Photo shoot for Nadoz Café in Saint Louis… After years of establishing themselves as a great place to nab a salad, panini or crepe – they’re trying out a few new things. You wouldn’t think a european-inspired café would be a place to grab an American classic – but they’re hoping to catch folks off guard and illicit some curiosity.

These are a far cry from Burger King… I didn’t get chance to actually try one – but my eyes and nose said they’re delicious.

While there we also threw some other new stuff in front of the camera like their individual pizzas.

tech note:
These were shot using natural light (window) with some hand-held Speedlight bounce-fill… Made for SUPER fast shooting. That kinda stuff always makes clients happy since I’m not there stinking the place up for hours with the meter running. 🙂

first $hoot with new lights


Hey… where’d the weekend go?

That food shoot I mentioned was on Friday…. The client, (catering company), was having their 07 menu tasting… It was my job to catch things as they left the kitchen, shoot it quickly and then pass it off to a server.

The new-old lights performed admirably…. enough so that I won’t be so nervous the next time an assignment like this comes up. (Think I’m going to snarf around on eBay for a used flash meter).

Met Daniel / Drew & their friends from K.C. at JJ’s for the bear’s happy hour…

Super-silly arty eccentrics…. Loved ’em! We now have new friends on the other side of the state… and yet another excuse to take a long weekend and schlep into KC and Kansas.

Did I mention it’s really…. really cold outside?

Did I mention I have this problem with babbling?
