Quick night shoot in SoCal

Wow! it's been awhile since I posted anything. Being away from home for a month seriously takes its toll. My lovely wife had her surgery and we were out in California for a month.

I may not of been posting much however I did shoot every chance I got while I was out there. I'll be posting those photos shortly.



Here is our friends Chad and Kym. We hung out with them on afternoon and they told us about this place they go and sit and watch the sun set.



I quickly grabbed my camera bag and away we went. I set up the flash in a softbox on a light stand. The wind was blowing pretty good on top of the hill so I had to have Athena hold it while I shot them. Then Chad or Kym swapped as Athena got a pic with each of them.

Fishing around with B.D. Morrow



I'm not a good fisherman at all. Let me get that out in the open. The last time I went fishing was over twenty years ago and it turned into a really bad experience.



My dad was taking us twin boys up to the lake to spend the day together. I don't remember all the details but I do know that my twin brother Mike & I managed to turn the fishing pole we were sharing into a giant birds nest. Really just the line the rod was fine but we had twenty feet of line in a huge mess. Don't ask!

Needless to say dad wasn't to happy with us and we ended up calling it a day and going home. It's still is sore spot for dad that we never went back out.



Well, I may not be able to throw a rod & reel but I can definitely hook some light. My friend Brian builds his own bamboo fly fishing rods. He actually has quite the setup in his basement. He trained under one of the best in America & has some amazing bamboo rods with all this intricate detail.



Brian needed some product shots for his website so I went over and fished around some lights. We shot some product shoots and then I wanted some action shots of him actually making these works of art.



If you are into fly fishing or not, check out Brian's website for his story and see how much of and artist and a craftsman this guy really is.
