A Guy. A Camera. A City

I am going to start a new series to show the photos I take. Living in a City like Chicago I am always surrounded by amazing inspiration for the art I create. I often have my camera with me and will snap photos of things I find interesting.

Cool Toys

I am always loosing my USB thumb drives. I saw this on the key chain of a friend I was having lunch with the other day and asked where he got it. I ordered a couple for our team. We got the 8GB version. It is water proof and very light weight. You can order them from the LaCie web site.

RAW

This morning at park I went with a very raw look for the music segment of our service. The rest of the service had our usual look. I side lit the coroplast shapes with 3 source four par cans from either side of the stage. I also aimed 1 source four par can up into the structure from both sides. In the house I turned up the bare bulb fixtures higher than normal to provide an very ambient feel. All of this together provided a very raw warehouse feel. My favorite part of the day were the cues that took us back to a theatrical feel, it was really cool to watch the room transform it's self.
