Photo weekend in DC

this past weekend i headed down to DC for 48 hours to visit some photo friends of mine that i met on flickr, Mike and Scott. besides having a lot of laughs and photo fun (being the true photo geeks that we are,) their friend Mireille was doing a sociology project about photography. mike and i were her specimens. she periodically interviewed mike and i and filmed us roaming around Georgetown while we took pictures. she studied our process, how we interacted with people, what we shot, how we shot it and how we all interacted as a posse of photogs roaming on the street together.
it was interesting being a part of the process. i'll be interested in seeing the finished project.
she also asked us to choose 5 photos that showed our range, style and abilities, which i had a really hard time doing. how do you sum up all of what i do in 5 photos? i did my best!

these were the final five shots i chose.
this is the range they cover...

Adventures In Product Photography

Today I took a field trip into the city to speak with the staff photographer for a major make-up company based here in NYC. I wanted to gain some insight on this job position and see if it was for me. After spending a good hour with Bryan and some of the companies creative team, I was able to get a taste of what the daily grind might look like. All of the people there were great! I really enjoyed the vibe there, but I don't think the corporate world is for me. But I certainly have an appreciation for what those guys do over there to make it all happen. I don't think I will look at a perfume ad the same way again.
I'm going to keep exploring my options.
I think I am most comfortable in a photo studio.
