Just shooting the people of Carlsbad from the hotel balcony

A day in Hollywood with my Son John




After a long day of travel John wanted to see LAX and Hollywood.  So we made the 100 mile trek from Carlsbad to Hollywood. We spent the rest of the day doing drive by shots of land mark names and places.

The program in Dallas, Captured by the Light, was an excellent experance.  The main subjects lighting and composition were very well done.  Each detail of composition was explained and diagramed with persision.

What to do when a client wants to shoot a commerical in the middle of a session.

What do you do when you are shooting an actor head shot and the client says "I should do a lipstick commerical sometime" ?  You shoot the image for the commerical before moving on!!
