On the Ceiling

Another Victim of the Florida Heat

Party!

85mm, f/1.6, 1/60s, ISO 100 (two hot lights) 

 . . . but who's invited?

(Can I just say that I love balloons? And I know they're ephemeral, fairly bad for the environment, and  intended for children, but they're instant fun. The lady we bought them from had the most amazing untraceable southern accent, and she kept repeating, "balloons bring out the child in all of us.")

What's in the Box?

A shot from our shoot today. I am LOVING doing video. Yes, it's a lot more work (not that photography is easy). But it's also a LOT of fun. And working in a team is great. And seeing the shots you envisioned materialise better than you thought was possible is just icing on the cake.

No, I'm not leaving photography. It's my number one love still. But I might just intersperse it all with some video . . .

San Francisco From Above

I'm in Florida for the week working on a super exciting video project. So naturally I took some shots out of the plane window. Man! That airplane window really degrades image quality. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Because out of quite a few photos, most are really sucky. I see now why helicopters are the vehicle of choice for most aerial photographers. No window = no sucking.

But I liked this one, even so. I was so happy to get a shot of SF with the iconic bridge and a few boats. So what if it's not razor sharp, right? Right?
