Tonight I took some photographs at the grist.org Drink Green Event. It was fun. Here are some shoots.

Updates to the website

Today I added the "missing pages" to the main website. Also the business cards are on the way. Hope to get them this week to start a couple of projects that I have in mind.

G.Gibson Print Exhibit Analysis

Last week I went to check out the exhibit of old prints.  They had a nice selection from a number of masters including Ansel Adams.  Out of the prints I picked two as my favorites photographs of the exhibit.

Best Print:
Ruth Bernhard - Nude in a Box

Very sexy.  Extraordinary Tonal Range, Complementary curves around the hips, lower back and breast in contrast with the straight lines of the box.

Great lighting achieving nice light drop off in the curves and a well lit face.

The expression on the model face is relax, peaceful.

The tonality on the back ground matches the tonality inside the box which is very pleasing.

2nd Best:

Ruth Orkin - American Girl in Italy



Very Dynamic Image.  I really like how you can go face to face and your eye stays in the image.  Some of the people are aware of the photographer so it feels like photographer is part of the gang of guys looking at the beautiful girl.  Also I like the guy that is rearaging his jewels, a old hispanic tick.
