Have you caught it?

Frank got into his bike a lot this summer. Last summer it was the skateboard. This summer, the bike. We went on a few rides together. Not nearly enough. But the weather’s still nice and the days are still longish. So I see some more bike rides on my horizon.

Frank – Portrait of a Biker

This series is much more in line with what I had envisioned for the Tilted Kilt Girls portraits.
I love the light, both literally and figuratively. The previous Darker Versions are growing on me, but this is the look I was going for going into this shoot.

I’ve been doing some work for The Tilted Kilt here in downtown San Diego. So in addition to shooting a number of scenarios for Ads and Collateral I did some portraits of some of the girls. The lighting turned out a little harsher than what I wanted for this first series, but I really like a how these 4 turned out. We’ll see how the next batch turns out…Thanks to everyone at the Kilt. They’re a great bunch of people to work with!

I’ll let you decide, but this is a seriously formidable bunch…

So here was the plan…but you know how that always goes. I wanted to get a few of my Yashica Portraits of the boys over the weekend. Same style as usual. They know the drill. Over here, chin down, no smile, stop acting goofy…So I shot a few of them before they went off to a party in LA on Saturday afternoon. And then again on Sunday afternoon. I thought I got what I wanted. Always hard to tell for sure with the old YashicaMat. But it felt good.

…but these are a little more in line with what I was going for…before the missing tooth!
