<\/a>Bunny Goes Flying<\/strong> (7\/18\/07) – This is probably my favorite picture of them all. I was sitting in the copilot seat of a friend’s Bonanza flying to LA and noticed my shadow on the wing. There wasn’t any question what had to be done, and I started shooting. Gary never questioned what was going on next to him.\n<\/div>\n\n![\"Bolex](\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1043\/892114705_30e69d4e21_t.jpg\")
<\/a>Bolex Camera<\/strong> (7\/24\/07) – If I shot this today I’d get rid of the bright white blown out floor, but I love the image anyways. The picture is a tribute to my dad and the first movie camera I used as a kid, so there’s personal emotions built into this one. Plus I think it’s just purdy.\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Windmill <\/strong>(9\/21\/07) – This image got panned by a judge in a competition I entered it in because it broke the rule of thirds and is totally symmetrical, which is exactly why I took it and why I love it. I use this as my desktop image on my laptop.\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Tumbling Dice<\/strong> (12\/14\/07) – You might think I got lucky to get boxcars on this roll, but I took hundreds of photos to get this one. Just playin’ the odds. I’m especially proud of this because it didn’t use any fancy equipment. Just a flashlight and the built in flash on my camera. This is one of my most popular pictures on flickr.\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Game Over<\/strong> (3\/25\/08) – Lacrosse is a great game to watch, and a lot of fun to photograph. I learned a lot about action photography at Kevin’s games, but this is my favorite lacrosse picture by a wide margin. I like that one of the players is off to the side, the low sun, the vivid colors, and especially the wide crop. I got a 14″ wide print and matted and framed it for Kevin’s room and it looks great.\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Magic Hour Stairway<\/strong> (4\/10\/08) – Taken in the hour before sunset on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay. I love the color and composition and the amount of detail that came out. I was using a Canon 40D that I rented for a shoot I was doing for a friend – it went on my wish list that day. That was a great time to be roaming around a decommissioned naval base, I felt like I couldn’t shoot fast enough to get all the shots that were possible there.\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Student Team Photos<\/strong> (5\/7\/08) – There’s a lot I like about this (composite) photo. First off, it’s all my students so that makes it awesome right there. Second, all my studying of lighting paid off. This was shot with a single strobe bounced off the wall to give a softer light, and a long exposure to get the powerpoint slides on the screens. Third, to get them and the screen image in the same shot I had to use this really low camera angle (I was lying on the floor) and I needed them to lean into the camera to get their faces from shrinking – this ended up creating a really fun pose that brings out a lot of their personalities.\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Golden Contentment<\/strong> (6\/17\/08) – This one was a tough call. Shane was my favorite subject and I had a lot of images of him to choose from. Laying on the lawn with tennis balls, sticking his head out the car window, puffy hair after a bath… he’s a star. This image was from a really fun day we had on the lake, and it says a lot to me about what a special dog he is.\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Kite’s View of Mt. Tallac Peak<\/strong> (6\/24\/08) – After 14 years of going to Stanford Sierra Camp, I finally did the hike to the top of Tallac. I planned this one months ahead of time and bought a kite aerial photography kit and learned how to use it, all with the hope that the wind would be right up there to get this shot. I felt great about doing the hike, and being able to get the shot was a giant thrill for me. I beamed about this one for days and still brag about it to anyone who will listen.\n<\/div>\n![\"The](\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3083\/2649125646_3403b24640_t.jpg\")
<\/a>The End<\/strong> (7\/7\/08) – If my last photo of the project wasn’t on my top ten list I would feel like I failed. I tried to apply a lot of what I’ve learned to this shot both in technique and in storytelling. And it made the list.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
