Just got back from Vancouver where I saw my work in full effect at the Manitoba House at the games. I did the portraits and photos of the guides on the interactive kiosks within the pavilion.
I saw Susan Auch there too! I don't know her, but I recognized her!

More to come, once i am done travelling. Off to the Caribbean tomorrow.

Just another day at the office.
this is a standard setup which belies the efforts made.:
-Raise all the blinds, tape up the string and handles
-find an angle where you can light flatteringly whilst avoiding reflections.
-balance flash to ambient to ensure detail outside.
-engage subject in rapport to set them at ease, while encouraging client to check laptop for results, while on a ladder.
-work both horizontal and vertical view of same shot. hopefully getting same smile in both.
-keep it brief, they have to do some real work.
-pack up and get outta the way pronto.

I usually keep the blog to biz and such, but this can't be helped.
Lynda currently in Vancouver working for the Olympics. She is manager of venue communications, the dept that routes and controls all communications on venue. This snap is of her team outfitted with their uniforms.
Vancouver is a very exciting place to be right now and Liam and I will be visiting right in the middle of the games.

Just for fun, after all the iPad hype I dug out my old Newton. It's an amazing well built piece of gear.
