Fun at Callaway Golf

Okay, I love golf. I don’t play near enough! So, it was a little frustrating this week when I was shooting a video project for Callaway Golf at their test center, and I didn’t hit one golf ball all day! Geez, you might as well drag me through a chocolate store, and not let me get a peanut cluster!
Minus that little frustration, we had a good time shooting a couple of the key people at Callaway as they talked about the development process of new clubs. it’s really amazing, the art and science behind making of a golf club.

Thanks gang!

I’m excited to announce my new photoshelter site that host sales of my images for stock and print sales.  I’ve included some of the most popular images in the Fine Art Collection. It is really simple to order prints, greeting cards or even a jig saw puzzle of your favorite image in here.  These galleries will be updated regularly with new images, I’ve just started the process.

Thanks for looking it over. I would love to hear your feedback on the new site.

Here are the two latest images from my trip up through the High Sierras recently. This shows you don’t always have to hike a half a day to get to your location. I found both of these right off the main highway.

Cloud Break

Sunrise at the bridge

There are times that really hit why I went into image making, this would be one of them. If I wasn’t a photographer / videographer, I would not have forced myself out of the cozy warm motorhome before sunrise to get out and set this shot up. The morning before, I found this location, but got there a little too late. I knew if I got there right at dawn, before the sun peaked over the mountain top I would have a killer view of the sun rays screaming through the morning fog off the river. I wasn’t dissapointed.

This was a good use of the new GlideTrack I just purchased, you can see in this shot . Note the can of Behold furniture spray, a must to keep the camera glide smoothly on the track.

Shot at Convict Lake California, near Mammoth Lakes.  I was searching for the change of color in the local Aspen trees, I found some here for sure.

BARD

I had another shoot with two of my long time clients, Cathy and Julia . I’ve been shooting with them for many years, and we ALWAYS have lots of laughs together. This shoot was no exception, although, the client, BARD Biopsy Systems handles issues that are not a laughing matter, breast cancer. We hired 50 extras to portray a great concept that my client came up with. Take a look at these shots before the final image to see if you can guess where we were going with all these people.

Why are we standing here like this?

Marimba and violin madness

Last week I was fortunate enough to witness this amazing piece of music played by two extraordinary musicians. We are working on a video for a client that had this piece of music commissioned for him as a gift to his wife, WOW, makes us mere mortals something to live up to right? This video is a small clip from the rehearsal performance.  I played in orchestras, and bands all through my school years, but I can’ t imagine playing this. The marimba player, (Ji Hye Jung, amazing talent)  has to read two lines of music , hitting 4 notes simaltaniously with her mallets. Watch the speed of this close up. The violin player ( Catherine Leonard ) you’ll hear in the background has just as a difficult part.

I’m posting this as a point to the appreciation of another art form other then photography or video. You have to appreciate this talent.

See video clip below:

If you saw my last post of a recent shoot with 50 extras, I apologize for posting too soon. I needed to pull that post until the client I shot for announces their new merger in early October. I’ll re-post after that is official.

Until then, enjoy this great imagery from the NY Times Magazine.
