Alexis and Steve's wedding was awesome and they were really fun to work with. Congratulations you two, I know you're going to be very happy together!

I had my second shooter hiding behind them with a quantum set to 1/64th power. A little day for night post processing and I think it looks pretty good! 1/125-f/3.5-ISO800

It was really hot and the sun presented a huge challenge. It was so bright and harsh. I stayed close and relied on fill flash, big time!

The MDA "Night of Spirits" at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, CA PT.2

I posted a couple weeks ago about the MDA Night of spirits event at the world famous Comedy Store in Hollywood, CA. I had no idea how cool this event was... In fact, had I know I would have personally called about thirty friends and demanded they buy a ticket. Here's what you got for $50.00
• Open Bar All Night.
• Food.
• Comedy Show with legit, big time comedians.
• Cool People, mingle with celebrities.

Are you kidding me, and it's a tax write off! Next year those of you who live here in L.A. are going to want to make it a point to get out to this event!

Some of the boys from dancing with the stars!


She's having fun.

Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon 2010

Covering the 2010 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon was a great experience. I got to meet a lot of cool people and help raise some money for a great cause. This year I was shooting unit stills and then getting a posed shot of each of the big sponsors with the on Camera Talent.

What is unit stills you ask? Unit Photographers shoot still images of movie and TV productions which the movies or shows use later for promotional purposes. They might use the big explosion moment or just a good close up of the talent holding a gun. Basically, Unit photographers try not to get in the way. They shoot during the takes, or just after the takes, depending on the scene. That gives the studios some great high resolution still images to then use for posters, billboards, etc...

The second part of my job was to grab a posed shot of each of the sponsors with the on camera talent. When a sponsor raises or gives a large sum of money they get to deliver the check on live on TV. As soon as that segment is finished rolling, we bring the sponsors back on set and take a quick image of them standing with the hosts.

It was a great experience and I am looking forward to next year!

Cameras are shuffling around, jibs are swinging overhead, you have really be aware of your surroundings. No tunnel vision allowed as a unit shooter!


Shotgun Tom Kelly and Tara introduce anther sponsor!


First Bank with a nice donation!


Ms. Seniors USA make a muscle for MDA!


The firemen not only "fill the boot," they and answer phones too!

There I am again. Thanks to my wife for the shots of me!
