Compacted trash. Here is the problem. I thought that bag was the bag I needed. It was NOT. This was from earlier. The trash gets pushed I of the dumpster and the. Shoved as hard as possible. Older trash is not as destroyed as it’s moved up and falls over. The bag I am looking for is completely smushed and buried in trash. But I had to find it.
Portraits of a make-up artist.

Lighting info
Most of the time I shoot portraits and headshots of ordinary people with no or very little makeup, but this one was a bit diferent. She worked as a makeup artist with her own salon, so she did know a thing or two about how to prepare her face and skin for a photo shoot. Lucky for me.
The lighting I used was a Profoto 5 foot Octa as fill behind the camera and me, and a White Softlight Reflector (beauty dish) above it and a bit closer to her face. A Profoto Compact in a Strip Softbox with softgrids was my hair/rim light on some of the photos.

Developed in Lightroom 3 using the Portrait profile, adjusting the white balance and adding some contrast/sharpness. Nothing more really, her excellent makeup skills did all my retouching work for me.

Story: After I put up the video of my retouching on the Jonnie Walker shot I got a meeting with a company that makes cosmetics. Since I didn't really have any cosmetics in my book I spent some quality time shooting specifically for that meeting. This was actually the shot that I started with. I knew I wanted a shot of a compact and this was basically the most difficult compact to shoot I could find. The entire thing is mirrored.
Lighting: The compact is sitting on a white seamless and there are two lights. There is a bare dynalite 2040 head from camera left providing the hard shadow. Then there is another bare head from camera right pointed to the seamless and that is what is providing the light fall off for the top. If the seamless is one color then the chrome doesn't look chrome so you have to get some light fall off. In addition to the two lights there is also a reflector right in front and a reflector overhead. The camera is just able to get between the two reflectors which is why the compact is small on the sensor in the before shot. I really needed that bit of light on the edge around the actual makeup.
Ich habe des öfteren darüber nachgedacht, warum Hunde ein derart kurzes Leben haben, und bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass dies aus Mitleid mit der menschlichen Rasse geschieht; denn da wir bereits derart leiden, wenn wir einen Hund nach zehn oder zwölf Jahren verlieren, wie groß wäre der Schmerz, wenn sie doppelt so lange lebten?

Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views.
This is from an ad that appeared in the local newspaper at the time.
Working on this, know it doesn't show really a lot of detail and generic. The plan is to develop it out into a full family with a thin to this being the heavy. We will see how it goes. I have all the uppercase sketched out but need to do lowercase which will be hell.
My recently acquired Walther PPK .32 ACP pistol.
Just for the curious, PPK stands for Polizei Pistole Kriminal Modell or Police Pistol Detective Model. It was first issued in 1931 in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) and made to be used for undercover police work. They were also issued to German military police, Luftwaffe and Nazi Party members during WWII. Hitler committed suicide with his PPK. Also famous for being James Bond's sidearm.
Most PPKs in the US were made under license by INTERARMS or Smith & Wesson (which is who made this PPK) due to laws on importing firearms this small.
(Note: This is a PPK and not a PPK/S, which uses a larger frame to hold an extra round of ammo)
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
One of the advantages of being a regular rental customer appears to be that sometimes one gets a rather large compact car.
I don't usually rent compacts, as they are not quite comfortable enough for the seven plus hours driving to and from the diocesan office in Kansas City (around 340 miles return trip).
I'm only going to Carthage and on to Joplin this weekend so I thought a $9 per day compact would suit the bill and be good stewardship too. This is what they gave me :)
