Hollywood Night Shoot

I recently shot some images in Hollywood at night.  I am happy with the results but the location was a bit lacking.  I need to discover a new spot to capture the city at night.  This one just wasn't dramatic enough.  Here are some samples.  For those of you, my readers, let me know what you are thinking of these.

Get busy Living or Get Busy Dying...

I recently heard this quote from somewhere. I don't remember where I heard it, but it really resonated with me. Many of you who know me realize I have been struggling with quite a few personal issues in the past six months. I have been what seems like a "Funk" for a long time. Since I heard this quote again, I have been thinking... Maybe there is something to it. So Now, I have made some decisions.

1. Its time to get busy Living...

Yep! Its time to do something constructive. The Motion Picture world has been very slow for me. So, I have decided I need an Artistic outlet. So, I am going to start shooting Photographs again. I have been absent too long from this pursuit. Its time to get out there and DO not talk about it.

2. Its time to re-devote myself to my family again...

Its been a long road of personal issues recently. I have been very fortunately in my life. I need my son's in my life as much as they need me. Perhaps there is time to reconstruct this. I believe so. Time will tell...

So, with those two goals in mind, I embark on my pursuit. I love to shoot images. I also live in one of the most diverse areas in the country. I read an article in the LA Times about HDR Photography. Seeing those images has gotten me inspired again. So, tonight it begins. Its me, a camera, and tripod.

Time to make magic!
