After shooting for some time your desire to light smaller and smaller eventually comes into play.  You need to own more lights, stands and accessories.  It’s hard to set and tweak everything yourself.  An assistant is definitely a big help when using several small light sources. I love small lights sources but the only problem […]

I realize I’m in a large building with some unusual benefits.  One of the best has been my neighbor down the hall, a high end upholsterer. Yesterday Andrea stopped by after a casting call across the hall.  I shot earlier in the day another model in this chair but when Andrea stopped by I thought […]

It never ends…new toys…photographers are dangerous. If you’re in a relationship with one, be careful.  They can justify any new purchase.  Oh, that’s right if you’re reading this, you’re the dangerous one. Case in point, the new IPhone…you don’t need it, you just want it. The IPad was last months news Stuff that’s quicker, smaller, […]

Normally one item will set me off in a direction and this image is no different.  Pete had the white t-shirt and hat, it reminded me of an Italian fisherman, not sure why?  I went around the studio and found the leather fishing net and the pole.  I bought the net at Big Lots (for […]

I love this chair.  I can’t remember where I picked up this little chair, road side pit stop, dumpster dive, loading dock snag, but I know when I spotted it I had sweet love.  The seat has since broken at a workshop a couple of years ago though and is totally missing (not sure what […]

“No thanks.” I said.  I can see her eyes just fine. Not really understanding what Claude was asking.  The Claude I’m referring to is Claude Jodoin.  I’m fortunate to know Claude and asked him to assist me with a shoot awhile back.  Claude is a photographer’s consultant and educator and Technical Editor for Range Finder […]

The peace sign here can mean two things, peace or surrender. Hoping for different results when I hit the register button again.  Buying a new computer and changing everything over is a royal pain.  I purchased a new Mac Pro G4 Intel awhile ago and I’m just getting around to changing over.  Yuk. I had […]

My peony tree is in bloom this week, the flowers are as big as saucers.  They last such a short time it’s a shame.  So once a year I can get this shot. When workshop students ask my advice what to shoot I always mention high key.  I find it so refreshing and so do […]
