Day 052
oh what a day!
i cant really go into all of it [lazy] but suffice to say the shots will be great, i had an amazing dinner (made up for the theme-park grade burger i had for lunch), and just really enjoyed everything about today except cold feet and traffic gridlocked with moronic drivers.
here is a tiny taste of what today was:
Day 051
already really tired, but on the up swing it seems the shots for tomorrow went from "meh" to "oh, cool," all in the course of a zoo tour.
incidentally, i dont normally enjoy zoos but this one [indianapolis] is pretty solid. even in winter it made me pretty happy. i saw a polar bear swim, as well as dolphins, sea lions, and a walrus. i saw meerkats, bird things, lizard and turtle things, and a few big ass elephants. i even got to pet alls up on one of them. Tombi. thats her name. petted her side, felt the soft part of her ear. it was pretty great.

Day 046
slowly getting more exhausted. so so much to do starting the beginning of next week. two shoots here in the city, one in indianapolis, one in DC, one in georgia, south carolina, florida, and missouri. should be done by the first week of march.
i am letting myself slide today with a photo of myself feeling really tired. i was going to post an image of matthew mayfield again from more i edited for him but i'll be getting the film back soon so i figured i'd wait for that.

Day 043
today was pretty long. i went to bed at midnight, woke up sharply at 4 am paranoid of over sleeping on the first shooting day for the february project. slept again but had to get up a bit after 5 anyway. but i feel great about the day..i can't WAIT to see the film. i love the rz. it feels so solid.
today's shoot was of these two brothers (mostly of the kid in the blue / green) out at lake martin.
please consider this image a placeholder until the film gets back--its a digital shot meant as a daily to show the client. the film stuff is going to look amazing.
also, i am watching the shawshank redemption AGAIN. or finishing it anyway. i can really watch it at the drop of a hat.
say hello to joe and justin
Electric lion favorites
Here are some favorites from the electric lion project I've been working on. Soon I'll be revamping the layout with illustrations by the gloriously talented Julia Heglund.
what and how i am shooting its pretty obviously all over the board and i actually really like defaulting to variety. i had thought about trying to shoot in a specific way (as in, only one camera, or only black and white, or something limiting like that) but i decided against it and its been a nice "free" factor in such a structured project. forty-two days down, lots to go.
Day 042
so yesterday was a blast and i'm sending the film out today to be returned to me in a fortnight. cant wait to see how it comes out
today im shooting megan and steven (i may shoot something else too, just...because why not)
tomorrow starts the first day of shooting for the big feb project. i cant decide if i am going to post dailies from that or other work that is unrelated. i suppose it doesnt matter a ton.
anyway here is matthew from a couple of nights ago
