Yankee Stadium

What a day yesterday was! Deana and I got tickets to the Yanks 2nd game in the new stadium...they got their 1st win there ever. 70 degree weather, an 8th inning Jeter home run to take a 1 run lead, Mariano closing out the game, a amazing new ballpark and tons of ballpark food. It doesn't get much better than that (for a yankee fan).

Here's a little piece of the old stadium that still stands right across the street

My only regret was not getting 1 of these cheese steaks. Talk about fresh! They had a butcher carving up the meat right in front of you.

Yes...the stadium has sushi

Headshots

Yesterday I was called up to do a headshot for a lawfirm in Hartford. It's actually funny because they are divorce attorneys and I'm a wedding photographer which is pretty ironic. They are a great bunch of people and I've done a few jobs for them in the past.

I took a couple photos of the set up for a little behind the scenes look. I don't have the permission to post the final product so you'll have to use your imagination.

I used a 3 strobe setup. 2 pointing at the cream colored wall in the background which totally blows out the color and then 1 light in a shoot through ubrella to light the subject. I needed a little fill light on the right side so I set up my reflector to give me a little bounce from the umbrella light. It was a pretty small room with low ceilings but I was able to get some good shots. Enjoy your Thursday!

Here's the room without the background strobes going off.

The red circles are where my strobes are.

Check this out. I got a call today as I was watching ESPN and the # came up on the tv screen! So cool. This has probably been out for 20 years but I've never seen it before. I'm very amused by little things. Now I don't have to get off the couch for tele-marketers!

projects

Here's a link to some photos I took the other day in Southington, CT. I'm in the process of creating a "fine art/special projects" page to display galleries of different things I shoot on my own time. There will probably be a link off my main webpage coming soon to show off this type of work. Enjoy!
