(L-R) Marty Day, Nick Borkowicz, and (cough cough) Me. This was shot this back in May, 2006.

We got a wild hair up our asses one night. cheap sunglasses, headbands, and novelty gold medals… boom!

Believe it or not, the structure behind us is — check this out — made of styrofoam!!!!! Marty’s step dad does some styrofoam set building on the side.

I set the camera’s intervalometer to take a photo every 5 seconds. I pocket-wizard’d three Alien Bees to light up the situation, too. The lesson I learned is that a five count is an abnormal rhythm. We were off on most of these photos. So, if I ever do something like this again, I’m setting the camera to take a photo every four seconds.

If no one else is around, this is how I sometimes test out my lighting set up.

Truth be told, I had a fun Maryland Family shoot article about old wives tales, specifically about how childrens’ faces are threatened to “stick.”

by the way, these updates are still coming! I know some of you are totally stoked about this, but I’ll bet most of you are getting pretty annoyed. But hang in there, folks! This is my little way of ringing IN the New Year. thanks for sticking with me.

with black eyed peas,

Matt Roth
