How to burn 20+ Gigs in 2 days

Monday, February 28, 2011

Simple.  Crank up some strobes, grab some models, find a parking lot, and finally start shooting. I reviewed our results from the location shoots from last week. A 16 GB card and the better part of and 8GB card.  That’s just from the 5D Mark II.  I also off loaded one of Chris M’s cards [...]

Tether Tools Tether Table. Everybody should have one!

Sunday, February 27, 2011

Only a few short days ago I received a box from Tether Tools.  Oh, how long have I wanted a platform to mount my laptop on while I shoot?  Well, for a long time.  Watching videos like Joe McNally’s, Drew Gardner’s, and too many to count from Scott Kelby left me wanting my own laptop [...]

A post from the iphone

Sunday, February 27, 2011

Thought I’d try a wordpress iPhone app to create today’s post. Unfortunately I don’t think I can upload today’s snow photos with this app. Oh no, there’s a learning curve with the iPhone?

The Big Commercial Shoot

Saturday, February 26, 2011

Can I say this outloud……?

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

I’m caught up with shooting paintings! There, I said it.  Wonder if I’m going to get swamped again for saying that?  With the painting glut addressed I found myself with a little time this morning.  So I decided to show you the latest addition to the studio space.  To help me with my work flow [...]

Snow, snow, snow

Sunday, February 20, 2011

Ah, another snow day here in Prescott.  2 days of blowing snow.  No, nothing like what the Northeast has been getting this year, but it’s still another snowy day here! Today’s snow fall reminds me of a great blog that I follow.  Paul Burwell is an amazing photographer.  On top of fantastic outdoor scenes, Paul [...]

Burning the candle at both ends (and in the middle for good measure)

Friday, February 18, 2011

The cold isn’t over.  Flu, Hanta Virus, Swine Flu, whatever…….  But I’m feeling better than death warmed over.  Now I’m in leftover re-heated death mode, and that’s ever so much better. I’ll tell you, sometimes my world is feast or famine.  That’s how it works, right?  This morning I received two different “emergency” calls on [...]
