New visions...

I keep images laying around that at the time I captured them have no real use other than to be available in a"what if" situation.This morning I looked at one of them after seeing a wonderful sky yesterday. I started the "what if" dialogue and so far this is where I'm at. I don't really think I'm finished with this..............time will tell.

Amazing numbers !!! 793,248

I just checked my Google + rating as to the number of views and I'm at 793, 248 views. It looks like one million views is just around the corner. I find it interesting that Blogger, a google product, counts views differently than Google as to the number of views. I guess stranger things have happened then the the counting methods between two divisions in a company.

I'm marketing to several new clients........

I have been experimenting with some different angles, no pun intended, on light and how they work with different products.  I'm referring to the source of the light in actuality. I'm refining it into a softer rounding light source that is easy to use, find, and model. Some clients of mine have posed this problem to me and I want to solve it for them and myself. It really came to me as I worked Saturday in the studio, These are the results, and

I'll have more to come as the week progresses.

Added benefit...........

I just spoke with the Interior Designer I'm working with on several projects. After a meeting with his clients in Stillwater, he had told me that they are going to need more images for the project he is working on. Hot damn......I love my job....

French Bikes.......

Outside of Paris I saw this collection of bicycles that seemed to me to be placed there just for me. I really liked the random arrangement and the muted colors. They really speak more of the European idea of transportation, simple, efficient, and non-problematic. Flashing back to my growing up years it all made sense. Hop on the bike and get to where we needed to go, usually in a pack of kids. Maybe I need to check the air in my tire on my bike and try it again.

Really busy...marketing and shooting..

Hopefully today I'll be able to finalize the DVDs I'm sending out to clients old and new. I have been working on an assignment from an interior decorator for a hospital corridor and I think he has decided on the 6 shots he'll use. It's been fun, challenging and has gotten me away from the drudgery of marketing. I enjoy putting the concepts together but the details in finalization drive me crazy. There are always a few hiccups on the marketing journey and this time has been no exception.

The image below is one of my favorites in the collection.

More news coming soon.....I love my new camera....
