California Sunbounce Surprise
Yesterday, FedEx delivered a package from California Sunbounce.
It was a gift from the good folks at The Image Light Group in California. I won the Sunbounce Micro-Mini Frame with the Zebra/White fabric by attending the PPE show.
Pretty cool product. I have several friends that use them and feel that they are well designed reflectors and scrims I like the design and they now have a new customer. I plan to use this micro on location portraits and will purchase a larger unit to go along with my other reflectors.
Many thanks for the the Image Light Group for this surprise.
AerialStock.com – New Gallery of DC aerials
I am uploading quite a bit of new aerial work to Getty Images and my portal, AerialStock.com.
Yesterday, I added a royalty-free collection of Washington, DC images to the main page plus changed the profiles of all the images to include digital printing and delivery.
The majority of the site will continue to remain as a rights-managed collection of images.
The flash presentation below shows the new DC gallery.
Pete Souza and the Rise of Barack Obama
Two years of incredible access.
Pete was President Reagan’s photographer. He was the DC shooter for the Chicago Tribune. Now he teaches at Ohio University. Great guy. Top notch photographer.
A couple of months ago, Pete was back in the area and some of his close friends hosted a book signing/bar b que for him. Pete revealed a few great stories behind the images during his slide show.
Buy the book here or contact pete@petesouza.com com for an autographed copy.

Sophie the wonder dog
My next door neighbor owns three dogs. The youngest, Ms. Sophie, is my favorite. She is always full of energy and love.
Today she was in full gallop as her mother tossed a tennis ball for her morning exercise.
I am carrying the Canon G10 with me everywhere I go these days. For recording life and the little visual gifts that unfold before me.
Concrete Pedro’s
Stopped by Pedro-Land again as I may my way north from Atlanta to Virginia. It was just after sunrise, I needed a break from my early start and decided to shoot a few pictures with my new Canon G10. The goal was to see how well the fill -in flash worked on this little wonder of a carry-around camera.
The camera can is very versatile and you can set your fill flash to minimal (as set here) or you can over-power the sunlight. The ability to sync at higher speeds is going to be very useful when I am shooting in Haiti and want to not look like a pro with the big guns or the Leica hanging off of my shoulder.
South of The Border is a campy roadside attraction just south of the North Carolina/South Carolina border. The wikipedia entry describes how it was started in the fifties.
Back in the early nineties, I shot a picture of a Sombrero ride that was published in the Communication Arts Photo Annual.
South of The Border is located on Route 301 where it crosses Interstate 95. For hundreds of miles (north and south), Interstate 95 is littered with dozens of Pedro Say’s Billboards…all written with a whacky expression to get you to stop. This place is bizzarro and I love its tackiness….just for grins.
