This shot was all done in camera. I was flying into Orlando International last night and saw the sun peeking through the clouds. I was thinking of how when you get that kind of light, it’s often when you can see a rainbow (if it were actually raining). Since the sunlight was going into the water below, I thought about quickly putting on my polarizing filter and catching a shot to see if I could record that [...]
Whenever I get free weekend mornings, I like taking my camera into Chinatown. With 40,000 members of the local community, some kids grow up never having to leave the 20 block area. There’s really no reason to venture out when there are more toys in Chinatown than all of San Francisco combined.
The weather in Las Vegas was a bit cooler than we anticipated so we had to adjust but it’s always about flexibility when you shoot on location. We had planned shooting out in the desert and did for a little bit but on the way back to the Strip we passed this elephant on the side of the road, and had to take a shot… (model: Anna Tomasiello)
So we’re all spread out for the holidays and I’m now in the town I grew up in – Auburn, AL. Last night I went out to a place that used to be a restaurant but was one of the few bars open on Christmas night. The place was packed since it was one of the few options and I decided to bring the camera along. I totally forgot about the ‘zap’ man – who were the [...]
Had a chance to shoot someone in one of our Orange Exposure tank tops at the studio on Saturday. This is Jen who came down from Sacramento to shoot and modeled the tank for us:
Last night I had a rare night off so I had dinner with my friend Julie for a belated birthday party and then we went to Shine where it was Dirtybird. A good night although I still couldn’t leave the studio without a camera…
Tonight I shot a private event at the Hotel Vitale and the view there is really nice especially at dusk. I took this shot of the Ferry Building and was pleased with how it turned out. Over the weekend and tonight I’ve been reminded of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful city as San Francisco.
Last night we shot an event for Microsoft at the Metreon and it took place at the Titanic – The Artifacts Exhibit which is a pretty cool installation. I guess it’s been mega-popular as the stay has been extended until Jan 2007. There are some interesting facts and of course the historic pieces that are part of it give you a great feel for what it must have been like in 1912. I overheard some folks saying [...]
Jen Whitney, one of our former Oranges who’s gone back to photojournalism grad school at the top school in the nation – the University of Missouri – recently got her first front page lead photo for the Columbia Missourian. While we miss Jen here, she’s getting valuable experience and learning a lot about farm animals and 4H to boot – things we definitely were not able to teach her here at Orange!
