A Recent Shoot

This is from one of the shoots I recently shot. It seems that I have just been really slow to get back into the swing of shoots as much as I was this time last year.

Admission: Free This is a very cool exhibition  - It is not of "finished" artwork but instead is sketches out of the artist sketchbooks. It is showing the concepts and thoughts that the artist were thinking BEFORE working on the actual piece. -- There is a lot of work in the exhibition, hope you all can get down there and take a look!! (My artwork is not in the show - But I helped work on the show itself and will be there at the opening reception.)

Last Minute Labor Day Shoot

     A few days before Labor Day weekend I had seen this building that was in the process of being torn down - and I thought I just HAD to SHOOT THERE!! =)    .... BUT.... the construction crew is there ALL the time and then there are people around from morning till 11pm...  PLUS 24 hour security!

      I wasn't sure if it would even be possible to get into the location to shoot.... but on Fri. afternoon when the construction crew had left I tried to get inside of the fence. I quickly walked around the site but was seen in minutes and had to take off running!  I wasn't sure if it would even be possible to get in there and shoot ... the only time that I thought I might get in there was on a Sunday - BEFORE they finished clearing the area. I just figured that I would not be able to get in there and shoot since my sister was getting married on that Sunday and by the following weekend they would be finished disposing of the building and rubble.  

    Which would have been correct.... but it was LABOR DAY weekend which meant that the construction crew would take the Monday off - so at the last minute I got a model - got over there, snuck thru the fences and started to shoot! After a little while we saw the security guards coming by and we took off thru the rubble and archway - thru the bushes and fence and got away with some cool images! Here are 2 from the shoot.
