I thought it might be interesting to see some shots taken by my assistant of me making images. My assistant’s view is never my view and sometimes the images are completely different when viewed from my position.



Here is a dancer suspended from a bridge above a rapidly moving river in North Georgia.

Here I am in the cross street in Times Square. The dancer, Yannick Labrun, is on the left and is coming down from an incredible split jump.

Here we are at sunrise at one of my favorite locations. It is a boat launching ramp at Lake Chatuge in North Georgia.

Now here we are in Centennial Park in Atlanta. It is a reflecting pool and I do have a photo permit just in case. I wanted to use the reflection with the dancer.

This is a graffiti covered tunnel in the downtown Atlanta area. There I am standing like an idiot in the road with little room for cars to pass. My dancer is safely in the center between the two lanes.

Finally, we are in a chestnut grove in North Georgia. Now there is no way to get both of these dancers in focus at the same time. So here is a demonstration of using “Depth of Field” to give a photograph interest.
