Very nice lighting. The subjects seem to jump out of the scene.

Thanks Karley. I used the D70 with a fill in flash with a diffuser. It was all on automatic.

Really a nice shot. This kinda stuff is the reason I put you down as my favorite shooter. You always come back with pix better than anyone thought we'd get of the subject and it's always on time.

I really appreciate the kudos. Thanks. I also consider you as one of the best artists because of your work on deadline. I find what you do to be a lot harder than what I do. I go out and see and capture. But you have to dig into your mind to produce. Quite a difference. A lot of guys, both photographers and artists can produce given enough time, but to do stuff within a given amount of time and to make it look good, that is hard. A lot of guys come up to me to show me their photographs and I just wonder how long it took them to come up with that one photo and how many mistakes they made before they came up with the good one. That is why I am not usually impressed with past work such as portfolios. I would rather see what can you do right now. Which reminds me of the new photographer we are to hire pretty soon. He seems to be the type to produce under pressure. Adios

Same goes for writers and any other artizen. It's tough to pull something off within a certain window of time. Thanks for your kudos as well.
