Update: 2006.07.02

This entry originally had no title. In fact, it still doesn't. I will, however, give some information about the shoot. The photos were taken on the rooftop. All photos were shot with the Nikon D2X with the 10.5/2.8 Nikon DX fish eye lens. The camera was mounted on a Manfrotto tripod flattened to the ground to give the shot its dramatic angle. The D2X was set on intervolometer and wired to a Balcar AQ Pack with a single Iris head with a bare FX60 7" reflector on a boom stand. The light was positioned about ten feet away from me a little above my head. I did several test jumps to ensure that I had everything set up before I really made a jump and it appears that I may have jumped out of the area of illumination but I still achieved the look I sought to give these photographs.

Thinking back, this concept came to me at a rather low point in my life. I broke up with Leanna (temporarily) on the original date of this entry and I was a bit frustrated. I felt as though I had spoken to everyone that I could about my situation and failed to find resolution and clarity in my ordeal through discussion.
