More wedding shenanigans...

While shooting video this past weekend for a wedding with Katelyn Turner Designer + Photography (www.katelynturner.com) we had the great opportunity to take a "professional" group shot of ourselves before leaving for the night. This is seriously how you end a day well!

An unexpected gift

Back when Providence Church was a wee little church comprised of four families we were blessed by a lay pastor named Rev. Robert LaMay. Fascination with cameras and photography was something we both had in common. While there were good number of years between us, it is evident that I am probably of copy of who he was when he was my age. He recently came for a visit and with him brought 4 large boxes of old film cameras of varying ages that he had collected over the years to leave in my care.

I started off with pulling them all out and categorizing them by what film they used. I then set up a few for some pictures to share with you. I can't wait to get out and try each and everyone of these cameras.

Be sure to check out all my other product work via my site portfolio!

Product Photography

So I decided to do some product photography, but challenge myself with highly reflective objects - a decorative knife and sunglasses. Yes, sunglasses are probably the most photographed products around, but they do offer a unique trickiness to light without getting unwanted reflections in the final image. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the images I captured.

CG + Architecture + Photography

This is indeed a fantastic short film. Very meditative showing the beauty of both architecture and photography through the brilliance of CG. Watch it and soak it in. This is one of those instances where I'd love to say I could do that, but I would be lying.

Create Lighting Diagrams on your iPhone/iPod Touch

I just downloaded this sucker and I can already see it's potential. Actually I could see it's potential before I even downloaded it. What a great way to quickly show you assistants how to arrange the lights for a particular shoot. With the ability to create & save diagrams you can even doodle when you're board and come up with new ideas to test out in the future. It then allows you to save and send via email to anybody you'd like. Thanks to the guys over at Strobox, this app is fantastic!

Alien Bees Order has Shipped

As you can imagine, I'm pretty excited. I just go notified last night that my Alien Bees order has shipped. Now, I already have two B400 along with stands and umbrellas, but I felt like I was missing out on something big. This past weekend I ordered 24x36" medium sized softbox along with their new cybersync radio triggers.



According to UPS tracking my goodies should arrive sometime tomorrow.
