KielPhoto Takes Flight

 Team Kiel has a new addiction… a remote controlled helicopter. It’s UNBELIEVABLE.
   He used it throughout his last shoot with Tabasco… through the fields.. in the bayou…
   and even in the barrel warehouse. The footage is incredible and the versatility 
   with the small remote copter is sure to change the world of film. We are speechless…
   Can’t wait to share the footage with you.  Soon to come.

Eric Schmidt's: "Something About The River"


Something About The River


"Floating upward through a confusion of dreams and memory, curving like a trout through the rings of previous risings, I surface. My eyes open. I am awake."

- Wallace Stegner
"Crossing To Safety"

There is something about the river that draws me in.
And it's true that some of the most reflective days of my life have been spent standing in the middle of one. Because when you find yourself there, waist deep and surrounded by all of the elements... there's nothing like it.




It's hard to pinpoint my attraction to it as the constant movement and fluctuation of the surroundings captivate me.
The course of these elements are in synch with our lives - they're non-stop, everchanging and full of purpose too.
But unlike our own lives, the life streaming above and below the surface is much simpler - and pure.

So there you have it.

Maybe that's where the attraction lies.

Suffolk Portraits by Pete Barrett


A while back Pete shot a little project with Bluefish for Suffolk Construction doing some corporate work for their advertising.    Suffolk is a rather large company which constructs buildings across the country.   He was tasked with shooting portraits of their management and executives.  The original job was produced as clean portraits on grey. He then decided to give it a twist and took it farther adding a bit of style & flare in post which you can see here.    In all he shot about 15 portraits.

Thomas Broening - 15 minutes with Steve Jobs


Thomas got a call from Fortune Magazine asking him if he wanted to shoot Steve Jobs and some new device Apple was working on. It was 2001. He had shot him before and always left the shoot a little shaken but said yes. He got to Apple early to set up. All the traffic around the building was stopped and blackout curtains were put up around the room. Someone put a plain cardboard box on the table.


Steve Jobs rolled in and Thomas spent about 15 minutes photographing him and this little white music player ( the image above is from a later shoot) .


After he left, Thomas picked up the iPod and held it in his hand.


'Mheh" he thought to himself.
RIP Mr. Jobs
