I saw a post from five or six years ago come up on the stats for the blog today. I re-read it. It's still true. De-bunking the breathless five minute CEO portrait sessions...
Thinking about your more recent work, I think that a substantial part of the gear and the prep has slimmed down, for various reasons. You've seldom mentioned having a crew, and you've rationalized the gear you bring with you to something that you can manage single-handedly.
Very true. I still try to bring an assistant as a stand in and extra set of hands if we're lighting, working with a CEO/Exec, and doing multiple locations. Ben is a good assist but he's less and less interested in participating lately. He's got more valuable stuff to do.
We Moderate Comments, Yours might not appear right after you hit return. Be patient; I'm usually pretty quick on getting comments up there. Try not to hit return again and again.... If you disagree with something I've written please do so civilly. Be nice or see your comments fly into the void. Anonymous posters are not given special privileges or dispensation. If technology alone requires you to be anonymous your comments will likely pass through moderation if you "sign" them. A new note: Don't tell me how to write or how to blog! I can't make you comment but I don't want to wade through spam!
