GIVE ME SOME GRAY

I shot these about two years ago and forgot about them.  I took these portraits of a few my friends in NYC during a Christmas party where I set up a my favorite gray canvas backdrop and canvas floor.  Shot with one photek large softlighter II umbrella. Fun times and great characters.

FAMOUS QUOTES

Love this quote I found by Ellen Von Unwerth.  This site I check out from time to time has all the great quotes of the masters of photography, worth checking out.  PHOTO QUOTE.

"Technique undoubtedly helps make photography magical, but I prefer to work with atmosphere. I think that the obsession with technique is a male thing. Boy's toys. They love playing... but once you've perfected something you have to start searching for a new toy. I would rather search for a new model or location." - Ellen von Unwerth

UNDERWATER

Here are a couple of images from a recent underwater shoot.   I used 5 profoto heads with different color gels, green, blue and orange which caused this strange color mixture in the images.  The lights where pointing into the water from the surface with 7" reflectors on each of them.  The overall quality of light looks very close to natural light but I enjoy the color tent that the added gels created.

A VISIT TO THE HOMELAND

On our 3 year anniversary I took my wife to where I was born and raised for her first visit.  My first time back in 15 years!  The place hasn't changed much and usually that's a bad thing but not here.  I was glad it felt the same, the land where I was able to run, ride horses, shoot guns and get poison oak all before doing my homework or getting called in for dinner.  I miss this place and all its amazing memories of child hood.

ON THE GROUND AT THE BP OIL SPILL!

I have been listening to NPR and other news broadcasts about the BP oil spill and it keeps boiling my blood.  I don't know what we can do or what we aren't doing yet that could help stop or slow this mess and clean up our oceans and beaches.  Today I was talking to one of my best friends Mike Jones who is currently in New Orleans working on the feature film "Green Lantern".  During a few days off of production he went down to see the coast and the mess that has already hit the coast.  This is a photo he just emailed me from his iphone, a dead bird from the oil sludge.  Mike said, "in Revelation, it says the water will turn to blood. That's what it looks like out here - like the Gulf is bleeding."

24 HOUR VIDEO PROJECT

Think I'm going to participate in this, anyone else interested in doing something together?
