Okay, Halloween has got to be my favorite night to take pics. This year 2008 I actually was requested to shoot two events; one Nikki’s of Venice and two the Townhouse Tavern’s burlessque show. First I went off to Nikki’s and it was PACKED with people in costumes. I took over 500 shots, then narrowed [...]

Olivia Munn dressed up for Halloween. Thought I would share.

I shot my friend Megan Tomczak for a model shoot. I wanted to try and shoot a little bit of fashion, headshots, and some creative lighting. I tried out my recently purchaced hot lights, but found I am going to need to get stobes if I want to do any type of fashion shooting. To [...]

My next door neighbor has access to a basement room within my complex. She said I could use it to shoot if I needed to. So tonight I took my lights down there to see how it would work. Right now I only have ‘hot’ lights and found that if I was going to do [...]

The Introduction to Maya class I am taking over at Gnomon is getting started. For my first project we had to create a room. So I thought to myself the bar Nikki’s is a room, let’s model that.

It took me awhile to get started, but eventually I started to have something.

We had to render it [...]

Took my new camera the Nikon D700 out after work to Hollywood Blvd. Took some pictures with my 17-35mm F 2.8 lens. I really didn’t realize how much my old camera Nikon D70 cropped with the DX lens, and how bad the quality of the image was. I think I really am going to love [...]

Did I mention I love my new camera. Even fell asleep while reading the manual.

My new camera came in today. It is a Nikon D700, and it’s so pretty. Took it out at dusk to take pictures at a high ISO (3200) and the pictures look incredible. I think iam in love – this is an incredible camera.

I headed over to Nikki’s to check out the architecture and measure the tables and chairs for my Maya 3D class. I needed to reference the layout and perspective of the bar, as I am modeling it in 3D space for my first assignment. Sheldon met me over there with a tape measure around 3:30pm [...]

      Welcome to my personal blog, where I usually mention what I have done, events I have been to, stuff I have seen or possibly a thought or two. Its like my personal journal I keep for myself, but if you want to check it out, look at the pictures or watch my videos — feel free. My blog is mostly in a visual form with a little description tagged along with it, as I am not much of a writer.

      Enjoy... though beware your about to enter the world of Steven Larson's Mind!
