Figure workshop – Jennifer 01

I got in touch with a Sacramento-based portrait photographer by the name of Tim Engle, after I wrote up an article about him and his photography.  He invited me to join the photography group he started, and luckily shortly thereafter, he ended up putting on a

The Brightness Is Bright

Another photo from the Apple Hill trip.  Again, forgot the farm name, but there was this huge stack of apple bins behind the barn-type building, and I got a few interesting shots.  I don’t shoot enough of patterns and whatnot, so I thought I’d do

Brother From A Different Mother

I’ve had this shot lying around in Lightroom for a while, and I never got around to doing anything with this day’s shots.  We went up to Apple Hill in October, and this one was a collaboration between Steve and I (mutual idea, his iPhone).

Day 4/365 – Street Fighter IV

I know, I know.  I’m horrible.  I only got Day 1 because it was after midnight during an existing shoot, and I didn’t even bust out the camera on Day 2 or 3.  Wow, talk about fail.  Anyways.  I decided that I really need to

Day 1/365 – Krissy Vomit

Just a quick post, but here’s a shot of Heidi, same night as the last shot of Ivan.  Just using on-camera bounced flash off of a low ceiling, and an optical slave camera left at a 45.  Nothing special, but I like this one, so

Alas, Vivitar 285, I barely knew ye

I just recently picked up the pretty wicked awesome Vivitar 285 oldschool full manual flash.  I played with it a few times just goofing off at the home, but on Monday night, I went out to Midtown to hang out with my good buddy Ivan,

A rare self-portrait, Strobist style

Decided to bust out some of the camera gear for once…  After the party the other night, I noticed something odd…  The crappy little two-AA-powered Minolta Auto118X that I’ve not used at all up until the party is bright…  REALLY bright…  Way brighter than the

Steve’s Xmas Party 1

Steve had a Christmas/holiday party at his house on Friday.  It was set up to be the afterparty of our work holiday party, however we ended up not going.  A few people showed up, Joe, Jen, and Jake brought the beer pong table, and we
