Thursday, May 18. 20062006.06.17: Oilers win playoff round 3A couple shots from Whyte Ave. after the game. There are lots of others but I'm sure that none of my visitors would be interested in photos containing tasteless nudity.  There's a whole series of these photos. The male police officer throws bits of his candy wrapper at the guy on the pole to get his attention and other weird stuff. If you want to see the whole series just comment here or e-mail me and I'll send it to you.
 Another dude on a pole. Corner of Whyte and 105 St. where we'd always use to go to visit Starbucks . . . I mean Chapters . . . after our days in high school. I can almost taste the chocolate brownie frappacino just thinking about it.  It took me a good half hour to see the humour in this shot.  Glad to see my tax money contributing to the assurance that we have adequate amounts of organized oppression.  Are those automatic firearms really necessary?  Posting it because Jonathan likes it.

I've delayed publishing this entry until the Derks billboards officially go up. Photos were shot on Monday, March 27th on the studio rooftop and at Red Strap Market. A huge thanks to Kelly Goetz, general manager for Red Strap Market for being so accomodating with our shoot. Fashion styling by Gay and Sterling Derk and Donna Zazulak. Hair and makeup by Shannon from Pure Elements. Bill Minksy dropped by Red Strap for part of the shoot and became the best human soft box that I have ever used.
 All artificial light was provided by a Balcar AQ Pack and one or two Iris heads. Mona and Etienne modeling white linen suits aimed at the destination wedding market. Photo was shot on top of an HVAC unit on top of the studio. A big thanks to my dad for seeing us messing around on the roof and not giving me hell until after the shoot. 12" faceted reflector with barn doors used to selectively fill.  One of my favourites of the photos shot at red strap. I can't remember the exact details but I believe that Jonathan placed the models and I set up the one fill light (Plume Wafer 140 with 50degree Soft Egg Crate) and I was holding the camera when it took this shot. Artificial light is coming from the right at about 1.3stops below the key light which is direct sunlight being diffused through the frosted windows. Models from left: Kelly (not to be confused with Kelly of Red Strap Market), Shawn, Etienne, Mona.  All artificially lit in the cargo elevator in Red Strap Market. The AQ Pack is symmetric so Jonathan positioned one head to bounce fill from the front left corner of the elevator. I used a head boomed above Mona and Kelly as a key light. There's a lot of shadow detail. If you're on a PC and have Photoshop or a colourspace-aware program and your display is profiled, view this image in there to see the detail in the walls and floor.  Pattison's billboard template with a billboard design by Mandy Bilous. I sense that she had her hands tied with parts of the design here but I'm told that the lighter colours make the sign more attention-grabbing. Look for a few over a dozen of these around Edmonton.

He asks for money for transportation to meet his son/wife/close relative and he's usually about $40 short. He'll take whatever money that you have on you and even if you say you have no money he'll even suggest that you go to a bank machine to withdraw some for him. My previous encounter with him was documented in this blog entry. Looks like I did give him a bit of money. Thanks to Jonathan for pointing out the obvious to me. See his "anonymous" comment on the aforementioned entry.  Scam artist working a prospective client.  The next time you try to scam me I'm posting your headshot that I shot from across the street with the D2X and 70-200/2.8 VR. No charge! Not that I expect you to see this entry. Continue reading "2006.05.05: Actor or Conman?" 2006.03.30 Improvaganza 2006 Promo . . . or somethingWell frick, if Crad's posting some of these photos on his blog I'm going to post too.  Just one of a series of photos of some of our favourite Rapid Fire Theatre superheros: Belinda, Mark Meer, and Crad.
 Lots of hilarious photos from Belinda's mini shoot . . . the facial expression on this one stood out.  I swear this isn't Bruce Campbell in a Bizarro Superman costume.  Batman, finding it side-splitting funny that his Batmobile was replaced with a Honda Civic hatchback. Continue reading "2006.03.30 Improvaganza 2006 Promo . . . or something" Wednesday, May 3. 20062006.04.30: New haircut, new photos, new photographerHi, Leanna. Sorry for being so bitchy during most of this shoot. Please forgive me. I like the photos that you shot and find them . . . amusing. Thank you. - K  I rarely pose for a photo . . . this shoot is a rare opportunity to get a good look at the person usually behind the photos on this site. All photos in this entry shot by Leanna with the D2X and 70-200/2.8 VR on a monopod.  I have no modeling aspirations but my curiousity about what it's like to be on the other side of the lens with a human operating the camera became too much to bear so I had to try it out.  Our little shoot seemed to have attracted the attention of pot-toting self-proclaimed street kids. They all wanted their photo taken by our "hot photographer".

Card design by Jeff Kulak  Back of the same card. The cards are full bleed and provided as postscript files. They look much cooler than this but I did a lousy job rasterizing the files and saving them for web so you'll just have to take my word for it . . . or visit the grad show.  Same number of cards printed as for the BDes/BFA silent auction postcard so I'm reusing this calculator result. 2006.04.22: Fun at F/1.4 D2X, ISO 800, Sigma 30/1.4 @ 1.4, handheld 1/8th. Raw conversion in PhaseOne Capture One Pro.  The City of Edmonton prohibits art on this wall . . . but commercially-sponsored grafitti on the adjacent wall is okay.
