One extreme to another

From New York City to Mt. Whitney...

I think this is the 1st weekend that I've actually sat around in a long time. I've had time to look at some of my photos and catch up on some other things. It's been nice.

Anyways, this is a photo from Mt. Whitney. I had a chance to hike up there last weekend this is at the 97 switchbacks and the sun is starting to rise. I was using a a Canon S90 and it's amazing how clear the images are from such a small camera. It also saved from me having to lug another 15 lbs. of gear, even better.

Recovery...

Back in San Diego for a few days now. Still recovering from an amazing trip! I can't even put it into words. I will be trying to put it into images, still working on that.
From a equipment stand point. I am glad I didn't take a bunch of lights. It would have been a real pain because I didn't have a PA or permits. I don't know if I would have gotten what I was looking for... Less was better for this trip. New York already has so much going on, so many different light sources I think trying to make myself work with what I had was a munch better option and in someways a challenge.
This is a clip from shooting in Time Square @ around 1:00 am. The City really doesn't sleep.

And that's how you do it...

The show was great! All the designers were great! It was nice seeing San Diego so well represented by designers, models and photographers, me.
I am done... I've had a great time in New York personally and professionally. Tons of photos to edit down, about 60 gigs and that's not even the video. :-/
Anyways, going to eat. I am starving!
We'll see what tomorrow has in store...

Tuesday?

It's 10 am in Columbus Circle on Tuesday morning, already? I am having my cup of coffee and watching the greatest show on earth, us...
We shot in Time Square as planned last night. It turn out well. I think? Again, I don't have my laptop to download and process the images. There is also some more video clips. Which looked good but I need a wifi connection to upload them and people are tight with their wifi in New York. Stat Bucks wifi is a joke. There are 900 people in every store all milling around.

Today is the runway show. Gotta clean my kit are make sure everything is charged a ready to go for tonight. Other then that well see were the day takes me.

Monday

Had a fun afternoon shooting with Ashtynn in central park and the upper westside. I'll have to wait till I get home to load the images. I didn't bring my laptop. I wanted to see how I would do with just my iPad. For far so good.

We used just natural light and a sun scrim most of the day. I did use my flash off camera a bit. Not sure about those yet... I'll see later this week. We also got some more video. I need to take a nap but there is so much more I want to do! Gotta love New York. I can't wait till the fashion show tomorrow. I think we are going to try a shoot a bit in Time Square tonight.

This is a photo Ashtynn and I after shooting talking about PhotoBadAssery in Star Bucks. Thanks Ashtynn's mom for the photo :)

Evening one...

Well it took 3 hours to get from JFK to the city. I think I could have walked faster. I was starving by the time I got to my hotel. They didn't serve food on the flight, WTF? I ate at Carnegie Deli. It was so good and I felt like crap after, but it was so good!
Anyways I ended up at the Unite party in SoHo had a great time met tons a very cool and creative people. I got some good event shots. I made the mistake of having a red bull, crap... Ended up at a bar in hells kitchen and just got back to my room. It's 3 am and I am listening to the garbage men picking up trash while I am typing this.
Doing a shoot tomorrow. The logistics are sketchy right now but it will work out. Need to stop of at B&H tomorrow to get a few things then off to the shoot. Some where, at some time? :-/
