Wanting to include more ‘people’ in some of my work. This weekend stepped outside the show for a few minutes to do some ‘test shots’ of Kelsy. Bad, bad mid-day sun, but overcome with some digital work. Often see awful skin-tones on multiple-exposure work, but so far not too bad. Some basic touch-up but being test shots, not too worried about it…

Kelsy in old trailer by show barn in RoundTop, Texas

That worked out OK, so lets try putting one of the trailer shots in an ‘environment’. I shot a stone bridge earlier that morning over at the Festival Institute and thought that might make an interesting backdrop. Lighting matched ok, and liked the sun tunnel effect. Masking ect, really over-sharpened this puppy, and toned down the vibrancy quite a bit.

‘Lady of the Lake Kelsy’! ;)

Not too bad for something unplanned. Kelsy is quite expressive and hope to get to do some real shots soon :)

Pics coming soon – here is a girl I met on the street in the neighborhood by Hollywood Cemetery. She’s telling me where things are…

Come see me in Rockport, Texas for the Rockport Art Festival this weekend! :)

Pulled into Louisville, found a spot for my rig, walked a little over half a block and found this. – more shots from this locale later :)

 The blue wall with the drainage pipes against the Red Brick and Yellow muck gives me a real aquatic feeling ;)

Originally named Hydrofallic: Thanks Lee Ann for helping me come up with a ‘better’ name ;)

In a back ally shooting with Todd Shaak…

Ok, finally posting some St. Louis shots. Worked on some Water pipes a few days ago but let’s start with a ‘twist’ on the familiar…

‘Rails to the Arch’

Yeh, I like light posts ;)

Easy travel Day today – just across Illinois & Indiana into Louisville, KY. Shot a lot around downtown and along the waterway. Will post some later… sleepy :)
