experiments

I have been experimenting with lighting and shooting still lifes at home...These are very rough "sketches"

Dining Guide

Below are some images I shot for the Star/Home News. They were putting together a Dining Guide including Deuce, Taco Riendo, and Umai Umai among others.

Experiments with Lighting

I wanted to experiment a little with lighting and get an almost softbox-esque affect. I bought tracing paper from AC Moore and taped 4 pieces together and hung them from the ceiling. The paper is on 3 sides of the subject : left, right, and behind. I then set up a metalic work light that I got from Home Depot and shined it into the paper on the left side of the subject. I think it maintained a nice natural light affect. I will be doing more with this, these images are more of rough sketches to flush out some ideas.

Standing Strong

David Lawall, owner of Lawall Orthotic and Prosthetic Services, is donating his services and travel costs for a Louisiana woman who is in need of a new prosthetic leg. Erica Gonzales is a victim of Hurricane Katrina and her current prosthetic recently deteriorated.
