New portraits

Not to be out done by her kid sister, Grace dons some fine fashions and steps into the spotlight for a session of itchy, hot clothes and trying not to smile too much or too little.

So happy to have such helpful kids to step up and suffer the glare for their father. Grace's favorite curry tonight is the reward. Olive played the role of stylist (mainly hair) and studio assistant when the need arose.

New Post

Moving forward with this project and finding new things all the time. I'm looking at Edward Muybridge and Sol Lewitt at the moment and there god almighty huge influence in the art world. Take it as bankable that I will be continuing this series with gusto and aiming for exhibition in a gallery space in the future.

Shopping Spree

Some new fashions for the girl. After a day in the shops here is some of the new gear we came home with. I'm thinking that we did pretty good.

Of course any excuse to turn the new flash gear on to get a snap of my girls flash new gear.

Let there be new lights

Oh yeah, just got myself some new lights. The highly acclaimed Einsteins by Mr Paul C Buff.

They arrived on friday and having been playing over the weekend. These lights are a major advance on the old Balcars I've been using for the last 20 years. They do everything I need and more. One of the things that sold me was that they happened to take the same fittings as my Balcar gear. So, my soft boxes, umbrellas, reflectors and grid spots all fit the new lights. Now that's a bargain. Mostly though, they are just really functional good quality lights. Easy to use from scratch, excellent colour stability and an awesome variable power range.

Surveying the vast world

Here is another in the Survey series of images. Does this image capture all there is to know about it's subject? Do I now own the subject of these images? What is the subject?

Destined for greater things than this humble blog.
