Last month we had another photo shoot with Thunder Valley Casino. Working with them is always enjoyable. For this year's shoot, they wanted to focus on the slots and gaming area.
David Garibaldi
I had the pleasure of working with Artist David Garibaldi in my studio recently. He's working on a new web be sure to check it out.
I have enjoyed David's art for some time so it was really cool to have a close view as he created.

Cityscapes
I have been thinking a lot about doing cityscapes and going for a deserted feel.
R & R and a 30sec Exposure
I spent a weekend In Bodega Bay, CA for a little R & R. Bodega Bay is usually known from the classic Hitchcock Film, The Birds, but I didn’t have a problem with them! I used the opportunity to work on some long exposure images, specifically 30 seconds per image. I am relatively new to the long exposure game, so it’s taking me some time to get a feel for it. What has really opened the 30 second world up for me has been the Tiffen LE series Apex filter; it’s a 10 stop ND filter.
102 year old images
How will our images be received or viewed 100 years from now. These images took time and patience, he had to be very deliberate in making them, and I imagine didn't get many images from a sitting. Even the poses show careful thought.
