Seattle

I will be relocating to Seattle in June and am really looking forward to shooting in that area.

One of the magazines that I regularly shoot for called to ask if I was available to work with them on a story about a Pro Footballer who runs a training facility in their area. 

I was kind of busy. I had just been loaned a copy of the directors cut of the new Miami Vice movie.

I didn't mention that I would have jumped at the chance to have shot the story, maybe even jumped over a burning case of Miami Vice DVD's to have scored the job.

I was eager to try out my new extended TTL cable as well and came up with a lighting scheme that would take advantage of this great new bit of gear.

The lighting is from a Speedlite thru an umbrella slightly forward and above the subject with two Speedlites coming in from the rear of the subject on both sides.

I came up with the idea for him to be doing a push-up on the football....actually I can't remember how this idea came to me, but I wish I could get in touch with letting those kind of thoughts flow more freely. I have been spending a lot of time considering how to spend more time in this frame of mind recently. I have been getting into the deep complex areas of my creative mind and really finding that getting ideas on paper....whatever they happen to be....is a good approach. Basically just letting the wheels turn with no real care for the destination and when the time seems right throwing in a few job specific thoughts.

I'll keep you posted on this...It is a work in progress after all.
