Deep Thoughts
The light was right and she was half out of it. While she may look serene in this image I just witnessed her shoving her head into a small cup attempting to lick out all the ice cream. So looks are deceiving.
Ancient Faces
When I finally got around to shooting with the Sony RX100M3 I went to the Arthur M. Sackler and Freer Gallery of Art in Washington DC. I have shot there before but I did it all manual focus stuff and wasn’t pleased with the images. One of the interesting things about shooting in a museum like this is the light changes from blinding to non-existent so ISO ranges are all over the place. It was a good test of what…
Hey There
Just a quick edit of something new I shot! I went to the Tampa Aquarium with my family and shot a lot of images. First time in weeks I have held a camera for more then a few minutes. Was a good time! I have lots of images but not lots of time and I really liked this little guy. The image was really shot vertically but I flipped it horizontal then merged several shots together to really bring out…
Blue Monday
I have been dying to use that title since I edited this image. I have been sitting on it just so I could use it on a Monday. The image itself is of the guy who works for me. I usually point a new camera, lens, or flash at him. Most of the images are looks of hate or inappropriate gestures. In fact, the next image that had him exposed shows him glaring at me. I just liked the silhouette effect…
Calling Elvis
I was going to write again but I got distracted when I started to go through what I was going to write about. I saw this image and new I had to edit it. I know he’s a guitar player in a band I shot. What band? I have no idea. I just liked the image. It’s like he’s channeling Elvis and the sunglasses are classic Elvis style sunglasses. I know because I own a pair. Plus the Johnny Cash…
Into the Mic
While it may seem I only shoot random objects around cities and flowers. Reality is I do shoot concerts and events. This is Carla Coates (NSFW) of the band Butcher Babies. I had the pleasure of shooting one of their concerts. The Butcher Babies has two lead vocalists and they were fantastic from a photographic perspective. They knew I was there and made sure I got some shots that other bands would never give me. Now, being crushed up against the stage…
Flesh to Alabaster
Points if you know there the title came from. Think big 80’s band and the lyric came from a oft covered song. I was in Washington DC as I have shown and on my wanderings I saw that the Corcoran Gallery said free admission I wandered in for a peak and something to drink. So to cool off from being outside I had a nice beer and proceeded to wander the gallery. I asked one of the security guards if I…
Feel It?
I need a break from Panama editing and I have to process images for a couple bands that I shot that were openers for this man’s band, King’s X. This is Doug Pinnik who is the lead singer and bassist and I managed to get this shot. I was wide open and either shot this with a 90mm or a 150mm. I can’t remember and too lazy to go back and look at EXIF. I know I was shooting at…
The Pool Players
This was shot a couple weeks ago but just getting around to editing them as I have been endlessly shooting flowers and other items in Southwest Florida. This was shot in collaboration. The person I was with was borrowing my camera periodically throughout the evening as she was interested in photography. So while I can’t tell who shot what, I know she shot some of them. There were two cameras used, the Sterling Ricoh GR and the Mighty Canon 330….
Thumbs Up! It’s Friday!
It seemed appropriate for a Friday. He was a barber at the Baltimore Tattoo Convention and yes they were really cutting hair. He was next to the free rum sample booth. I think we were both very happy by that point.
