Went hunting for art today...

We've been cursed with cloud-free skies for about a week, so when clouds started to form this morning over Waco, I knew I'd have the urge to put my near-infra-red filter on my D100 and head out to capture puffy white clouds against a black (or at least dark) sky. I sent the pic on this blog entry to a local television station (KXXV) that used it during the weather segment -- billed as "one of the most artist weather pictures they've ever received" (grin). Sadly, I missed out on the real action, which occurred east of I-35, while I was searching for weather formations on the west side. If I am diligent on Saturday, the same area where I was hunting today will have a slew of storms to photograph.

Gradually, I'm getting an online reel together.

I know that it's slow coming, but I've always considered myself to be a late-bloomer. Even though I've been shooting for years, I've always neglected to hang on to the footage that might get me another job as a shooter. So, I've finally snagged some recent footage to show that I can at least hold a motion picture camera.

Film Fest Results

I went back to Dallas last night to attend the screening of all of the entries for the Eight Days of Creation (EDOC) film fest. Ours was among twenty-three entries to this, the fourth annual event. This year's theme was "risk". Our entry, entitled, "Catalyst" was the 12th one to be shown. After seeing the first eleven, I felt that we had a darn good chance of placing first. Then, the thirteenth entry played, and I felt that we might have a chance at 2nd place. Before the end of the screening, I knew that we didn't stand a chance. It was our first foray into this thing, and we learned enough to be better prepared for the next project.
