photoshoot three

My friend Dana who is an excellent painter schemed this idea for a shoot with me. We bought a bunch of dollar store umbrellas and hung them off of a bridge over the LA river. I knew the image i wanted to see and could not quite capture it for this shoot. I still only had one lens for my camera (fixed focal 50mm) and I got quite a bit of excercise framing these shots. While I did not get the look i was going for, I did come to appreciate the quality of these images. The surreal aspect worked out well for the terrible lighting i was contending with too. I can't wait to re-shoot this idea. The LA river is a great spot for pictures.
