10:19 amVideo: Car Breakdown
This video is available to watch in 1080p on Youtube.com
This past weekend I put together a quick little video with my friend Grant. This video was shot with my Canon 5D Mark II with my cheap 50mm/1.8 lens. I kept the lens simple because I liked the depth of field. I should have used my 24-70m/2.8 for the inside the car shot, and used more graduated filters, but overall the video quality turned out good. The inside the car shot was a bit more desaturated than I had hoped.
I was the stunt driver for all of the shots, but I still lined up and planned all of the shots. Grant and I came up with this idea a few weeks back when he actually pulled this stunt on me. I figured we should make it into a video, and so this last Saturday I called him up and shot the video in 2 hours near his church.
I have decided to do more video work as well as photography because i have the option, and I have always enjoyed video work. It’s also more fun for my friends to see themselves in a video especially if it gets people to laugh!

6:37 pmUsing Your Resources!
So, what do you do when your client lives 2,300 miles away with a very limited budget?
Duh! Use Skype!
This last week I did a photo shoot for the spring line of Olive Tree Clothing here in Eugene, Oregon while the client was in his office in Little Rock, Arkansas! Skype has a wonderful new(ish) feature that allows screen viewing, and so I allowed him to view my screen and I had my camera remotely tethered to my 15″ MacBook Pro. The client was able to be a part of the photo shoot through voice and was able to see the photos as they were being taken. Pretty simple!
The photo shoot was a success for his Spring Line release 2 days later! Go check out my product shots for Olive Tree Clothing at www.olivetreeclothing.com

Just finished up this project for a client and friend Zack DeLaune in New Orleans. Who says a photographer can’t help another photographer with some branding tools?
