Sooner or later, you'll crash a drive, lose data, etc., and you'll call Ted. Ted has saved me and numerous others and more importantly, he not only "gives me a fish", but teaches me "how to fish", and be more proactive about backing up and maintaining proper procedures for computer longevity.

Lily at Western Avenue Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo I had the pleasure of working with Lily , who is a very talented model. She's creative with her posing and very professional, and all around fun girl to hang with. You can see her Model Mayhem portfolio here . This photo was taken using one SB-800 flash, on 1/4 power, to light up most of the area around Lily. You can see that it was at camera left by the shadow on the wall. Another SB-800, 1/8 power, had a color temperature orange gel and snoot, to direct light into the face and chest area. Camera was set to tungsten white balance about 2500K. ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/125 sec. I also found a cool link tutorial about mapping text onto irregular surfaces so I used it to write Lily's name on the wall.
