HappeningsI talked with Ron Egatz of www.macgroupus.com for an hour and forty five minutes today for my interview. He was great and said it should be out in a couple of weeks. It’s always interesting to see the writers take on an interview. Years ago I did an interview for a HongKong magazine, it was […]

Yesterday I spoke of buying wardrobe at Salvation Army.  Looking through images to write about today I ran into this image.  This image is one of my all time favorites.  It’s  one of my very first outdoor shoots.  I didn’t know anything about lighting outside at all.  I would just show up and have the […]

“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 […]

Another great workshop came to a close tonight.  For the second time we made a 8×8 ft canvas backdrop.  The only difference was two attendees got to take the backgrounds with them that we all made.  Wow, what a bonus.  The images show everyone working on one of the backgrounds.

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 […]
