Panoramas
Posted on December 31, 2007
So I’ve been working on a few panoramas lately - here are the first couple I’m satisfied with. They’re best viewed large (*very* large) - the sunset one, especially - there’s a little sliver of moon you can only see in the prints… Don’t you wish you lived in McCall too? Enjoy.

Testing… Is this thing on?
Posted on December 31, 2007
So I’m finally back from Christmas vacation… Time to get this blog thing working!
So while I was home, my brother and I ended up being pretty bored for a few hours… So we did what any self-respecting photographers would do and pulled out our cameras and started playing with lights. We started out with my sister’s car as the subject - no, I won’t tell you how we did this - but it involved quite a bit of trial-and-error (and using my spiffy new Canon 1Ds I picked up a couple hours before meant I had to figure out how to get it to work too)… Here’s the result - not quite production work but not bad for a first try - running around in the street at midnight waking up the neighbors 
After that one was done we decided to go ahead and crash, but the next day David realized he needed a picture of himself for his website, so we went to town on that, in the rain for a bit too… The first few are David and the others are me.
You’ll see if you look at his site (www.unpluggedphotography.net) - we have slightly (ok, very) different styles… I tend to thing geometrically and compositionally, while he tends to pick up expressions… We also see light in the opposite way… He likes photoshop, while I very much don’t… He comes from a portrait background, while I started in photojournalism… So we’re about as different as it gets - which is why we work together whenever possible

Testing…
Posted on December 5, 2007
This is a Tennessee Log Homes national campaign that I shot… It was my second job. Ever. No joke. It is also the first house I’ve ever taken pictures of. I literally drove around looking for something to take pictures of, found this, used the images for my first portfolio… The first person I showed it to (and this is a total accident) was the son of the contractor who built it… He showed it to his dad, who sent it right up the ladder (after telling me I was hired)… I was in completely over my head, but it came out very well, everything considered! You can actually find this house for sale at MLC Sothebys McCall, or to see it in person, it’s out at Tamarack - just take the right turn into tamarack, then just go straight and it’ll be on your right.
