As that gentleman used to say in tennis: You cannot be serious!

Dear God, the entire ethic of business is the same: transfer the most money from account A to account B, with account B being yours!

When we sold our house to come here, the estate agent said it was worth pounds x; I laughed and told him to market it at pounds x plus twenty percent, which was my estimate of its worth. The house sold in two weeks and at my price, first view from that customer. Agencies are interested in regularity of sales, they have their own constant overheads to meet, they don't have time to hang about waiting for the best prices. Anyone working on low salary and depending on making commission isn't open to worrying about you; he worries about making the figures and meeting his own needs each payday.

It isn't nice but it is obvious.

I do like the photograph; saw the tail end of a commercial the other night which was showing a new Honda sports car... missed most of it before I became aware of what I was watching.

Well gee Rob, if that is your idea of business ethics it's no wonder you are mystified as to why people blame the bankers.
I certainly don't treat my clients that way, perhaps that is why I am not getting rich and the bankers are 


Have a nice day

FYI, I started a new thread over at the Coffer Corner devoted to the issue debated initially by BCooter and Rob (money, etc.), to let this thread return to its roots.

P.S. Rob, I think the car in pictures is a Hyundai, not Honda

You are right, and I also confused myself regardng the sports car commerical I'd half-seen: the car was a Toyota, because I'd imagined I was somehow glimpsing an old commercial for the Toyota Celica. I now believe that de-caffed coffee is more harmful in the evenings than the undoctored variety!

With a couple weeks down I'm actually catching up on post work.  This one's from a recent furniture shoot.  Much more warm and cozy.  Available light, HMI and strobe into silks, small kinos here and there.

Reminds me of the series with the M8 of the ballet school girls. Except I think they were shown in black/white... ?

Nice mood.

Reminds me the ballet too.
Rob, I think the ballet was color, in similar tones.

Nice atmosphere indeed.

Hmmm.......What's going on with the extreme "orange peel" skin?

[Willow Photography]

Thankx Luke. Will do .-)

[Kirk Gittings]

No really-click on it twice to maximum enlargement. What am I seeing as skin there?

Hi Christ in regards to using HMI vs Flash what's the advantage of one over the other. As I know, correct me if wrong, HMI is same WB as Daylight. Here you are using both. ACH

I use K5600's Joker 800's.  They're fairly interchangeable with strobe (yes, daylight balanced).  I use them like big guns.  Where I used to have two Profoto heads banging through a 12x12 Silk, now I use one Joker.  I bought them for film work and have just been integrating them into the stills for the hell of it.  I do still get into situations where I need a shorter exposure on the ambient and then the HMI's become much less powerful than the strobe.  I recently picked up the bits to adapt one of the Joker's into a Source 4 housing and that's really a lot of fun.

One of your best yet, as least as posted here.  Nice.

You shoot a lot of single point perspective. Do you find you gravitate towards it, or are you being asked for that viewpoint?

[ChristopherBarrett]

Heh... dude.  The title of my blog is "One Point Perspective"



Thanks for your kind words, Im rather fond of this shot too.  It was one of our quickest, easiest, ironically enough.

I guess I should read your blog

I was just curious as I find myself doing lots of single point as well.

[Rob C]

Just to comfort a non-archi snapper - what's One Point Perspective?

Is it possible to have more than one point of view (and, thus, persepective) in a single photograph, or is this a reference to stitching in some manner?

Bemused...
