Carla just moved to Virginia from Hawaii and a friend, Becky Bump, sent her to the studio. She saw the tail and thought she would make a good mermaid. She said "I'm a fish in water and I can do that!" She was pretty emphatic and she was right.
A behind-the-scenes and wider view of yesterday's image setup. A 6-pound portable Profoto Acute single head with PocketWizard radio provided light we needed outdoors; used ambient light indoors.
Using an old boat as a prop; in a courtyard formed by three wings of the warehouse.
We shot in a Norfolk warehouse dating back to pre-Civil War last week. We were at one end while the demolition crews and heavy equipment were at the other end.
Lots of grafitti; some from a rap video production done there.
I took a 17x25 inch-sized file of my Urban Cowgirl image to the Look3 event in Charlottesville, VA, this past Thursday-Saturday. Canon was a sponsor and had a booth there and CPS Rep Barbara Ellison and her sidekick Felix showed me the settings they use for Satin paper on the iPF5000. The print was stunning. My iPF5000 seems to be missing some software, but now I know what the printer can do.
It's summer in Virginia Beach and the plastic palm tree returned with the kid's rides at the 17th Street Fishing Pier (see October 16, 2006's Blog entry).
It just isn't the same this year.
