I really suck at keeping this thing updated. Yell at me more often please! Anyways, I had awesome photos from forever but I don't have time to post them now. So we are starting with a shoot from yesterday and will attempt to keep this up daily.
This was my A choice submission to the Newspaper for print on the story. Its about a company from Virginia who rebuilt this organ from scratch after the organ in the church burnt down after a fire in the sanctuary. This company has also built organs for the likes of Yale. There are 2 guys and one girl who work for them.
I selected this pic because I like how you can see both men working on it. The jobs they are individually doing are interrelated and are vital to do at the same time. The man on the left tunes the pipes by ear to the note that the man on the right plays. There is a lot of removal of pipes and stuff.
Also, this was one of the only shots that shows him blowing into the pipe to tune it.
I am amused by the color cast inside of the organ, a pea soup green. They must have been sodium vapor lights or something because the fluorescent corrections and levels just weren't working.
Overall I like the diptych feeling of the image, two separate but vitally connected elements to the story in one frame.
I also did a video on the story which I will be editing in the next few days.
And after that half thrown together explanation I am backing to working on graduation stuff !

so this was chosen solely to show the awesomeness of a full frame camera with a 14 mm lens.
