Being a commercial photographer can be surreal at times. Take this recent shoot at the Sacramento Zoo for example. http://bit.ly/9EwP4Q I’m photographing architecture but the users are not human they are Giraffa camelopardalis or Giraffes! Nacht & Lewis Architects with Otto Construction teamed up and created this awesome paradise for Goody, Valentine, & Skye a group of awesome ungulates with sweet dispositions. This has to be one of the most diverse shoots of my career thus far and I am privileged to play a part in telling the story. If you live in Sacramento young or old you need to check the exhibit out http://bit.ly/3hHBHM!

So this was an experiment. I thought okay so there is time-lapse photography and it usually is shown in a movie format. But all the time lapse I see, the frames and movement of the any object is chunky/clunky- I thought what if I could place a cross dissolve between each frame , speed it up, so it gives the appearance of ghosting to the moving objects. And with the fog it makes for a really cool dissolve. I’m hoping to perfect this technique so that I can offer it to my clients. I think when life/nature interacts with architecture it brings it all together and tells a story. Check out the movie of 980 9th Street here- watch it in 780 as it is made for that: http://bit.ly/cKeeCX
