I just happened to be searching for photo locals for my upcoming photo shoot and lo and behold I found myself with Jon & Crystal Baize on Google Maps Street view!! It was during their session in '07.
Finally looked at that the other night and realized that it was the photo shoot back in Nov 07 with Crystal and I. I forgot we saw the truck drive by that morning.
I've been itching to add some new looks to my photography arsenal and have been inspired my movies, music videos and a few magazines. This weekend I got out all my gear and asked Chris to be my test subject. Chris was a trooper for the weather was not the kindest. Here are the results of my first attempt at a new look I'll be offering. I would love to read your comments and reviews of these photos.
That's it for now. If you found this post valuable, please share with others. Also show some love and leave a comment. Thanks!
I love the new look! I think the shots are great, too. The action and story of the first is excellent. The DOF on the portrait is great - background just fuzzed enough to not be distracting, but still enough detail to add interest. I LOVE the last one - my only complaint is the telephone lines. Some might not mind, but - while "authentic" - they're a little distracting for me.
I received some GREAT news this week. Photo District News (pdn) just released their survey they had last year and I was one of the 30 most influential photographers of the decade.
Here's a snapshot.
I am honored to be among the list and surrounded by other great photographers. I'm also very thankful to all of you who voted for me in the contest. Everyday I thank God for this gift/blessing he has given me.
