Keeping it weird during last week’s night photography workshop at Paul’s Junkyard. You really should come next time. Natural and red-gelled strobe . . . all hand held lighting. I had to composite the bottle and hand from a 2nd exposure (hey, the thing was hard to hold still!) Thanks to Kevin Balluff for the […]
VCR Repair
I wonder if they work on 8-Track players too? Movie prop at Paul’s Junkyard. There’s 3 of these identically painted late ’70s Dodges in the yard, in various states of crashedness, undoubtedly used in a filmed car chase. Shallow-angled LED flashlight and red LED through the top of the windshield near the mirror. 2 minute […]
Half a Ducati
Back half of a crashed Ducati on a pallet at Paul’s Junkyard. Red and natural LED flashlight.
The Cap’n’s Chair
Another wildly successful and totally exhausting workshop at Paul’s Junkyard is now in the books. A blast was had by all, but sleep is still at a premium. The heavily customized “Max Malini” TV prop RV lit like crazy. Lime and purple-gelled flashlights on the interior, red-gelled flashlight from outside. Interesting how the puckers in […]
Precipitate
The Precipitate art blog has posted a piece on my work as part of their “American West” issue. Lots of images accompanied by a nicely written essay on the artistic implications of, and meanings in, my work. Flattering to see my photography get noticed by these folks.
Muscular Atrophy
1973 Dodge Charger at Paul’s Junkyard. Red-gelled Stinger flashlight on the ground, blue-gelled Coast LED on the side of the car, snooted AA Maglite on the headlights. The rest is full moon light–the giant softbox in the sky. Background dodged to black.
Rigged to Roll
Interior of an early ’50s Buick, rolled for a soon to be released movie. The steering wheel was turned into a pulley so it could be remotely driven and sharply turned at speed, launching it into a tumbling crash. Shot as a demo at last April’s workshop at Paul’s, this is pretty much straight out […]
Iced
A bullet-riddled postwar Chrysler, another bizarre gem, relegated to the movie-prop purgatory that is Paul’s Junkyard. Yes, another fully-booked workshop at Paul’s (#5) starts this weekend. I can’t wait! You know you wanna go next spring so get on the mailing list! Blue-gelled strobe and natural LED flashlight.
Triad Reality
The Kenny place, a derelict homesteader shack, Wonder Valley, California. I’m sure that’s a very stale listing–the interior of this 2-roomer was trashed decades ago and yes, that’s another abandoned place off in the distance. A blazing hot July night in an amazingly desolate place. Looks like there’s lots of animal traffic here though, I […]
The Shark
Couldn’t leave it alone! Close enough to need to do a DOF composite, short enough to let the dark, night ambiance take over. Protomachines flashlight tuned to RGB.
