a short update
It has been a while since I posted here. With the holidays and a nasty cold finally over it's time to get back to work. What have I been up to?
I have a few test shoots scheduled for this week and next. One particularly interesting new girl at Supreme I'm really looking forward to working with.
I'm working on outlines for two screenplays. One is the StarFortress story about the polar bear that I have been working on since I was 18 which never seems to reach a satisfactory ending. The other is my take off on the Voltron cartoon series. I heard there is a live-action film in the works out in Hollywood, but the rumor web sites I've skimmed seem to indicate that the feature being developed is more or less Voltron in name and basic premise only, and not an expansion of the story already existent like what I am working on. These are both long term projects that I scratch on every once in a while when I have the inclination. I hope I finish both of them at some point and can send them out to studios, but at the moment they're largely just writing exercises.
I'm also kicking around an idea about producing a radio show that would deal with photography and cinematography. Sort of a guest of the week thing with leaders in cinema and commercial photography talking about how they think about their art and what is going on in that world. I don't really want to do a podcast, but it seems like that is the way to get these things launched lately. I'd much rather just make a pilot and send that out to syndicates like musicians send out demos to record labels. I have thought of the perfect name for it, but I'll hold off on making that public for the moment.
I'm having fun playing with a Pentax Optio A30 point and shoot digital camera that I picked up back in December. It's 10 megapixels and records decent video clips. Not perfect in low light conditions, but what digital camera is really.
I also picked up a second Hensel beauty dish when I got the new camera, but I haven't used it yet. I don't use Hensel lights, but the dishes fit my AlienBees kit lights well enough. No such luck on the ProFoto line.
My credentials were confirmed yesterday for the February 1-8 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week here in New York, so I'll be in the pit at the end of the runway again. You can see some of my Spring and Fall 2007 runway and backstage images in the runway image gallery on my website.
