I thought it would be sweet to bring these celluloid boy and rubber sheep together, for a photo-op.

Hello Space Boy
Hello-SpaceBoy is another image from my vintage toys series. I love old toys and I am very lucky to have my friend Dannah sending me items I like from her vintage toy collection to have fun with; in the studio. I had this project on my mind for a while and I’m happy I finally got to it.
These toys surely brought a lot of happiness to kids, many moments of discovery and joy through the use of imagination, Just as it does for me.

Happy Independence Day 2011
Last night (July 4, 2011), I joined a friend to a fireworks scouting flight over the Los Angeles area. Shooting fireworks from a Cessna Skylane 182 reminded me how important it is to be able to use a tripod for certain subjects. Here are some of the images, shot at about 3,000 feet above sea level, where a tripod is redundant because of the 3D movement of the plane.
I was introduced to this movie a couple of years after it came out. I have not since watched a movie that was so beautiful and fascinating as Microcosmos.
This movie not only brings you really close to nature, but it is lit and shot so beautifully that I’m still glued to the screen every time I watch it. if you love nature and photography, especially macro photography, and you missed this one somehow, do yourself a favor, get this disk and watch it, this is the real “A bug’s life“.
It’s a French film and though there’s not much dialog in it, an English soundtrack is available from the menu.

Roadside survivors
A while back I’ve found these old shoe forms near a closed down old shoemaker’s store. they waited for me in a little pile of stuff that was going to the trash. I had to take it to the studio and play with it. I decided to make two similar compositions that will have a different feel to them. here’s what I came up with.
Single light photography.
My most valuable learning experience was working as a photographer’s assistant back in the late 80’s, while starting my professional photography career.
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned was using a single light source to set up an atmosphere.
In nature we have only a single main light source (sun), the human brain is completely happy and can easily make sense of a scene that has a single light direction. practicing this method in the studio helped me advance and master this technique in the studio as well as out on location.
In this shot, You can see Tiffany dancing in front of a single light, In this case it is a window.
