So, I bought a an Alien Bees ring flash which inspired me to do a series of portraits/headhsots of people I work with using the flash which then inspired me to start a photoblog about it. I am a horrible writer, so it will mostly be pictures. Just wanted to share in case anyone was bored...

| That was an entertaining read. Perfectly readable just by the photos. It's amazing how cooperative and supportive coworkers can be. One summer I did a series of portraits of people at work, holding an ice cube in their teeth. That was so much fun. |

really nice work, todd!
and damn, now i'm on the fence about that ringflash :( i bought it and liked the results, but hate how cumbersome it mount and un-mount it. it's too big not to have on a tripod, which makes it not very easy to use, especially in a dynamic shoot.
on the other hand, if i was doing nothing but cattle-run headshots, it looks like it would be perfect - just set it up and let them rip on through.
damn. do i keep it or send it back. uhg... |

Skip... cumbersome is a perfect description of it, but it is worth the pain in my opinion. I used it to shoot some football team photos and the shots came out amazing. I just need to make sure I don't go overboard and get burnt out on it!
pixelpig - I do work with some amzing people. Other than my 8 months "work vacation" to Germany i have been here for 11 years, so I have made some deep and long lasting relationships. I recently bought some really cool glasses that have a little mustache hanging of them, not the Groucho Marx kind... I think i may try to do something with those...Skip... cumbersome is a perfect description of it, but it is worth the pain in my opinion.

Thanks Mark!
I took six more at lunch today. Very excited to process those. A couple could turn out very coolâ€Â¦
The best part of the whole process so far is the reaction received from one of the women I shot. She just really loves her picture and it reminded me why I love taking pictures of people so much. Just having the opportunity to capture a small moment in someone’s life it such a cool thingâ€Â¦
