

JohnPaul Harris


Some shots for a magazine article on artist JohnPaul Harris. He is one of the most unique individuals I've ever met. Photo's of his home and studio don't do justice, it was a cross between the Swiss Family Robinson and Sanford and Son's. It was a gloomy rainy day but we got off afew outdoor shots. JohnPaul Harris has a Cirkut Rotating Panoramic Camera www.cirkutpanorama.com/ten.html that's been modified with an electric motor. This thing was so old school and new school, the film is 10inches by 7 feet and you get 2 shots and make a contact print.
I'm off to find the squirrel living in my studio, he's set off the motion detector twice this week .............

tools of medicine


A shot for Duke "tools of Medicine".The first images was trying to simulate overhead garage light and it looked to flat ( overhead softbox and alittle fill). The other image were shot with the 20in beauty dish with grid upper left and a 7in grid coming from the right.
