A bit of my own medicine...

You've been working on the latest assignment, to shoot and be shot, to feel for a moment or two the vulnerability of being in front of the lens. And as the photographic fates would have it, I found myself in the same position over the weekend with designer and photographer Dan Goods.

Saturday morning we hiked to the Red Cliffs falls where we shot. Dan shot the canyon while I shot Dan.


He then turned the camera on us. Using a remote SpeedLight shrouded with a GamiLight diffuser, he framed up Mindy after pulling shutter speed exposure off the background. His Nikon controls the remote flash's power and fires it via an IR transmission.


Mindy became what Dan called his voice-activiated light stand.



And then it was my turn. Like most, I don't like being photographed, and the lesson of vulnerability was caught once again, though I was in the very capable hands and eyes of this photographer.

A tractor graveyard and a foggy morning in Eugene. What better combination for light, color and texture.
