Carolina Roller Girls


Big thanks to the Carolina Roller Girls for helping me out. I drove by skate town the other day and had an idea for some shots. The Carolina Roller Girls were nice enough to help me out. Love the stars and stripes, updated my Photoserve portfolio on the 4th of July with one of the images http://www.photosource-enhanced.com/bin/Portfolios?launch=pdn-47730

Not booked today so I'm running my portfolio around ....... I really like to show my book in person and talk with the creative team, but it seems as of late I just drop it off and pick it up.

SoutPort


Shots of Madeline who went through the Immigration and Naturalization ceremony afew years ago. Profoto beauty dish main light and AB as backlight.

seagulls


What's up with seagulls, every time I get around them I can't stop taking pictures. I was down in Southport working on the second part of an assignment on Immigration and Naturalization. I cranked off @ 300 shots of seagulls ? Even in the days of film I'd crank off 3/4 rolls of 35mm or 8/10 rolls of 2 1/4 film. Is it just me or do all photographers go crazy over seagulls ?

Charlie Two Shoes


Charlie Two Shoes, yes that's his real name. I know the 4th of July is right around the corner so I'm going to get all patriotic. This was an assignment on naturalization. Charlie Two Shoes was befriended by the Marines in China in 1945. He is also one of only 15 people made an honorary Marine. There is a book out about his life and struggles, just google him. It was an honor to be in his presence and made me realize all the things I take for granted. I broke out the Innovatronix Tronix Explorer 1200 ws and the Profoto 600 pack with beauty dish for main light and reflector for back light, sun was for fill.
