Some fun from back in my model shooting days. Sure miss those shoots!

Comicon Series, Day 7, Finale

Leica M9

I'm going to end this series with my favorite. Although I haven't done that much model shooting, I know enough that you can't really create stunning work without a connection. The photog and the model have to connect, even if it is for the most fleeting of moments.

Thank you, Valerie, for the brief connection. I hope I did you proud!

Comicon Series, Day 6

I really liked this girl, she was spunky. I doubt that is her character's name however.

Comicon Series, Day 5

Or, perhaps I should have titled this Fun Friday? Andy anyway, who cares what character she is?

Comicon Series, Day 4

No need to adjust your monitor! This is Straight Out Of the Camera! Who is she?

Comicon Series, Day 3

Okay, who is this character?

Comicon Series, Day 1

Leica M9

Well, I wasn't planning this series, but I'm pretty excited about it. Last week I learned that there would be a Comicon event in Seattle, and so with a couple of friends we went to shoot it.

I fell back on my model shooting skills, learned in California before I moved to Seattle. I have to say the young people were just great. To get a blog worthy image, this is a tough environment. You have just a few seconds with people. They are on their way to one of the event halls, and you stop and ask them for a shot. There are a ton of people around. So it was a challenge!

Very sweet, and wanted to be seen!

So we'll have several days of interesting portraits coming up!

Model Monday

Leica M9, 50mm F/1.4

When I knew Megan and I would go shooting at this bunker in Fort Ward here on the Island, this was the one pose I had preplanned. Happy with how it came out!

Fun Friday - these boots were made for ??

Leica M9, 50mm F/1.4, f/8, 1/60, iso 1000

While strolling through the Brooklyn Bridge Park I came across many people shooting models, friends, wedding parties - you name it! It wouldn't really be polite to jump in and start shooting away at someone's model though.

But as I approached this one, there was no way I wasn't going to sneak a shot of these boots. Sadly, I don't have a memory of what the rest of her looked like. Someone that would wear these has to be interesting, wouldn't you say?

I have mentioned previously how much I miss the model shooting group I belonged to, back in Sacramento, right? Just checking.
