This shot was from a an older shoot that i finally decided to post, i figured it would be a nice break in the Morgan set, but im still posting them! There isnt really a story behind this shot. Tiffany and her three friends drove all the way from the far lands of the ocean to have a shoot with me. It was filled with good times, and delicious alberto's afterwards. I was assisted by my good friend Kevin, ill link his work. You should really check him out, he's very talented! :D. Its the morning, and i just woke up. So ill stop writing now.

One of my favorite Flickr contacts is Dustin Diaz. I love his work. He's doing this awesome 365 project complete with lighting setup shots. Very cool of him, and very inspiring. I've learned a ton just looking at his work. Hope to meet him and shoot some day. Anyway, I needed some inspiration, so this is my attempt at a Dustin-Diaz-style shot. Thanks for sharing Dustin.
P.S. Even with all the inspiration, I forgot to shoot one of Dustin's setup shots. Doh!
Lighting and Setup Info: First, the glass is setting on a 3'x3' sheet of black acrylic. Gotta love that stuff. Makes for great reflections. Second, I created a makeshift 3-sided box around the glass out of three white cards (2'x3' foam boards bought at Hobby Lobby). One card to the right, one to the left, and one above the glass. The reflection of the white cards created the highlights on the the stem of the glass. Gotta love Hobby Lobby, specular highlights, and cheap white cards (roughly in that order). I placed the acrylic sheet on a ceder chest I bought for $100 at an auction 20-some odd years ago. You needed to know that. Third, I placed a bunch of Christmas "Icicles" (things you hang on a Christmas tree) in the background for that colorful bokeh effect. I bought those a WalMart after Christmas. Gotta love Christmas and WalMart (definitely in that order). Finally, I shot a SB-26 (small Nikon strobe) into the "Icicles", and I placed a Canon flash on the ground behind the glass aimed up into the white box to light glass. Both of the strobes where triggered using a Skyport transmitter/receivers.
This one made it to the Explore page (up to #11 so far ;-).
Where the good stuff's kept - at Burrowing Owl Winery in Osoyoos, BC.

On the beach at night alone,
As the old mother sways her to and fro singing her husky song,
As I watch the bright stars shining, I think a thought of the clef of the universes and of the future.
A vast similitude interlocks all,
All spheres, grown, ungrown, small, large, suns, moons, planets,
All distances of place however wide,
All distances of time, all inanimate forms,
All souls, all living bodies though they be ever so different, or in different worlds,
All gaseous, watery, vegetable, mineral processes, the fishes, the brutes,
All nations, colors, barbarisms, civilizations, languages,
All identities that have existed or may exist on this globe, or any globe,
All lives and deaths, all of the past, present, future,
This vast similitude spans them, and always has spann’d,
And shall forever span them and compactly hold and enclose them.
On the Beach at Night Alone by Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)
