Shoots sometimes don't happen...

Saturday I was supposed to drive up to Mt. Laguna to the abandoned Air Force base to do a grime type shoot. Well, it rained. Instead I did a photo shoot of Heidi, my favorite glamazon... in my garage.
Then today, it was sunny! I thought, "What a GREAT day to go to Mt Laguna!"

I get up there... it was snowy. Not too cold, but icy everywhere. We get up to the abandoned buildings, ignoring the "NO TRESPASSING" signs, and commence shooting. Right up until the police came. Damn it...

Oh well, it was a more expensive shoot than I originally planned for. Shit happens.

Here are some photo of the shoot I did with Heidi. Enjoy

Photos of an unwilling subject

When Photographing an obstinate or unwilling subject, the best thing to do is to shoot them in their natural habitat, somewhere they are comfortable. Dillon hates when I take pictures of him, so I try to take them while he is doing something that he enjoys doing... or at least can't get up and run away during.



This is Dillon. He hates when I take pictures of him. I do it anyway though. This is an infrared image.

Haha this is Dillon at a slow shutter speed, low light. I told him to close his eyes really tightly, then open them up wide. This... is scary.


This is an infrared shot of Dillon at the computer.

It's been a while.. I know, I suck at blogging

Since November, I HAVE taken pictures... I just have yet to put them up. Sorry. I will. Soon even.

This weekend, I am going up to an abandoned Air Force installation to take photos. Most will be taken with my Canon ae-1 35mm film camera. Some will be taken with my Nikon D70 for the website.

The theme I am going to follow is juxtaposition... with wine!

Yes, there will be wine. I'm sure that at the shoots the bottles will start out full... and end up empty. That's how I roll.

Here's my counter top, just so you know I'm serious:
