Alive is the word of the hour.
There are lots going on in my world right now.. first, and foremost, the unspeakably exciting birth of our son, Frederick Moon Leeds!
Weighing in at 6 pounds 14 ounces, he was born, happy (?) and healthy in the beginning of April and I haven’t stopped smiling yet! He has been the center of our universe (and with more love each day) since, well, the day we found out Molly was pregnant, last July.
Also ALIVE is this blog. No. Really. As I get back in to the grind, I am revisiting a number of previously neglected parts of my life – this blog and my site – both overdue for some TLC which is presently forthcoming…
Ok, I’m back with another note regarding the campaign that I assisted on last week.
Tonight, I’m giving the WordPress iPhone app a trial run. (I think) I can post a picture from my phone, and it gave me an idea that sparked Part 2 of the story which I think you’ll agree has a sort of completed circle vibe to it. ( if that doesn’t make sense, hopefully it will by the time you read the story and if not, hopefully, I will come up with a more sensible analogy for you by then.)
During the four day shoot, I snapped a number of photos on my iphone – in all honesty, I wished I’d had a P & S in my hand, for more control (ie manual settings) however, the job was assisting not shooting, and I was travelling as light as possible.
Anyway, I was flipping through the pictures while on the train today, and one of them is the one below. (that must have been taken while the phone was en route to my pocket)
The orange colored device is called a Vagabond II Portable Power System. This job was my first experience with them. The Vagabond is essentially a battery (cell) with a built in Inverter which provides AC power – outlets – from which you can power a laptop or re-charge a battery, or, in this case, power the lights we were using.
After a long, “stir-crazy” inducing couple of days, my site has finally made the full move to a new host, and I’m excited to introduce a fresh look to what was formerly know as the “News” page – re-named “BLOG” – in the interests of more frequent and more interactive entries I’ve decided to utilize the many features of the WordPress.org blogging platform.
I’m new to this blogging world, and, while I am not certain where it will take me, I am sure there will be something for everybody at the end of the day.
If you have any comments, suggestions or constructive criticism to offer, please feel free to let me know.
In closing, I’d like to publicly thank Grover, Jason and the rest of the gang at s2f.com – you’ve been great hosts and, while I’m sad to say good by to your hosting services, I’m excited for you and wish you continued success with the PhotoShelter movement. Thanks for all that you have done, and continue to do in support of photographers and the photo industry.
I’ll be back this evening with another posting of some of the other things that have kept me busy this week..
August 04, 2008: BROOKLYN, NY:
There is an interview with the twins, along with a couple of my photos, on nitro:licious today..
For the latest on tight pants, LEGO, and Jackson Swinton … check it out here.
* Despite the generous credit, I did not take all of the photos that accompany the interview, if I knew who’d taken the others I would have given them credit here, and requested that nitro:liicious do the same..
