Classic Portrait
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.
“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.

I could not have said this any better, and since I’m a huge Michael Moore Fan, I’m just going to post this link….
