Here I am again I'm sitting in the Reno airport waiting. In a few hours I should be heading up to Mammoth for a couple days. It should be great! Just talked to the riders and we already have a some stuff planned to shoot for tonight. I'm super excited to shoot the Peanut Butter Rail Jam tomorrow, people should be throwing down and the set up should be legit. After that there should hopefully be some sunny days in the mammoth park to to get alotta good shots and do a little but of park shredding myself. So anyways... should be a lot of good snow pictures to come within the week, my strobes are away from home for the first time and I am so ready to get some good kicker shots with good lighting.

As for this week I've just mainly been brainstorming that 208 project thing, I got some ideas that are very different from one another and now its the time to decide.

Finally played around with some ring flash stuff this week. The whole ringflash concept really intrigues me and I started to figure out how it all worked this week. I borrowed a DIY ring flash went over to the studio with my stunning model, Stephen, and was pretty happy with how things turned out: (Pretty heavy edit on the second image, not really liking how fake it is)


There are so many things I am wondering about ring flashes after this experience and when I get some time I'll build some different versions to figure stuff out. It's so cool how there are virtually no shadows. What about different shapes other that the ring? like maybe a star shape or something like that and will that shape show up in the eye of the of the person? How would I get the light to distribute evenly in a shape with corners?
