It doesn’t really matter. For the autistic elevator explorer there is no choice. The adventure will take him through each portal to examine the differences in all three. Speed, temperature, sensitivity of the buttons, even the smells will be compared and analyzed. To what end? Only the Elevator Pilgrim knows for certain. But there are plenty of them. All across the world. Like an episode from The X-Files or the Twilight Zone, Autistic children and adults from each corner of […]
A little different take on the elevator series. When a autistic child has a calling to fill his obsessive needs, you need to respond. Often with no time to retrieve the quality equipment I prefer to shoot with. At those times the iphone and apps come in pretty handy. In fact, with proper use they can turn an otherwise mundane parking lot elevator into a work of art. As these new additions to the elevator series will show. […]
XPAL had a fun use for this great Hyper Realism style. Excitingly searching for more clients willing to take this bold look and use it wisely.
On occasion the elevators we visit are not so inviting. Periodically the odor wafting forth will acknowledge a previous human presence. Some elevators appear to be constructed more closely to a bunker or confining moving cell than an elegant carriage of transportation. But when something is an obsession, all one considers is filling that need, that desire, that addiction. So if it’s an elevator and there is something unique about it, Matthew is called to action. And I am literally along […]
This project was actually completed a while ago, but this is my first chance to show off the nice images we created for a totally new concept in legal services. LegalForce is the first walk in legal service venue. It’s such a unique concept that it’s best for me to not even try to explain it. Better to just check it out for yourself: http://www.legalforce.com I
Another project from my New Zealand friends at Fairfax magazines. http://www.fairfaxmagazines.co.nz/index.html A portrait of restaurateur Tony Stewart and his new place in San Francisco, the Waiheke Island Yacht Club. Great place and great food. As the photo’s below will show. I have to say, I was treated to the best lamb meal I have ever had in my life! I wish you great success Tony, you have taken on quite a project. Just some of the excellent […]
The Da Vinci Device. A totally cool, futuristic robotic surgical machine. I was contacted by Fairfax magazines out of New Zealand to shoot a unique portrait of Catherine Mohr, the Director of Research at Intuitive Medical. http://www.fairfaxmagazines.co.nz/index.html The people Intuitive Medical were amazingly inspiring because, like Catherine, they are all passionate about their jobs and the future of surgical procedures. The overriding theme seems to be to constantly ask the question: “How can we improve this procedure next […]
Since working directly with Flolight, the video lighting manufacture, there have been some exciting and fun events taking place. Like the recent lighting demo at 4th Street Studio’s. These shots were all done with the FloLight lighting systems. Thanks to the wonderful model Domonique was lit here using three LED lights. With a separate spot on the backgrond. Simple, clean, but beautiful. Lighting set-up for these shots started with a 2500 fluorescent from FloLIght. […]
More in the on going elevator series. The background story: Matthew is autistic. For some reason Matthew and many other kids and adults like him have an eerie compulsion to ride and video tape elevators. The images on this blog are just a few that have not been added to the entire series. Which can be found here: http://melphoto.com/portfolios/elevators/ Hard Rock Cafe’ Hotel, San Diego K Parkade Bay Elevators, San Diego A C […]
