Had to break down the KinoFlo setup in the studio , so before I did… I wanted to shoot some tests with a shallow DOF. I like the light. Me… not so much.

Last week me and the Indigo6 crew shot Andy Church for his forthcoming CD Sleeping in the Van. We’re (Indigo6) designing the album art and promo materials. More shots to come. I think Andy actually fell asleep.
I’ve decided to take the plunge and try to figure out just what is so cool about twitter. In an number of podcasts I listen to… guests and hosts alike have told people to follow them on twitter. Some of these people I actually like, so if they’re on twitter, maybe I should check it [...]
I know it sounds a bit funny, but it’s brilliant. David Hobby A.K.A. Strobist was featured on the latest Lightsource podcast. He was saying that he uses a tripod when he needs to light a very large space, so he locks the camera down and uses shutter speed to raise the ambient light. This is not a new concept, [...]
Melissa off-set working with Daryon… kinoflo diva light (set up for mu) as single light source
This is why you need to good cameras. This was our last look, it was getting late, and we lost natural light in the studio. So, we had to set up a KinoFlo Diva Light for Daryon (Makeup Artist). This shot was unplanned, and actually off-set. I had the 5D rigged to a ringflash and [...]

BUT… I have found a reason to use Aperture 2… tethered shooting. A2 makes tethered shooting a breeze… and A2 also allows the use of a fullscreen [...]
Yes Apple, I am sorry. I love you but… I’ve switched from Aperture to Adobe Lightroom. I really wanted to stay with Aperture, but there were a few things that I couldn’t ignore. Aperture was a bit sluggish on my MBP… specially the responsiveness of the crop and rotate tool. Aperture did not have a vignetting [...]
After a few months with my iPhone, I have officially given up. When I first got my iPhone I was quite on top of things—clearing out my inbox almost hourly. Soon, it became daily. And now… once I get through it… it loads 25 more messages from the server. I can’t keep up. So, I [...]
My friend Brian Miller who is a great designer, and a professor of Graphic Design at the University of Bridgeport invited me to participate in student portfolio reviews. I really enjoyed looking at the work, talking to the students, as well as getting out of the studio. This mural/poster was painted on the wall in [...]
