San Diego at Night from Seaport Village |
I worked with instructor/photographer and pretty darn good quad-copter pilot Eddie Tapp. I want to be Eddie when I grow up. Go ahead and click his link and look at his work. Eddie’s assignment for me during the week was to concentrate on my backgrounds. So I shot a few goofy pictures of palm trees sticking out of models heads, haha. It actually helped me.
We worked with a great group of
volunteers that quickly made me, an outsider from Arizona, feel very
welcome. Lorenzo, Art, Adale, and
everybody with the school made me feel a part of their group.
The models were terrific and very easy to work with. Clare was a natural model, 16 and going to be a high school junior, which is hard to believe because she acted like a professional and was a very nice young lady. I had a running chat with her during the shoot about life and college. I guess I must have used my teacher voice, ha! She didn’t need much direction, but one I did ask her to pose was what I called a “Betty Grable” which is what I call a pinup pose made famous in World War II. She said, “who’s that?” Yup, she is 16. Anyway, I showed her… then she did this ===à NOT BAD!!!
After the school ended on Friday,
Marni came out and we spent the next few days as photographing tourists. We hit Seaport Village, SeaWorld, Old Town,
and Little Italy before returning to Phoenix.
As typical desert rats, any chance
on the water is welcome and the sea lions didn’t mind.
Until My Next Adventure,
See You On Down The Road!
