Terminal B McCarran Airport Las Vegas
Jeff and Mike spent early mornings and late evenings in the beautiful Nevada desert with Brian McGlenn from Curran and Connors. We just finished two days of shooting for NV Energy down in Vegas. The images were regional senics for NV Energy’s upcoming annual report. The shoot went great. We found the perfect locations for the needed images and wrapped up the shoot on time. Which brings us to here. Bad weather stomped on airline schedules and pushed our flight back 4 hours. We are now part of the weary and cranky travelers trying to get somewhere. Everyone is so tired that people watching isn’t even fun anymore. The flight can’t get here soon enough.
“The Faces of St. Vincent’s” Photography Exhibit
Published February 11, 2010 My Blog Leave a Comment
These are images of people served by Catholic Community Services of Northern Nevada. The exhibit is to raise awareness of the work that CCSNN does, to put a face on the recipients of those services, and to remind us we are all connected.
Photography. It’s all around us. We’re bombarded by images everywhere. By the sheer volume the medium can seem diluted. Yet photographers today can be accepted as artists, mostly by standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before. Since the beginning, photography as an art form has been derided and dissected, tolerated and admitted, and finally collected and prized.
A camera my father gave me almost thirty years ago, a medium format film camera, created some of these photographs. Other images in this series used a state of the art digital camera. The photographs are in recycled and discarded frames, some from St. Vincent’s Thrift Store. Using the back of these frames encourages the viewer to take a different view of these people, not to look away, to accept their humanity.
The artist’s reception of The Faces of St. Vincent’s, is Thursday, February 25, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. To attend the reception please R.S.V.P. to Sandy Isham at sisham@ccsnn.org
Reno City Hall Art Gallery,
One East First Street
This art will be exhibited from February 15 – March 26.
Animal Artistry Wraps up Safari Club International with a photo shoot
Published February 4, 2010 Location Shoots , My Blog Leave a Comment
Jeff and Mike spent two day shooting big game last week. But instead of rifles they were armed with cameras and lights at Mike Boyce’s Animal Artistry. Animal Artistry is one of the nation’s leading taxidermy facilities handling game from the world wide. The elaborate dioramas are always challenging to light and photograph due to their complexity. Jeff strives to sculpt the light around the animals and enhance the life like details that Boyce has recreated in their poses.
