this weeks work or play, whatever you call it

June 1, 2012

it’s exhausting and exciting creating. so exhausting setting up the studio from a living area but that’s the only way i can afford to make images with people. maybe i am going about this the wrong way but i really don’t know of another way. it’s like the rest of my life learn a trade then go about practice it. some become masters, i am considered  pretty good at what i do but don’t ask me.

all i see are the missed shots, the ones i could have done better, i must have funny eyes in order to see this way or could it be my irish heritage? but it is what it is and i do best i can, as Phoo would say ‘with a very small brain.’

i’ve been meaning to write again about apple and so many other things that course through my brain, for a small one it’s pretty active. but i just finished up on this photo shoot, editing and doing the post production that saves my ass. i can only fix the fixable nothing can save stupidity.

i contact a few people a week on model mayhem some who are looking for work some want to be’s looking for a professional photographer, makes me smile some i just shake my head at. but some are sincere so you never know what will walk through the door. this is what we start with.

semi nude beginning

not impressed? me neither but wait these’s more, i must admit michelle does have some bumps on her forehead which i softened in PS 4 as my PS 6 trial is over. i’ll probably buy 6 for some of it’s features but not today.

over the shoulder,

what i wanted to shoot  with this woman was lingerie but she didn’t have any outfits that matched other than this garter belt that i liked and i’ve none to share with her.

so now what am i going to do? mary bought some hats weeks ago so i’d give this a try

almost a halo

thanks TJ Max but michelle brought her fur wrap which we used

rabbit fur

more fur fun

but see the spectral lens refractions, lighting problems all day but i include this image because i like michelle’s quality

i also had another new toy some satin fabric one of my  jobs was throwing out so i dragged that back to studio

white satin with nude

which reminds me of ‘Last tango in Paris’ and i’ve no idea why

waiting

now that’s a nice sandwich, as the say at the stage deli

i tried to keep things simple, well simple for me at least.  but i am pretty committed to learning to work with my white lightning strobes instead of my tungsten lighting. i should sell it , way too much space lost to stuff.

take care and good night, i’ll be gone for a week or so doing the tony’s to earn a few bucks for gas money for the guzzler. last weekend driving back from the shore a NJ trooper pulled in behind us, then along side until he was in front, just looking at the car. people do that because it’s not every day you see american history before your eyes.

Here’s what David Pogue & the NY Times don’t what you to know about SOPA/PIPA

January 22, 2012

well getting ready for playoff sunday and running out of home improvement projects i turn to the internet, namely TED talks for entertainment/knowledge because of the way my mind works they are one and the same. i wrote about SOPA/PIPA here and blacked out this site in protest but what i didn’t know was the whole story. this TED talks video blew me away in it’s detailed explanation of what’s really going on from Clay Shirky blog

sopa/pipa

then i found this TED talk with more outstanding control information. way back in the 60’s my friends and i discussed the controlling aspects of television where if one could keep people watching images flash in front of their faces they stopped talking about well just about anything. no one said how difficult their lives where and how to maybe change it. no one discussed the world affairs. you just sat there doing nothing, well maybe consuming things. all across America and the world people sat in front of their televisions and said nothing.

but thank goodness we live in a free country and can turn off our televisions or can we? groucho marx said television was educational in that every time someone turned the set on he went to read a book. now we have the internet to control our time and the forces of control at our faces once again both criminal and corporate from Mikko Hypponen.

well i hope everyone is enjoying them selves today. snow removal done and plaster drying, so are my hands.
