After working on the lighting below with bgirl420 I attended a local photographer-model shoot. If you have read my journal you know how I feel about these things but hey, Palegothgoddess and JJ Plush were to attend.(JJ did not make it). So I went to see who had it and who didn't locally ( Read more... )

Well, the shoot for yesterday got canceled. The model for it never got back in touch with me after I sent her a brief with studio ideas. Weird because she emailed me many times before about setting up a shoot. Sometimes the reality of modeling for someone freaks people out I guess ( Read more... )

After the shoot with Marissa below, bgirl420 and I had an experimental session. We tested different lighting effects with the intent of taking what we learned and using it in a formal session.

Back to our irregularly scheduled program:
After the shoot with d1g17aldr3am3r I had a brief session with blessed_damned. I went from Michigan to Canada for this one. Unfortunately, I got extremely lost (I ended up in Canton or Trenton) then grilled at the border. I think out of the years I have been shooting this was the 2nd time I was late for a shoot. A very bad lateness ( Read more... )

Well, I ain't dead. I am alive and well. Here is what has been going on which partially accounts for why I have been away ( Read more... )
