The life and times of an animator, a photographer, and a geek.
Nearly 200 zombies wandered around Fremont on Sunday afternoon for the 2007 Fremont Zombie Walk. Observers were perplexed, afraid, and amused. A few people were “eaten”. And I’m still finding patches of dried fake blood on my jeans and my jacket. :)
Check out some photos from the event in my Flickr photostream.
Last Friday was the opening reception for the Seattle Flickrites October Photo Show at Cafe Vega. It was a crazy 2 hours filled with lots of coffee and wine, great conversation, art admiration, and at least 60+ people filing up the cafe and part of the street corner. I know that one piece was sold that night, and I’m sure others will sell over the next few weeks. It was an awesome show, and I recommend that that everyone get down there to check it out when they can. Check back in my previous post for location information.
Last weekend I finally got a chance to check out my shots from The Good Foot’s 2nd Annual 4TheLuvofit B-Boy/B-Girl Jam (I handed over my cards to the organizers so they could grab what they needed right away). The lighting conditions weren’t ideal, but, overall, I’m pretty happy with what I got that night. There were plenty of great frozen action shots that would make good ad material on The Good Foot’s site. You can check out a few of my personal faves in my Flickr photostream.
I met Lisa and Anna the other night during the Flickr/Strobist shoot at a parking garage on the UW campus. They were just passing through with one of Allen’s friends, and while the guys were talking, I asked if they wanted to model for me. They hesitated for a bit but eventually agreed.
Once I got the OK, I setup a couple of lights next to one of the blank concrete walls, fired off a few test shots to get my exposure, then did a whole series of the girls individually and together. Lisa (on the left) was a little unsure about the whole thing, but I did manage to get her to relax and smile without looking too nervous and tentative. Anna (on the right) had no problems modeling for me. She seemed to be having a lot of fun, because it was tough to get her to not smile.
I’ve shown my picks from the shoot to Lisa and Anna, and they both love the shots I got. In fact, they’re both interested in doing another shoot with me. I guess this just goes to show that it never hurts to ask people if it’s OK to photograph them. It’s also good to have business cards on you, so those people can contact you later. ;)
More photos from my impromptu shoot with Lisa and Anna are available in my Flickr photostream.
