New Studio Space

One of the benefits of moving next door was MORE SPACE! Think I could back up enough to shoot a group of 20 with my 200mm! The room has multi-use possibilities for my one-stop-shop idea where a band comes in for a shoot and leaves with a Demo CD, including photos, artwork, publicity photo, poster and high quality recoding mix. See my lil foldy bike in front of the white seemless?

Reconfiguring the Lab

I made some changes to my lab area and started shooting some B/W again. It feels good to get some rolls through and hanging up. I'm scanning them by strip and picking out some neat ones which I'll post from time to time. It seems like a common theme, shooting B/W while the rest of the world throws in Velvia or Kodachrome to capture the fall colours. The fall just seems like a Black and White time and it's best to get in the habit before winter hits. It's funny how someone asked me the other day about why there is not a lot of B/W work on my website. I guess I've really changed since going digital because I remember someone asking in an interview a few years ago if I had any colour work. I did actually have a wide body of colour but mainly portrait work and the stuff I showed was the stuff I loved. BLACK and WHITE!
