For anyone who has seen the music video Why You Wanna by T.I. does this scene look familar?

We stumbled upon the making of the video when we went to Sunset Beach on Oahu on April 19th.


[EDIT] It seems as though the MTV music video's won't play on Mac's
[EDIT 2] Here is another link if your interested in watching the video. (Go to Multimedia)

Blou Snooze & Selkie (the devil cat)

Can't remember all the settings with for this shot, but it's a scan from a photo that I took with my F65 with 28-70 Nikkor at 70 other than that it's all up in the air
Sometime in 2003, Montreal, my bed and pillow

The pig (Blou) was snoring away and Selkie was trying to push him off the pillow (5lb cat against 110lb dog) and he woke up just as I took the shot, wanted to get it with his eyes closed.

A friend of mine is a performer with Cirque de Soleil. He needed some photography of him doing a routine for his website, so he called me up and we set up a shoot. It was amazing watching him work - the amount of talent, strength and concentration required to do what he does is unbelievable.

That is a breathtaking picture, I love the flowing cloth.

I agree! I am so jealous. I would love to have the same opportunity. Mike is a big winner in this thread. Seems like a total studio setup. Bravo!

A Polaroid, 6/30/06, Ruston, LA

I had a photo shoot today with a local musician for his press kit. I used my Nikon for the actual shots, but also took Polaroids during each setup for a combined shot later in the evening. Depending on how some of the main photos turn out, I'm thinking about posting some in a new thread for feedback.

Anyway, here's a Polaroid from one setup. I used an older camera, not sure of the model number. It says one step flash on the front and is the rectangled black design.

seenew, that shot of the kids is absolutely amazing. Could you say a few words about the color and depth? One thing that always strikes me about really good, professional images, is that the color is always so....I don't know how to say it, but it's always SO much better than anything I've ever been able to do. I know a good lens is imperative, but what else? Is it in knowing how to use the lens, is it about choosing the correct parameters on the camera, is it about post-processing?

Sorry I don't have the techical vocab to explain, but you probably know what I mean.

Hey Andy, you have a PM!

On this image though, I am in awe. I mean it sincerely! You have quite an eye there. And I love the use of the old SX-70 format. In this composition, I like the use of scanning the image on note paper as well.

You may want to look at photosig.com to upload images to in order to get feedback on what more critical eyes might think. Despite what you said in your PM to me, you need to think about maybe exhibiting and selling some of your work.

It is fresh, imaginative, and different. Sort of like the MR member here that makes extensive use of the Lensbaby. Your goal may not to make money off of what you come back with - but there are those of us that would be willing to pay a reasonable price to own an image that stands out to us. Sort of like the $40US that I spent on four 5x5 matts with 3x3 prints of some really imaginative images from London during my trip to London this year (he has a stall at Covent Gardens, near the end of one of the buildings). Make your hobby give back something to you.

Take it what it is worth. My wall space is limited. Most of my own work fills the walls. Outside of the above photographer from London I mentioned, I have only three other pieces of artwork from others that I have sought out for me to own (and they are watercolors). Your accepting of my needs for your personal vision helps me. And gives me an image that I will be happy to own. (I still need to talk with Clix about hers) Shame that your days of the SX-70 are limited.

On another note. A shame that Polaroid has stopped production of the film. It will be missed by the likes of you, and those that manipulated the emulsion during processing.

Polaroids can have a cool look to them...a little soft and muted and different than you see with 35mm or digital. I have an old 1 step flash somewhere...might get it out and play with it a little.
