swampy
I've been a busy robot these days, and let the blog slow down. But, I did update Anamorphic (my making-a-comic-book-blog) with some tasty new pictures of my progress.

puddle jumper
After my stint as the website guy, I've jumped right back into the thick of things. Every few days or so there's a neighborhood in the area that completely floods and I get to go check it out.
Last night I went prepared.
I threw on some junky shoes, put my light kit in a backpack, and ran down into the swampy mess.
It was kinda fun (but totally nasty). I went over to this guy's home (which was like a little island), hooked up some lights, and lit that whole street up. And then I ran around in the brown little lake, getting shots of submerged mailboxes.
Every few minutes someone would come driving down the street and then slam on the brakes a few feet shy of "the lake" in the neighborhood. At one point, we all thought some guy was gonna drive across it (which would've been a disaster), and we were all, "Oh man, I hope he doesn't drive across it." But, I could tell that everyone was kinda-secretly thinking, "Drive across it! Drive across it!..That would be awesome!"
It didn't happen, but we shot a nice little late-night pkg anyway, and it gave Marla a reason to wear rubber boots. Good times.

Even though I sit the desk, I have to pitch in and go out and shoot stuff every once and awhile. A hell who am I kidding it's like three times a week. It's usually live shots but a couple of weeks ago a guy that was handcuffed in the back of a squad car somehow got in the front and took off with it. He then ditched the car and then ran into a metro park. I then spent 2 hours lugging camera gear through the park wearing pinstriped slacks a long sleave dress shirt and dress shoes. I was also like 90 degrees with 90% humidity. Ah well, at least I got a little exercise.
