Retro Chairs for my office!!!
These came out so cool that I just had to show them off. I bought these last month for my office, so all my future clients coming to meet with me, are gonna have a nice comfy seat. I bought them at GUFF on Queen street in Leslieville, they sell quality used furniture.
Below is the before and after photos, I was told they’re dated from the 60’s, Princess Perfect on Pape did the restoration for me, and I really want to thank Lisa for the great service, and allowing me to bring in my own fabric. We chose this great olive colored micro fibre, hopefully will hold up good with the cats. They look like suede.
Cheers Gary
Chair Before
I love the attention to detail that was put into this.
Vistek Mississauga
I want to thank Vistek for offering me the opportunity to have my work exhibited, at there newest location in Mississauga. The store is located at 5840 Mavis Road, and is a really unique space. If you have time to stop by and see the work, please let me know what you think. The exhibition is a mix of my favorite landscapes, and portraits, that I’ve done over the years. It should be running through out the holiday season, and if you want to make a purchase please have a look at our online gallery.
Portraits with Dana Tartau
I just wanted to thank Dana Tartau, for working with me on Saturday and Sunday, while I was teaching a 2 day on going lighting seminar, at Vistek in Mississauga.
The event was a huge success, and I made allot of new friends, and met some awesome photographers.
I had to post just one shot from the event here, for now, and I will post more as soon as I’m done looking at them all.
This shot was done with an Elinchrom 600RX, and The Deep Throat light modifier, with a Gold Deflector, no diffuser.
So just a little about the work flow, by the way one of these was shot with a Nikon D3, all of the rest with my Canon 1DS Mark lll, let me know which one you think was the D3.
All images were shot in RAW, and processed with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, and I just learned how to use the Soften Skin brush, and I’m really liking the look.
“Gary Marx”
I just had to post this on my blog, because I think it is hilarious.
My friend Courtney took this photo of me back in the mid 80’s, and she has been having some fun with photoshop, anyway back than everyone said I looked like Richard Marx.
What do you think?
Scanning with Adobe Lightroom Version 2
I’ve been combing old photo shoots that I did in the 80’s, 90’s and I’m looking at photos in a whole new light. Images that I never looked at twice are suddenly amazing. Case in point, when I found this beauty shot that I had taken in 1990, I never even marked it as a keeper. I scanned this with my Nikon Coolscan 8000 using Silverfast AI 6. The image had very little effects applied to it in the scanning software, but I have uploaded 2 versions, and the 2nd is just with a bit of work in Lightroom.
I love version 2. I don’t have the models last name, but this was Tiffany and she was with Wilhelmina models and I shot this in the Spring of 1990. I think what I really love about the shot, is that it is timeless. You really cannot tell that it was shot 18 Years ago. The image stands up as well today, as it would have back than. I just cannot understand why it did not appeal to me than, and it does now. I guess this is one of the reasons I’m reviewing all of the piles of images that I have in filing cabinets.
Let me know what you all think.
