My love for music (in this case the Lemonheads) and my love for photography combine to make this sublime image. I have a few more cool ones from this shoot I'll share later.
I'll be driving up the coast to Sacramento tomorrow for xmas. Then it's off to Houston until New Year's Eve. Chances are, this will be my last post of 2006. But I'll surely have many photos to share next year.
Happy holidays!
Saturday I had a photo shoot with a professional actor, a stunning young model and her mother.
Here are some photos from the shoot.
They are pretty high res so they are probably suitable for printing.
All of the photos from the 10k/5k that I shot last Saturday are up over at fotojack.com. There are over 6000 photos from this event! My photos scattered throughout but nearly all of the first 14 1/2 pages are mine.
So if you want to check some out, go to this link and start browsing.
As previously mentioned, our heroes Chevas, Lisa and Andrea ran in the race. You can search their bib numbers for more photos.
I'm pretty pleased with the results over all. I think I took a lot of good photos and I hope the runners find their way to the site and purchase some of them. Fotojack will even put your picture on Wheaties box... pretty cool.
I did learn that for an event of this size, I will need to invest in more memory cards. I have nearly 2.5GB worth of cards at the moment but I could have easily shot double that for this event.
I also learned that my new lens is perfect for just this sort of thing. It's the Canon 28-135mm with image stabilization. The runners were flying by me at a steady rate and the lens had no problem auto focusing. Which left me free to think about composition.
Right about now you're probably saying, "Gee Sean, we love the photos, but where can we download live versions of the new, unrealesed Wilco songs?"
Well, I'm glad you asked.
Turns out, Wilco has always been pretty cool about letting people record the shows and pass them around for non-commercial use.
So go get you some new Wilco songs courtesy of Jesse Jarnow's Frank and Earthy Blog.
I had two photo shoots on Saturday. The first one was the Venice-Marina Christmas Run. It was a 10K and 5K run through the Venice Boardwalk for FotoJack.com. I was up bright and early for the 7:30am start time (and if you read the last post you might surmise that that was no easy feat). It was a beautiful day and I submitted about 60% of the nearly 1,000 pictures I took. That included several of Chevas, Lisa and Andrea who all ran the 5K. As soon as they are up on the site, I'll post a link here.
After the run, I had about an hour to download the pics to free up my memory cards, recharge the batteries and eat before I was off to shoot the newly formed CSU Long Beach Salsa Club. It was a challenging shoot because of the large group but in the end I got a lot of really good shots and I hope they are happy with them. I'll post some more of these as well.
It was an exhausting day but I was happy to finish up the night at Fisherman's Village watching the Christmas boat parade in the Marina... alas, no pictures from that.
Winter Wonderland party in a hanger at Santa Monica airport. Left the battery to the camera at home but we got a few shots before we left.
UPDATE: Byron has cool photos from the party.
Ahhh... life in Marina del Rey. I took this picture off the pier shortly before sunset. This was one of about 10 dolphins we saw that day. Click the picture to biggie size it.
Last night Chev and I went to a Beck concert for about 200 people. It was part of Yahoo! Live Sets concert series so it should be up on there soon.
On stage was Beck, a drummer, 4 multi-instrumentalists and 4 puppeteers.
Yeah, it was surreal to say the least. As soon as they post the show, I'll link to it here.
In the meantime, here's some free live Beck tracks.
68 degrees on Dec. 1st and I'm on the edge of Western Civilization playing golf.
