still at it!  i love the challenge of finding subjects.  nothing like tossing the camera in the front seat with some motivation and inspiration to get some portraits.  sorta like a subject hunt.  i have also been testing out my good friend doug boutwells totally rad actions on this set of images.  pretty nice stuff!

working on nailing down a few new clients in both the catalog and campaign realm so i am just a little hustle and flow like Djay. ha!  2 movie references in 2 post.  you guys still with me?

thanks to jules and filly for kicking ass and putting in the time.

Walter Sobchak: I'm sorry, Smokey. You were over the line, that's a foul.
Smokey: Bullshit. Mark it 8, Dude.
Walter Sobchak: Uh, excuse me. Mark it zero. Next frame.
Smokey: Bullshit, Walter. Mark it 8, Dude.
Walter Sobchak: Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.

a short stock shoot in la jolla on sunday proved to be a good choice as the weather was so nice.  looking forward to summer.

hi all,  a quick catalog shoot for lifegear.  this is like the 6th or 7th shoot for these guys and it is always fun.  they are like a mile a minute.  by the time the shoot is done, they have come up with another product!  good clients to have.  also good to have clients that really value the images and understand the importance of not only selling products but getting the products into the channels by means of images, which is cool.

hi everybody,
both jackie and i get styling credit on this one;-)  a very fun casual run around the east village for some testing.

hi all,  came out to meet with david and amanda of select, my assignment reps and a new york test session with jackie of ford/jetset, more on that later... here are some new york city snapshots, and one to show:

portraits of john daniels of oceanside. talk about a fast session.  they always are on the way to the water. 

this was also my first session with my new/used canon 1dsm2, which has been a blast to shoot.  The color is great, the camera is fast and responsive and it feels good to be shooting a 1d body again.  the resolution also have been a perk with stock, i would rather do less up-rezing. really have been scaling back on the gadgets and keeping is a bit more simple and lightweight.  less bags, less lenses, less hassle.

have not shot the boys in a while, so here they are...somewhat of a recent shot. within a few weeks.  in order to shoot them i just need to work them into the stock production schedule, is that bad?  well, anyway, kieran is now 4 and half and brooks is 2 and half.

hi all! well, its upgrade time and spring cleaning at the studio.
