4 Weeks Later - Update

So.. been a busy bee lately .. website redesign for a client (Lisa's Counter Culture) along with some other multimedia and video projects. The main project however has been for myself.. yes... finally have a NEW WEBSITE that is just about done! Look/Feel will be similar but more samples of my work along with the blog being located at the site itself.

Working to get it launched later this week or early next week!

Oh.. In pulling images for the new site, I've come across some great shots from the past.. I'll share those here as well! Have a great week!

The Sleeper and 90 Seconds of STRESS!

So, I was shooting an event earlier this week.. company lecture, with guests from a local college.  There were about 4 people taking turns at the podium, pretty basic format.. grab a few images of each one from 3 or 4 different locations then go for the reaction shots of audience...

On the last speaker, I noticed this gentlemen starting to doze, and I took the shot from my hip (camera hanging down) and fired it off...I've gotten many happy accident/great photos this way in all my years of shooting.  Of course this time was about to be different...

The flash and noise from the shutter made him open his eyes.. and let me tell ya.. he was NOT happy!  He opens his eyes and said "NOT FUNNY"... in a very low, very serious, tone.

I walked slowly by him and whispered, "I'm sorry...."  and then I turned towards him and he literally looks at me, stoic faced, takes a beat and says "Gotcha! I'm Just Kidding.. life's to short.!!! "   OMG!  A HUGE Sigh of relief on my part   I really thought I was done shooting for that company ever again!

I then sat next to him, showed the image and we laughed, quietly.. as there was speaker talking...   He said that he works with him and the local college and has heard the same speech 100+ times... etc..

Gotta tell ya .. I was a little nervous for 90 seconds there!

 

NAB 2011

Just back from NAB 2011 and it was quite a show!  Saw some long lost friends in the industry and made some new ones as well.  I really didn't t take to many pictures... nice to just relax a bit.  Here are a few from Manfrotto and Active Storage... two great companies offering awesome products.  Oh.. the guys at Manfrotto were performing some really cool magic.. and the flame thrower in the arm was to light the floating cigarette illusion.  Pretty cool stuff.

 

Run for The Wall

I was asked to cover a fundraiser BBQ this past weekend in El Segundo for Run for the Wall.  Had a great time, met lots of really really nice people.  The event itself is in May 18 - 27, 2011 where ALOT of people will ride motorcycles across the country in dedication to POW's and MIA's.

ROTC from Redondo Beach Union performed the flag ceremony.  Ray Weldon (first picture below)  will be 92 years old this May.  He was on Iwo Jima.  An amazing Man.  Some other pics as well including the empty table in memory of those who have not yet returned from service.
