2009 shot a day project – is this smart? well I did it in 2001…
So I have been asked a lot recently about whether people could pick up copies of the two physique photography books I’ve published and the answer is YES!
The Blurb Book (left) that was created a few years ago is still available and you can order your copy here. The AdoramaPix book (right) is available here – it’s got a lot fewer pix, but there are captions for each of the images.
This is pretty cool saw it posted by @mbaratz on her twitter feed and created one for myself. It’s based on my Foursquare checkins.
I thought this was a funny scene since I was photographing workers and trying to get action shots of them when this situation happened. Basically I was camped up on a balcony and getting shots of the folks bringing in tables when I noticed the one of the guys in the trucks head slowly panning. I looked and noticed there was a woman walking by and at that point snapped this shot. The guy in the truck was by now leaning out of the back of the truck and you can see the woman walking away (she did look pretty cute!).

Usually at the bodybuilding shows I cover, I have to shoot a certain way which is my standard style but adapted to physique photography. However, I’ve been wanting to do a little more when I have time to shoot something a bit more conceptual and since I’ve worked a lot with Lori we decided to try something a bit different. I still was shooting with deadlines and time limitations but I wanted to have this sort of mysteriously muscular woman theme for this part of the shoot. Not sure if it works, but I kinda like it…
of course I was shooting at the Pacific Union Club…
I’ve been trying out this 7D and shooting with it a lot and really dig it – will have a full run over my next trip to South Florida and NYC to see what it can do and will report back 🙂
Good times once again and on Friday we celebrated Andrei‘s birthday at Orange Photography. I attempted to make a time-lapse video from the stills and the result is above. I need to add music and a watermark to it next time but it came out pretty nicely… Full gallery here!
It’s always fun to tell a story by showing off moments when other things are happening that may not exactly define what is going on. Here are just two shots from a great wedding I shot a week ago here in San Francisco. Feet and body positioning can really say something…
An amusing walk down Granville Street, helping a friend of mine get late night eats resulted in this shot. This kid was scamming on girls walking by. I forgot what he said as his approach but it was pretty funny!
So there are three signs for major corporations that are visible in the silhouette of the city – can you find all three?
This kid was awesome. He was attending a cocktail/birthday party I was at tonight and was totally having a blast with the magnifying glass. I think kids enjoy this feeling of being high by just doing weird things like seeing how the world looks when distorted….
