Coffee Table Book

I am currently putting a coffee table book together.
The concept: Foliage from hikes and treks.
And for the next one, something very manly, rusted machines perhaps.

Death Valley Part Deux

Sunset at Artist's Palate

New Puppy

Boris Bolshevik

So for the new year, I spent the morning munching at a veggie buffet at local temple.
It was hot and crowded but while I was being jostled around by group of pushy old ladies,
I managed to stand still enough to capture these women serving food.
For a moment, it felt like Vietnam again.
Minus the strong smell of...musk.

The great fun and challenge about this photo shoot was that I did it very little light and that is actually one of my favorite shooting conditions because if you have a stable surface, you have the potential of capturing things that you originally didn't plan on capturing.
But with the Disney concert hall, you are surrounded by so much it actually makes it very difficult to be aware of everything but once I got a feel for the geometry and shapes and lines and surfaces, everything just fell into place and by using the unique surfaces of the concert hall as my tripod, it added a very natural element to the composition of the pictures.
