I covered the Peterson Brothers Band today as they performed at the Bergstrom International Airport. It was weird being in an airport not worrying about missing a flight or lugging around a suitcase. The band’s performance was kicking off kids week at the airport. Here’s a funny frame I got with a cardboard cutout of Ray Benson creeping down on Alex, the band’s bassist:
Today I shot some okra for an upcoming food story. I think this is the first time I’ve shot food in the studio. Pretty straight forward lighting setup with a speedlight on the left through an umbrella and another speedlight shooting from beneath the table.
Watching a YouTube video of a wedding photographer backpedal into a fountain the other day reminded me of one of my most embarrassing moments. A couple years ago Barack Obama made a surprise visit to the Little 500 bicycle race at Indiana University. At one point I got in front of him in the infield of the track, about 8 feet away from him and backpedaled to get him in the frame with a long 70-200 lens. I didn’t realize there was a chair directly behind me and – yep you guessed it – I went down. Even better: I have a shot of him pointing at the chair (second frame down). I guess I can tell my grandchildren that as a journalist I stood toe to toe with Obama … before falling over a chair in front of him. I recovered and got a couple decent shots out of the day (last two shots).
