Saved by the Storm

Sunday, August 15, 2010

August 29th, 2010 will mark the Five Year Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall in New Orleans. When I went to New Orleans to work on an editorial shoot in 2008 I was surprised at how the city looked like it had been hit by the storm months ago instead of years ago. This September I am showing photos from my trips to New Orleans at Periscope Cellars’s Gallery. The opening is on September 3rd from 6 to 9PM. Profits from the print sales will go to Habitat for Humanity and Make it Right; charitable organizations which are working to help New Orleans rebuild.

Shae Rocco

Erich Valo and Ceinwyn Valo, we make a good pair.

I have no photos of my own to include with this update; partially because I left my camera at The Grand Tavern, where our wedding after party was held. I can’t blame insobriety for leaving my camera behind, I had only three drinks over the course of the day; one glass of champagne while getting ready, one hit from the flask of our officiant just before the ceremony and one beer at the reception. It was a long day and I had a lot on my mind when we finally left the party. Thankfully my best man, Will Files, brought my camera home safely with him.

The other reason I have no photos of my own is because we hired the wonderfully talented Shae Rocco to cover the day. I did my best to not try and direct her, and I only messed with her gear once.

Film vs. Digital

Digital
Film It might be an unfair comparison seeing as I bothered to focus the film version and not the digital.

I was in Zapopan, Mexico last week working on an HP job. In the evenings we’d walk down to the town’s center, where these street vendors were set up. I love how bright their carts were in the darkness of the church square. (Continued)

They wore Gap and Banana Republic for the photoshoot. I should have asked if they represent the brand even when they represent the company in the courtroom.Gap
