I think you’d be amazed to know that the third Thursday of every month photographers meet at the Irvine Fine Arts Center at 6:30 PM.

Gary and Suzette Amundson had a successful showing at the Tustin Art Walk, displaying their beautiful hand crafted dichroic glass pendants and other glass art. They had a pretty good turnout, with high interest from customers with the hand-cut pieces. Architectural glass was also of interest to many prospective customers.

Well, you won’t see me in the movie, but I’ll be the camera operator, photography director and post-production editor.

I am interested in working with both stills and HD video movies, trying to push the edge and create some beautiful stuff. It takes a cast and crew to make a movie and I’m interested in a small group of script writers, actors, set designers, makeup artists, associate photographers, sound engineers, production assistants, director assistants…anybody regardless of experience level. The main thing is making the product and being serious about doing it.

Please do contact me if you are interested in ANY of the roles mentioned and are willing to put in a little elbow grease to make something special.

This service takes your webpage design in a photoshop file and turns it into a fully functional and standards compliant CSS, xhtml or other.   I am pretty good with photoshop and basic html, but when it comes to CSS I’m out of my league.   This looks like a great solution.

These images are pretty small, but in the coffee table book quite large and detailed plates look just amazing. Each shot is totally theatrical in nature, complex lighting and treatments, just amazing and thought provoking…and a little dark…

Fantastic photography and a well written article. I’ve had a chance to see the book with these plates, and the body of work is so large you could probably go through the book in a month if you put great effort into it, there’s so much to see and think about. Just beautiful, and a bit dark.

I notice that nearly all shots appear to be about the same “time” of day which adds to the spookiness; kind of like being in all places in that town at once.

There is a sadness to most shots that you want to get to the root of, to dig into and understand. Very powerful stuff!
