Kristy Leibowitz

Quick portrait of photographer Kristy Leibowitz last week at the Corner Bistro. Yum, burgers.

More Brain Brushwood

A few more from my portrait shoot with Brian Brushwood.

Brian Brushwood

So I’m in Austin Texas last week with nothing to do. Honestly, the only option was to call up magician, Scam School principal, and TWiT podcast host Brian Brushwood to see if he was up for  playing with fire. It’s ok everyone, Brian literally wrote the book on fire eating.

Super simple setup. Two bare Nikon SB80 strobes in manual for the side lights. One on a stand (I only brought one) and the other sitting atop the standing lamp that was in the room (Improvise!).  One other Canon 580 Speedlight with a tiny Westcott 5×8″ softbox on it handheld by me above and slightly in front of the camera. Simple.

A dinner setup from some very nice room service people and we were all set. Below is a setup shot so you can see my beautiful light placement.

Watch out Gursky, here I come.

Street 3/31/12

Apparently watching ‘William Eggleston in the Real World‘ earlier today really messed me up.

Street Stuff with the Mark III

Took the new camera and a prime lens out for a walk this afternoon. I can safely say that there’s no need to worry about image quality and sharpness with the new sensor. It’s pretty delightful. Still getting used to it.

Tricycle

Walked by it last night. Made a point of coming back today.
Just couldn’t help myself.
