Paco Underhill

On page 45 of this week’s BusinessWeek there is a portrait I took for them of Paco Underhill.  Something of a retail guru, this is the guy who came up with the wide aisle, sit around browsing, coffee shop style book store stuff.

Anyway, here’s the pre-crop/pre-bad-CMYK-converted original and one additional shot I liked.

Jessica

Sometimes it’s fun to go back and play with an old image you never got around to.  This shot was taken when I shot Jes for my 365 Portraits project last year and I bumped into it while flipping through the 60,000 images on my drive.  I’ve got enough raw material (pun intended) to keep me busy for years if I wanted to.  Exercise is good.

More Red Horse People

Early last year I took portraits of everyone who worked at the cafe on the ground floor of my building.  Well, they’ve got some new people and asked if I could catch up with the current crew.  So here’s a couple I’ve done in the last couple of days.  Both are available light, the first in the daytime using window light from across the room. The second is just a couple of tungsten bulbs hanging from the ceiling.

Eggle-who?

Two more from Somerville, and two more where I’m trying to be Eggleston.

Silent Service – Individual Portraits

Somerville

Sometimes you’ve got to stop trying to be Mark Seliger and try to be William Eggleston instead. Anyway, here are some street shots from dusk today.

Silent Service – Group Shots

I shot my friend’s band earlier today up here in Boston.  Some group shots and some individual.  I’ve got work to do on a lot of images, but here are a few group shots, one with just window light, the next using a flash, the last is obviously a composite (it’s supposed to be rough looking).  Usually I’m a individual portrait guy, as groups tend to have too many variables to juggle.

I will freely admit that I have no real idea how these look as I’ve edited them on my laptop.  So if they look like crap, cut me a little slack for a few days until I can do them for real.  thanks.
