cornfu > day 108: "the hills have eyes—south jersey". we drove to canton, nj to visit my brother and he took us on a quick tour down an isolated marsh-surrounded road. i loved the area as there are no wires or telephone polls. just a nuke cooling tower in the background... and a strange shack in the middle of the marsh... and NO cell reception... and, uh, it was kinda freaky actually. i hopped out of the van and ran half way up the planked entrance to take this shot ignoring the "no trespassing" sign and the full-on assault of green head flies. in mid-shot my brother beeped the horn and drove away leaving me. funny guy. he drove back. i may be heading back here to sneak closer next time. curiosity has me cranked to check out the shack.
cornfu > day 163 - taken after a massive downpour. the sky was cool looking so we rushed a quick setup. bounced a flash off of a white board at a slight angle upward.
cornfu > day 345: "full moon". with the new wolfman movie coming out and there actually being a full moon tonight i couldn't resist doing a wolfman shot. just started messing with brush settings and attempting fake hair/fur. i have a long way to go before it is realistic but i had fun none the less.
cornfu > day 170: "88's". a shot of my wife's upright piano. the ivory keys have seen better days. my wife plays piano in our church on sunday and she is quite good! now if i could just get her to play some harry connick, jr.
cornfu > day 209: "help me! help me! help me!". there is a nasty spider that has taken up real estate outside of our back kitchen window. i figured a cool shot would be a slight knock off of the movie "the fly". i cut out a little paper man (easier to identify thank a little paper fly-man like in the movie) and popped him into the web. the spider shot down and started to kick out paper man. it was pure creepiness to watch. i had to repeat this several times to get the shot i wanted. finally the spider gave up and shot back up the web. i went ghetto with the lighting with a cheap home depot light hung out of my back kitchen window to light the spider so my macro could actually focus. then i shot a flash through an umbrella at half power at 35mm. i had a lot of fun doing this one but now i swear i feel spiders skittering across me.
cornfu > day 317: i attempted to get equal exposure on the background and subject by setting exposure for the sky and hitting the subject with an off camera flash. unfortunately, i was late taking the photo and didn't have the right available light. so i went in a totally different direction. for the look of this shot i was inspired by foofighter's song "everlong" due to hearing it quite often thanks my kids playing guitar hero! the look of the video is great and has a few sequences that are a bit harsh in contrast/saturation. the video was based on the movie "evil dead 2".
cornfu > day 192: "vacation". day one at Ocean City, New Jersey for our summer vacation! i will try to post some shots every day but am dependent on snaking off some spotty wifi. the connection comes and goes. pictured here is a sweet sand castle we spotted on a walk up the beach this evening.
cornfu > day 146: "signs signs". it is easy to glaze over on my monotonous drive home. i am snapped to awareness with the familiar smells of dupont chamber works (imagine burnt monkey fur and rubber), awesome, thought-out signage and the sounds of cypress hill blaring from a passing mudder... "jump around, jump around". yep, i am home.
cornfu > day 47: today's photo is of a sculpture i did and of some blanks i made from a mold. the original was sculpted with super sculpey. the one in the front i painted with some basic acrylic. i have a halogen light backlighting it and i used a standard flashlight from the front. the wife saw this shot and said it "looks like they just got busted". i suppose so.
