I was invited to the local high school to teach the photography class, portrait studio work. I took my strobes and set them up in the computer room. We did a few types of lighting and then the party started. Scarf, gloves and fake snow each student had a task there was a makeup artists, stylists, lightingman, fanman and even snowman. The snowman (men) went wild and the room was a mess. Hey, all in the name of teaching the art of photography.
I did some clicking for the local emo band Elias. Emo is short for “emotional” and this band has mastered the art of screaming better than any actress fleeing a psychopathic killer in a Quentin Tarintino movie. Go for it guys you rock. Good luck with the 08′ cd. http://www.myspace.com/123elias I had them spread the word that I want to shoot more bands. If you know a band that needs images, let me know.
Casey (left) showed up with a shirt that I was able to match with the graffitti.
My email is ferrellmc[at]comcast.net Shortly after this photo shoot the band cut a CD under a new name: Rescue the Hero. Here is the CD cover. Kara was the model, I came across this house in northern Maryland and stopped and got some shots and tried not to look like a creeper. I went to the metro parking area and paid the cabbie $5 to take a pic of his car, he was happy because he didn’t even have to start the engine and he made 5 bucks.
The brochures for the show at the Corcoran. The most moving pic of Annie’s is the fallen bicycle of a teenage boy just killed by a sniper. Annie actually put him in her car and he died on the way to the hospital. The bottom right pic is Annie’s brother Philip and father. Annie’s two famous shots of which she received awards are of John Lennon taken the day he was shot and the iconic image of Demi Moore for Vanity Fair.
Here is Annie’s shot of Nicole Kidman Cindy Crawford Ansel Adams’ gallery David is a lonely man living on the streets of DC, he told me so. So naturally, I take the high road and tell David that I’ve got a nice blonde girl for him to meet. Remember Cindy, see a few posts ago for Cindy’s picture. I think they would make a nice couple. David is smart, a little shy and best of all sober. Cindy is gentle, caring and very chatty. Now I just have to get David to the other side of town for them to meet. I see a reality TV show in the making.
When shooting around the monument I met Peter Lerman and his friend Cindy. He’s a local Virgina musician that was putting together a video for his latest song “Abraham.” He picked the right place to do the video. At first they tried to scoot out of camera view and I asked them to “stay in the picture, I’d love to get some clicks of you.” If you want to check out the song he’s on Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/peterlerman

This is one lovely shot! And the model did a very good job as well! Is this your picture or did the students make it? I bet it could get a pretty penny in some magazine…
Stunning Ferrell. So is this an HDR image or just a straight shot. You are getting so good at your HDR images it is getting hard to tell!

Hi John,
This is a straight shot with some PS retouching. Have a great day!
Ferrell
This is a nice image.
Thank you so much for your HDR tutorials. Someone from Flickr pointed to your website, and I’m just beginning to explore your blog.
Whoa. Gorgeous. And here’s me, totally in the dark about what HDR even STANDS for. In the meantime, I use real snow and whatever light is available and tweak a bit in Photoshop and voila! It’s not as shiny and amazing, but it IS organic. 🙂
