Sheer Dumb Luck 2: Anna Seniors

These are shots from Anna's senior photo session.  She wanted something more fashion-y looking than traditional and my friend Cal was kind enough to let us borrow his motorcycle for the shoot (and Mike loaned us his Porsche as well).  While shooting in a downtown parking garage, we kept having to pause for people walking off the elevator.  Eventually, on a spur of the moment idea, we decided to incorporate the elevator into the shoot.

Sheer Dumb Luck 1: Soccer Team Poster

You never know how things are going to work until you try. I got asked to create the cover for the 2008 Juneau Douglass High School soccer program this year. I wanted to try to set up a grunty kind of team picture. The general idea was to use a fog machine to create a curtain of fog behind the players. 

Turns out, fog machines don't create "curtains" of fog, they create nebulous blobs of millions of floating particles. Any sort of front lighting would light up each of these fog particles and negate any sort of backlighting I was hoping for.
