This past weekend I’ve been in Portland and in Idaho visiting family and taking leaps at learning new things. I’ve also been spending more time on Twitter lately. If you’re on Twitter, make sure to follow my feed as I’ll be twittering new blog posts and updates.
Here are a handful of photos taken during the trip.
Imperial Motion (IM), as of a few weeks ago, launched a new blog catering to artists and photographers that they felt deserved some recognition. About two months before the launch I was contacted and asked to take part in this blog. I haven’t had much to post as of lately, but I did give them access to pull images from my blog so that they could post. IM decided to go with the GirlTalk photos from The Capitol Hill Block Party. Some of those photos were also used in an upcoming interview with Greg Gillis for Slug Magazine.
Yesterday was an inspirational day to say the least. Glazer’s camera is holding lighting talks and demonstrations this weekend over at their main store as well as their lighting and rental stores. They are also having a sale–10% off all of their lighting equipment.

Hasselblad, Epson and Bowens reps were present and showing their most expensive products. The studio actually hosts a full production business. There are sound studios, green screen, video editing suite, make-up/dressing area, client suite as well as a design suite all in this building.
Around 8:00PM Benro brought a model onto the seamless and set up his Profoto setup and explained how he shoots and works with models from start to finish. If you take a look at the following picture, you can see that he was shooting tethered to a 24″ iMac. The detail was amazing when viewing the file at full size.
After talking with Olùgbènrò for a minute or two, I noticed that he uses a large, definitely custom hand strap. I asked him about it and he quickly filled me in. Olùgbènrò had started a company called Grip60. >>>CONTINUE READING FULL POST
