Definitely watch for more, but as you already know, it might take a few months weeks before I post them. 

She wanted a range of different shots from sexy to fun to serious and as you can see from the shoots she did an amazing job. As always I wish we had more time to shoot, but the window for shooting outside in February is pretty narrow.

For those of you not familiar Northern California, February in the shade is chilly to say the least but she was a great sport about it and was always ready for the next shot. However we did break out laughing a few time watching her wave her arms around in an attempt to stay warm and avoided get goose-bumps. 

We also had a great MUA, Kriis (MM 595862), who did an amazing job with Sonia’s hair and makeup.

Enough from from me… here are some of the shots:

Here are some of the shots I recently posted on my photography site, Euvoyance.com:

I know, I know, everyone loves New York

Nearly every time I’ve gone to NYC I was usually stuck in Midtown the entire time, but last week I had a chance to work from the Google office in NYC and I have to admit it’s the first time that I actually enjoyed being in the Big Apple.

Chelsea, Soho, et al. are worlds away from Midtown both in terms of stuff to-do and people’s attitudes.

Thanks to help from a few friends, I was directed to some great restaurants, hang out places, and theatres and that made all the difference (map).

My view of NYC has definitely changed and I can’t want until my next trip.

Google Office

Hopefully I’ll have more time on my next visit to take some shots of the city and night life.

Free time has been hard to come by lately and when I get a chance I try to go out and shoot, but that only creates another time consuming task.

All the pictures I shoot are in the RAW format and while they produce the best results they also take the longest to convert and clean… I still have source files that are nearly a year old that I haven’t looked at yet.

That being said, I’m going to start working my way through them and posting them as I go.

Boston in the Fall

One of the things I noticed while going through these were the similarities between Boston and London. It makes sense that Boston would be fashioned in London’s image but I never really thought about it much.

Here are some of shots I took last Fall:

A couple of months ago I was in Israel for work and even though I was in the Google Haifa office the majority of the time, I did get a chance to check out Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and some misc places in between.

Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to post most of the photos, but I thought I’d throw up a few of the ones I did have ready.

Old Jaffa’s Wishing Bridge

Old Jaffa is a 4,000+ year old port city that is absolutely beautiful. It’s right on the Mediterranean coast just south of Tel Aviv.

Here’s what the sign reads next to wishing bridge:

An ancient legend holds that anyone boarding the bridge, holds its zodiac sign and looks at the sea — their wish will come true.

We did a whole range of styles from Pink Wigs to Spanish Dress. As usual, here are some of the pictures from my other site Euvoyance Photography:

Special thanks to Rachelle Dalton (MM 502212) for her Make-Up Artistry

The early setting Winter sun cut our shoot a little short, but the photos look fantastic and Anamika was amazing. Here are some of the pictures I’ve added to my other site Euvoyance Photography:

– Update –

Congrats to Katya, here’s a video and article of one of her photo shoots: Behind the Scenes at the SFIS Cover Shoot

A year from now, capturing a crisp, clear image of a candlelit birthday party could be a piece of cake — even with a camera phone.

Eastman Kodak Co. said Thursday it has developed a color-filter technology that at least doubles the sensitivity to light of the image sensor in every digital camera, enabling shutterbugs to take better pictures in poor light…

…Kodak expects to provide samples of its new technology to a variety of camera manufacturers in the first quarter of 2008. The technology is likely to be incorporated first in mass-market point-and-shoot cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones beginning sometime next year. — cnn.com

After living in Rochester for years watching the decline of Kodak it great to hear news of Kodak jumping ahead of the technology curve.
