Tom is in the process of moving from Des Moines to the Omaha area. Here’s some photos of him attempting to play The Awakening by Les Claypool on his bass guitar. Awesome song, I must add.
4 Wheels Off Ground
September 23rd, 2007
So it started like this: Minding my own business enjoying my duty free Sunday, I receive a frantic phone call. It was Richard. He asks how fast can I get down to the banks of the Des Moines River in West Des Moines. Realizing my plans for the day didn’t even include a trip outdoors, I was stumped. Then Richard says “Well dude, me Dion and Kelly are 4-wheeling along the river. It’s awesome, bring your camera.” Ok, Ok, I’m there. No one happens to mention that I can’t get there by car. I have to ride over a levy, across a highway, and through a mile or two of trails on the back of a 4 wheeler with two bags of gear. Luckily it was well worth it.

DSM Skateboarding
August 22nd, 2007
I met Gabe of www.dsmskateboarding.com at Skate South where they gather once a week or so.
This being my first time shooting any indoor low light sports, I didn’t do horrible but I didn’t do as well as I wanted to either. The poor and sparse lighting (rollerskating rinks usually only use their mood and disco lighting) didn’t help me capture action very well. I had to use compact strobe flashes to illuminate and freeze the action. I should have used more variety in lighting setups for better results. It was definitely more challenging than any shooting I’ve done before, a learning experience no doubt.
