Spent the day being driven around downtown Dallas by Gretchen, the marketing director for Chamberlin Roofing and Waterproofing. They’re putting together some shots of buildings they have worked on, and some works in progress. I also spent some time photographing workers on the job sites, who all seemed a little distracted/disgruntled to have a camera pointed at them.

It was an interesting experience, and a first for me.

(Note to self: buy steel-toed shoes before entering construction sites.)



The Water Polo

Last week I photographed the high school water polo team that my friend Stephen (err…Coach Kniatt) coaches. I’ve never photographed water sports before, and getting an action shot with the ball in the frame was trickier than expected.

I discovered that my D1x (the newest addition to the camera bag) has a max shutter speed of 1/16,000th of a second, which I find pretty ridiculous. I shot some stuff at 2.8 in the direct sun simply because I could.
