It’s been a LONG TIME since I had an opportunity to simply walk through downtown Kansas City and I had a wonderful time checking out some of the new projects and really enjoyed seeing how the city is becoming such an incredible place. Thanks to Alex Grigsby for his company.

Another fantastic shoot for the quite simply wonderful Andrea Darr and Kansas City Homes & Gardens. This time we got to photograph an incredible basement with all sorts of wonderful features; hidden doors, revolving drinks cabinets, a home theatre, a wonderful kids work room, a retractable flat-screen and a killer games room.

Angela and I got together working on a new idea for some promotional images and we grabbed two of her beautiful Betta fish. If you’ve seen our fish collection you know you’ll be seeing some more of these images in the near future…

I got a chance to see the mighty KC Roller Warriors in action last week and they rocked! It was tremendous fun and it really is an event well worth watching. I went along to the first bout of the season and the newly christened national champions lived up the billing.
The next bout will be on the 26th April at Hale Arena.

This is one of the stranger shoots I’ve been on ; I got to spend a whole day tagging along with a team of Auctioneers from Williams & Williams and it was quite the experience. I was able to see several houses on the East side of Kansas City that I don’t expect to see again in the near future and witness them being sold for as little as $1,000.00 then we went out to Bates City (it’s that part of Kansas City just before we reach St Louis…) and saw a huge family house being picked up for a great price. I would definitely recommend checking out the auctions to see if you can find investment properties or even a new home and the team from Williams were superb to hang out with.

I just finished up a fantastic food shoot for the folk at Chain Leader Magazine of Houlihan’s spring menu. There’s some fabulous new items on the menu and we had a great experience working with their executive chefs in their corporate kitchen. The toughest part on the shoot was that we had to set the backdrop and capture the food in about 200 square feet!

Okay, so with the fancy new camera I picked up the Canon WFT-E2A; which is a fancy wireless file transmitter that enables you to interact with your computer as if you were tethered with a cable. You can do all the fancy Live View, remote shooting gymnastics and the files come straight into the editing software.
Sounds cool hey! But in practice the software or the connection just simply won’t work for these file sizes or the speed of shooting. My experience was that when I filled the buffer up it would crash the EOS Utility software on the laptop and force you into rebooting the computer and with a 22MB body and a forty second download time per image that buffer is pretty easy to fill even when shooting architecture. So it went back to the maker…

Without a doubt this is one of the most outstanding exhibits I’ve ever seen. It was absolutely beautiful. I’ve still got to do the final edit on this, but I had to get it on the site. It is simply outstanding.
Oh yeah, and they’re really nice folk too!

I got a chance to work on another great interior by Bill Poole at Driftworks. This one is in the new condo building designed by El Dorado architects on third and Delaware - it’s an incredible building and it was published in Dwell last year. Chadwick had us shoot a wonderful series of images to capture the furniture (from Retro Inferno) and the beautiful layout of the interior.

Yep; it finally happened. I swapped in for a new body. Unfortunately I still have my love handles - but I also now have a brand new shapely Canon 1Ds Mark III, or bloody big camera. It’s been four years in development and it was definitely worth it. Beyond the megapixels it’s got more color, more dynamic range, a better interface with the computer, more customization, a better processor and it’s lighter! It’s been making some very pretty shots and it’s definitely time I got it. The photo is of the new body with the old body in the background - not much difference in that view except the fancy numbering…but trust me it’s better.
The only complaint I have is that it’s a little slow on the buffer - probably because it’s trying to stuff 22MB of data into the card at five frames a second…but it’s still a complaint!
The best review I know of it is by Bryan Carnathan. He does wonderful Canon equipment reviews. The Canon site is here.
The best part of buying the new body was actually buying it locally and not going through the usual internet vendor. Photographx did a wonderful job of getting the product in while there was a national shortage and it reminded me of how much fun it is to purchase products at a store!
