77/365. God I can't wait for pancakes.

Random photo from the IHOP pool. This photo qualifies for today even though it feels like yesterday since it was taken quite a bit time after midnight.

strobist info: SB-900 & SB-600 both @ 1/4 on both sides of the ceiling. created sufficient light for the whole back room. triggered via PWii's.

Taken on the final day of SxSW just on my own to the closing party. Thanks for a good time everyone. It was great to see everyone at the IHOP as well :) Cheers.

This is Austin

These folks *actually* work for People magazine. They orginally asked me to take their photo with a point-n-shoot. I took one bad photo, and then a decent one. About five minutes later I returned with my real camera gear and then took a proper photo (the one shown). Thanks guys, it was nice to meet you :)

75/365. No really, you tell *me* what's going on.

Seriously, if you can explain what's going on in this picture, props to you. This was one of those spur of the moment / get up on a chair / point the camera at the people kind of shot. It was also the first time I had mounted my flash to my camera in quite a while, and it kinda felt good to be a little lazy. Braden (the man pictured front and left) helped me as a light assistant for the day. He's totally awesome.

strobist info: Nikon SB-900 on good 'ol classic bounce pointing straight up mounted go camera (sorry, no off camera fun-ness today) @ 1/2 power with CTO gel.

73/365.
Kiss me, fool
It's that kind of a week here in Austin at the SxSW conference. Thanks to Hugh Forrest I managed to get my press pass again. (Thanks a ton Hugh!). The next dozen or so photos are just a brief experience of the first day. So be sure to check out that set as well as more to come.

And for those counting, there is a day missing in my 365 which is on my memory other memory card, so I'll get to that later.

strobist info: SB-900 @ 1/16 on a portable human lightstand (Erin) attached to a 43" reflective umbrella — camera left.

Yeah, this hat looks good on me
