Joshua – Now with more motion!

  Joshua returned for the 2nd of 3 scheduled shoots. In this shoot, I wanted to play with a black background and do some motion studies.  I knew what I wanted to do, but during the setup, I had to use myself as the dancer. Thank goodness no one saw that.  It ranked right up...

Joshua – Destined for Greatness!

Another recent priveledge was working with Joshua.  This guy loves dance – Ballet, Irish Step, the styles of Martha Graham et. al.  Well spoken and dripping with enthusiasm for his craft, he’s like a leaping encyclopedia of dance.  In fact a friend of mine recently told me he had never seen anyone so “Leapy”. During our...

Sasha

Snow and a conflict of schedules has delayed a photo shoot I had been trying to schedule with Sadie and Sasha.  So when I was able to schedule Sasha alone, I took it.  Here are some images from the shoot with her.  I’ll probably add more as time allows. As you can see, Sasha is...

Meet The Photographer

At a recent trip to the bookstore, I happened on a Time Magazine cover that made me laugh the minute I saw it.  I thought the photography was great and the timber of the photo humorous, so I thought, “Let’s give the photographer some of that sincerest form of flattery we’re always hearing about.” So...

Al Perry - Dave,

Another masterpiece from the master.

Not sure your image isn’t better than Time’s.

Lots of good stuff on your blog including, of course, the race for the cure.

The Sisters Grimm

I recently took a class with award winning British photograper Drew Gardner (http://www.drewgardner.co.uk/).  My goal in working with Drew was to push myself to discover new ways of being creative.  I really like the idea of  “Story” in photographs and the idea-driven narrative that permeates Drew’s signature style. I decided that I wanted to create a scene from a...

admin - Thank you all for the incredibly kind comments. And thank you Lara for the link!

I was completely unaware of it and couldn’t be more thrilled.

Michael was soooo kind in showing his appreciation that among other things, he let my daughter be the very first kid to know the name of the next book – The Inside Story.

I’m not letting the cat out of the bag now because I saw it was announced on Michael’s website at:

http://www.michaelbuckleyonline.com/s/Stuff_Im_Working_ON.html

We are eagerly awaiting the movie :0) as well as the last two books in the series.

Thanks again for the extremely kind words. They are appreciated more than you can know!

Buddy can ‘ya spare a thigh?

A group of young Youtube filmmakers were filming some zombie sequences this last weekend, and I was fortunate enough to be able to do a little shooting of some of the characters. These young professionals are currently known as NSBEntertainment.  If you visit YouTube.com and put NSB Entertainment into the search box, you’ll find lots...
