learning to ride

With minimal scuffed knuckles, frostbite, and only a few frustrated tears, Kora is up on her bike. Crazy… She learned how to balance on Sunday, and we added the pedaling on Tuesday.

creek house

Spent a couple hours out at the Creek House with Brockit’s good friend, Segno Marketing, shooting new promotional content. All shots are natural light. Very peaceful place; by far the loudest sound was the D3′s shutter release. Had to take it out of 11fps ‘machine gun’ mode and shoot single, discrete shots. Fun stuff; thanks Karyn!

pavement enterprise

A quick shoot of Michigan Tech’s Pavement Enterprise group led by George Dewey. More wide-angle work, which I notice more distortion with on the D3 as it has a full frame FX (23.9mm x 36mm) sensor since I’m using so much more of the glass. Interesting… Nice work, group. George, looking forward to doing some aerial project shots when you return from Florida.

thaw

Spring might be here. The rest of the ice fell off the porch a few hours after this shot, and I thought I saw a couple flowers peeking out of the snow on Michigan Tech’s campus. Excellent.

fashion show

As a favor to my favorite fabric designer / instructor Phyllis at Finlandia, I quickly shot the runway for the student fashion show. As always, beautiful and edgy designs. Sorry I couldn’t make it look more glam; but I think you all walk a little too quickly down the runway! Shot with natural light; moderate ISO, and the 17-25mm 2.8 lens. Students / models, check the client area of brockit.com for your photos. (Finlandia gallery)

finlandia university

Finished a project for Finlandia’s new ViewBook, being put together by the very talented Casey. Shooting faculty and students in action, and working the artistic angle for Casey to capitalize on. Natural light, and insanely high ISO for the projector shot below.
