I'm in LA for work and shopping and family holiday stuff. Because I've been doing so much photography work lately, I FINALLY decided to ditch the trio of Tungsten's and get real strobes. Pink and green Alien Bees 800's to be exact. With umbrella's and everything! It's going to be interesting working with them and actually doing full lighting - I've spent the last two years doing really spooky noir lighting with hard artsy shadows, and while I love it, some of the people who pay me do not.
Bah!
With the new lights, I'm sure I will be able to achieve that when I want, but so much more as well! I need models to sit and patiently have horribly lit pictures taken of them while I practice with them though. Any volunteers? You can bring a book even.
Although I would never ever stop you from taking of your cloths if ya wanted to!
Yesterday was one of those rare days off for me. I breakfasted in Santa Monica. I shopped for naughty shoes and vintage on Melrose. I drooled over expensive camera stuff at Samy's. I futzed around in antique stores on La Brea. I even stopped at Pink's for dog. I also got the most specialist welcome ever to SG! I got to meet up with Hotties Napalm and Tonij in Hollywood for a cocktail. Woot!
I know! How very LA of me!
Today, back to work as usual as I sat in a coffee shop in SM (heh) editing photos, surfing SG and making the boy a table over squirm in his seat. I guess that will teach him to look at others computer monitors! Tonight, off with the favorite bits of my family to The Galley in Santa Monica, my new favorite steak place. Mmm... Cheesy!
I was invited to an AMA after party, and even bought a boobalicious, cleavage as legal weapons dress, but ended up spending the evening with the family instead. Knitting. And drinking.
I also stumbled across a family member who is a member of SG. Yes, I looked at her favorites. I feel dirty.
So what have YOU been up to?
