Andre lighting test

Was recording Andre doing an audition piece, and shot this still when we were setting up the lighting.  We had a key light pointed at his right cheek, but hadn't added any fill to the left side of his face yet.  I added some grain, cleaned up the wall a little, and took it to B&W in post.

Adam's Collar

Adam had this great picture where everything was awesome except that this collar was sticking out on one side.  Decided to do a little Photoshop incantation and see if I could fix it.

Fountain at SMB and Wilshire

Was on the way to the beach with my friend Daniel, and I shot this fountain through the bus window.  The plexiglass window gave it a cool, gauzy look, and then I did a little color grading in Photoshop to tone down the greens and bring out the purples.

Mike's Beard

My friend Mike's been working on his beard.  We did a shoot today to preserve it for posterity.



Dawn in Hollywood, May 4th







Birds at Sunrise

This was one of those moments that I was really glad my camera was already on with the lens cap off.  Was walking across a parking lot at dawn when all of these seagulls took off.
