Day 1249 of 365 4 lyf. 1000 days ago I fiinshed converting the original master bedroom in our house into my new studio. It seems like so long ago now. Now I’ve spent like a gazillion dollars on additional lights and equipment and I need a new studio again. Blah, why I can’t I be…
Day 1184 of 365 4 lyf. Another day with no ideas. That means a prime opportunity to test my new light. One of the few things that you can do wtih strobes that you can’t do well with hot lights is frozen motion, so I figured I’d give that a shot. Well, it’s something different…

Day 235 of 365 days. I’ve done long exposure shots before, even in this project, so I was really hoping to use this weeks Class With Dave assignment to do something else, but I haven’t had the time what with working on my paper (I’ve gotten it "complete." Tomorrow is for editing and turning it…
