Painting With Light OR Don't Litter in Peace Park
This was a fun shoot. Ashley, Jeff, Jon, Dan, and I set up organized chaos on the bridge in Peace Park, totally baffling the occasional passers-by. I think at one point we also confused the heck out of Pinar, who was walking at the other end of the park. She looked over, and probably saw what appeared to be a red and white flashing explosion that kept calling her name.
We didn't use any Photoshop tricks to make this - it was all done in-camera with a long exposure and the clever use of cardboard, strobes, and flashlights.

cool outtakes
Multiple Flash... hanging off a cliff
Nathan Moore, 18, tackles a limestone cliff at Capen Park. The Mizzou freshman has only been climbing for two months, but admits he is hooked. Moore's love of climbing came as no surprise. "As a kid I climbed on everything - trees and stuff. Just everything," he explained. Now, however, he's all about the live rock.
I'm hanging off a cliff! Weeeeeeeee!

I love skaters because skaters love cameras
This was a fantastic shoot... lots of people moving quickly and lots of things to look out for. Most of the time, I had a small mob of people following me, trying to get my attention so I would photograph them. I can honestly say telling people "No" is not an issue I usually face when it comes to taking people's photos... it's usually the other way around!
Kellen Thomas, 19, performs a "grab" on the vert wall at Cosmopolitan Park. "When guys talk about getting air, they'll tell you it was sick or killer or wicked. Pretty much the worse it sounds, the cooler your trick was," he explained.

Gotcha! Color Correction
Ashley Counts, 28, has
worked at Gotcha Costume and Magic Shop for two years. "It does get kind of creepy when you're the only one working," she said. "You feel like the masks are watching you move around the room."
Lucky for me, Gotcha had posters randomly tacked to the ceiling, and most were light in color, so I was able to use bounce flash while moving around the shop, and not get any weird color casts.

The Sun in Your Hand and/or Flash is the Devil
Toby Holmes, 24, is the creator and purveyor of wearable works of art. Her most popular item? Hand-crafted and painted horns that adhere to the wearers' forehead. "Whatever festival I go to, I tell people I'm the horniest artist there," she said with a grin.
Robert "Rook" Chirino plays Wii Bowling as part of a celebration marking his ordination as a Dudist minister. Dudeism is an internationally recognized sect of Buddhism, and takes as its profit the character Dude from the movie "The Big Lebowski." "Religion is just that fairy tale you tell yourself to fall asleep at night," Chirino said. "This one just happens to be the least specific about what it means to be a bad person."
Hmm... this was a challenging and fun assignment, and it was great to catch up with people I began following last semester... and then blind them.

The most frustrating shoot I've ever done...
Thursday, February 18, 2010
Ally Anderson, 20, has made a point of never letting boredom creep into her life. Whether at work for the Mizzou Athletic Department, participating in Phi Mu sorority activities, or just dealing with the bustle of a busy school schedule, she is always on the go. "I never sleep," she said with a laugh.
