Bob I hope you had as much fun in Chicago as I did. I would like to echo your comments about all involved with RGs workshop. Rolando did a great job presenting a lot of information in a very short time but more importantly for me he expanded my vision of what was possible thank you Rolando.
The models, well the models were all smart. The models all knew how to model and did I mention there were all jawdroppingly gorgeous. Gale has the face of an angel and the body of a well you know. Ashley had that wonderful Mona Lisa smile going on most of the time when she didn't know she was doing it. Natalie was only able to work one day but she worked so hard I thing I have more shots of her then any of the other girls. Kat, Kat is a real uptown girl, strong, powerful lines mixed with soft curves a real fine art photographers dream. Tiffany Karns is Tiffany, she is so in love with life you can't help capturing that when you photograph her. Thank ladies you have all helped me grow as a photographer.
Sally Kempton is a real renaissance women. Make up artist, photographer, assistant, and great background painter. I am going to get ahold of you I need a couple of those backgrounds. Ralph Hasseltine and his whole family gave up there weekend to help out. Then there was Rick the hardest working guy at the workshop and one of those guys that you instantly like and want to hang with.
Then the guys who make it all possible the photographers. I am glad I was able to spend time with all of you and truly wish I was closer to all of you just to talk shop and hash over photography.
OK Ok the photos. You did a nice job of job of shooting at the peak of action, the moment when the model hits her pose. The photos all look a little underexposed to me I think you need to get a meter and a strobe and get that 1D dialed in. I think once you get that camera up to speed your eye is going to let you be a strong photographer.
