shoot this


When a certain local prestigious university that shall remain nameless asked me to do a freelance job for them, I thought, what a fabulous idea to make some supplemental income.


The space was beautiful, but dark. I tried using my 100 pound tripod for some of the shots, but lugging that around got to be annoying quickly. Most was done hand held at less than 1/30th of a second. I held my breath a lot. And did a little praying that my shaky hands would relax.


I have to get over my fear of tricky lighting. It was nice to be shooting again. This job, while very difficult, switched on part of my brain that has been asleep for ages. Now I am ready to go to Key West with a fresh, clear head ready to shoot pretty things.

God, I totally know what you mean dude. Going through like two hours of not breathing because of lighting... dizzying
