Monday Headshot

Great light makes great photographs.  I used a Dyna-lite 2050 head in medium soft box just off camera right, fill is another 2050 head in a small strip box to the left and back beside me, and lit the background with a single 2050 shot into an umbrella.


I answered a Craigslist ad from makeup artist (So Young Park) looking for photographers and on Monday we shot Sasarih Hacupian.  We had a great time, even thought the little room we shot in was hotter then hell, well I thought so, Sasarih is Armenian and was cold.  I wasn't crazy about the purple flower eye thing, but So Young was eager to give it a go, so why not and they turned out great.

12/04/10 Three miles



Some days in a three mile walk I can almost fill up a small memory card, today I took seven frames, which included recomposing these two.  I guess sometimes you see, other times you look ... the best days are when I'm aware.   

Because Play is good!




Shooting through a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye, an old Ichizuka enlarger lens, and a JEM Jr. with my 1Ds Mark 2.  Cuze there is nothing like using thousands of dollars worth of camera and lens to make a low-fi image.

12/03/10 three and a quarter miles


Some times I just dig simple things.


I peeked through a fence and found these guys.


I love these trees, no idea why, but I photograph them almost every time I walk by.
