As I was leaving the Flagler Museum from todays setup, I glanced over my shoulder on the way to the car, and well, out came the tripod. I seem to take regular detours when it comes to photography. I wander towards the light with eyes glazed over, like a bug to a bug zapper.
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE LINK BELOW TO THE BLOG AS I HAVE POSTED A FEW IMAGES FROM THIS EVENT....AND AS ALWAYS, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
Its been a little while since I did a post from a show, so, here we go! After just working on 2 successful events this weekend, I guess I'm in the mood. In continuation to last nights post, I am gonna show a few images from an event we did at the Breakers in April. The NACDS (International Chain Drug Store) event is actually a week long convention that annually brings a lot to the local economy. According to their website, The NACDS Annual Meeting is their industry’s most influential, strategically oriented event. More than 2,000 business leaders including Chairmen, CEOs, Presidents, and Senior Vice Presidents from drug, food, mass, and specialty retailing companies and their supplier counterparts will gather in Palm Beach to share their vision, discuss strategic issues, and explore future opportunities for success. Our involvement varies from year to year. In years past, we have worked on events for Revlon and Gillette, but this year, as we have for about 20 years, we were happy to be working with L'oreal Paris again. Michael Ereshena has always found a creative way to tie in the "French" theme. In years past, regions such as the Riviera, The Loire Valley, and Normandy have inspired his designs, but for this year, French Films became the basis for the decor.

I just love to watch how the sun and clouds position themselves in this delicate dance we call a sunset. Just a couple of nights ago, as the sun was disappearing below the horizon, its warmth was reflected and bounced all over the sky in a somewhat random haphazard way. The thick canopy of storm clouds up camera right seemed to be happy to throw back all the lumens they could, reflecting a warm and soothing but yet eerie orange glow. Like I have said before, its a hit or miss light show here quite often, but this night was definitely a winner!
I think its time for a few random images this week from the processed file, or in this case, over processed. I gotta say, if I ever saw a sky look like this, I think I would be running for shelter!
This is one of those images that you have to ask yourself.....is it photography, is it art, or is it just a piece of garbage. Either way, it was a great place to be that evening....and this is what I felt.
Have a great week!
I really did want to stay away from HDR's for a week, but this show needed all the help it could get. This is several layers of images taken last night from the bridge here in Palm Beach. It ended up being a great night after all!
Have a great weekend everyone!

What Good Are Trees (J.H. Watkins)
What good are trees,
If I miss the heart that spun the seed,
That dreamed the dream,
That danced nuclear in first fiery moments,
Before colors collided on patterns woven in atomic autumns
And stardust stellar stadiums of wintry dawns-
When moons rose only on waters that stilled the night,
That reflected the light that ended eras,
That moved the mountains,
Before the oceans swept canyons clean of crust
And prepared tables for grasses to grow?
What good are wings,
If wonder does not take flight,
Where wild woods bear the broken breath of winds,
That hang soft in southern summers,
Where soaring birds draft
Towering tides of unseen waves
Riding currents, swirling in springs of hope,
Hidden in hills, that no one knows?
What good is hope
That shares nothing in conception,
And wonders without warm witness in cold stolen hours,
Longing in lonely moments, that come only once,
Heave hot and holy breath for seconds,
Then pass without planting or gathering
From the soil of life and the strength of tears
That know the awe of this moment’s birth?

FOR THOSE INTERESTED I HAVE AN EXHIBITION AT THIS LINK www.flickr.com/groups/inspiringcollection/discuss/7215762...
Indeed, the time-lapse upload is a bit dark, but only on youtube. Still trying to figure out why. The still was one of the ones taken while the time-lapse camera was "doin its thing". Coulda been longer actually. Next time, maybe I'll place the camera and hire a security guard for the day. (Ok, this is getting outta control!)
Oh, one more thing.....actually 2....
If you look close, you can see me running about capturing the evening with the other camera. Not sure if thats earth shattering info, but its kinda funny to me! Secondly, I have a camera at this moment in the ceiling at the event I am on capturing the turnover of the room from general session to the party that is going on now, and with any luck, the tear-down. Should be kinda cool........ unless of course it's totally lame!

As I continue my week of "no HDR images, I have been wondering what to post. I haven't shot anything since returning from my last trip. The weather hasn't been that good (guess it followed me home). I am using this down time to really try to get caught up on a few things I have put on the back burner. Sometimes you can only put off some things for so long! Looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel and my new journey in life.
Anyway, in my search for images, I came across a few raw files I shot last summer. At this point, I was just starting to get back interested in photography! I processed this in camera raw tonight and did a little painting with light in it. It might be a bit dark, but I kinda like it. I tend to kind of light stage scenes a little dark as well. I guess thats ok (unless your the actors parents!)
Have a Happy and safe 4th. Look forward to all my flickr friend's fireworks shots!
More on all of this later. :)
