Genny - ok, here's my guess. but please don't laugh… I think you had one light above, flashing down on half the chair and the other light aimed at the subject from the right side of the photo, with the reflector on the left side of the photo filling some of the shadows on that side. It's a really cool shot, however you did it.

Trav - Awesome guess – you almost hit the nail on the head! One above, and one actually on camera but pointed directly right, bouncing off a reflector, to give a nice fill. And thanks Genny!

Trav - Hey, thanks Holly! It took a bit to tweak things just right, but I really like how it came out, too ;)

Creatively Crazy

It was 2am, and as the only car driving up the winding canyon road, it was a lonely endeavor. The moon had gone to bed below the mountains in the west, and the inky night seemed to close in on me as I drove further into the mountains. Turn after turn my headlights briefly splashed...

Genny - oooh I like that video. Are the shooting star type things planes?

April 11, 2010 - 7:18 pm

Trav - Indeed, they are planes cutting the night sky! I wish I posted the vid a little bigger; I think I’ll go ahead and re-insert it large-style so it’s more clear…

And Diane, thanks for the neat link – maybe we will ;)

Hey internet. Travis here, and it’s confession time: I’m kind of a junk junkie. No, I’m not talking about junk food, I’m talking about pure, unadulterated junk. Stuff that belongs in…well, belongs nowhere, because it’s no good anymore. Case in point – in our garage, I have an old gutted shell of a TV from...

Holly Canfield - oh! great oldie but goodie camera! i like junk…i'm a sucker for old farm junk and vintage food packaging.

March 23, 2010 - 3:40 pm

Travis Ramos - Yes!! Farm junk is the best! haha…and I also like old food packaging and the like – let's see, I have an old Maxwell Coffee can from the ~60s, a Rawleigh's Furniture Polish tin ca 1950s, and an old tin can of Neatslene shoe grease, all found in abandoned houses. Hah!

March 23, 2010 - 4:45 pm

Dianne - Just a quick shout out from Oklahoma.
Oh my,you are your Mothers son! Lol
I thought only Deb was a junk junkie. Funny thing is she like you gets so excited when she finds things. Haha
Awesome find on that camera and I love following you and Laura on the blog !!!!!

March 23, 2010 - 7:18 pm

Ashley - Oh this post is amazing. Love the beginning commentary. You didn't lose me AT ALL. I couldn't wait to see what you found. That camera is gorgeous. Love it!! Hmmm..when you said "we will probably shoot a crazy photo of you with it sometime soon" I know you were directly talking to me! ;) haha Awesome find and Laura is adorable..but you knew that!

John Allison - WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Travis, I miss you so much, dude. I laughed for so long when I read this post… well, mostly when I saw the Voitlander-stache. Ha ha ha! Oh man… We gotta have some quality time soon.

March 24, 2010 - 9:08 am

Travis - Diane, you got that right…hah! One of my favorite things to do is go explore old abandoned houses – which Mom and I used to always do growing up.

Ash – thank you!! :))
