Here Again
This morning I still had my hopes up that i would indeed be shooting in a flock of pigeons... I had gotten an early call from our location manager, telling me that the location hadn't yet said "no" and she had a good feeling about it. That was enough for me, I was excited! I figured if he was still teetering, he could be convinced!
It turns out no, he wasn't teetering. Apparently we are really hard to actually say the word "no" to. Location manager and I went around there this morning, to beg, bribe, whatever. I pulled out every stop I could think of. Nothing worked, I thought we had the location about 5 times, but then it always ended up with a screwed up face and the statement that we were just making "bloody pictures for dirty perverts to whack off to".
whatevs.
After this morning I was feeling pretty deflated. The model, Alisa was awesome and I really wanted to do something cool with her. Someone suggested an old railway bridge, sounded ok to me. I figured I would do something cool with the Verso I had hired for the Pigeon shoot. As it turns out, I didn't end up using it for the actual shoot (though I used it for yesterday's) instead we waited for the sun to get low and used the natural light. The trains screaming past at high speed provided some excitement, and its pretty hard to get a bad shoot with a model as great as I had today.
