First shot is great. Very nice high key shot and you handled the light balance perfectly.

That's similar to what I mumble every time I assemble something from IKEA, but not a literal translation.

Gee, I wonder if I can convince IKEA to carry white towels and code name them CHUCK

You'd HAVE to put your portrait on the cover! I'd mock one up for you, but I'd be afraid of getting another COPYWRITTEN IMAGE WARNING message from you.

Mocking does seem to be what you are best at, but I can handle my own marketing, thank you very much.

If I shoot white towels with a baby on them, do I have to get a release from Chuck to provide prints to the parents? What if I shoot Blue or Pink? Release still needed?

Just asking.

No you get a special exemption... No toll for trolls. Discounts with they come in tag-teams

Kewl... Just covering my basis... I don't shoot towels, per sey, but one never knows. I may just go out on a limb and run to target for a box full, and go nutz in the shop.

Trick is, finding a mom who still want's that shot. That's the key. Maybe I could 're-invent' the shot. Instead of a bow on top, maybe a model car or something...

Now of course, I'm sure it was in Vogue when you we're working, I mean, walking around with Monte and talking over good times.

Those stories never get old.

What ever works for you Pfiltz. I seem to recall you mentioning once it took you two years to realize the room lights needed to be off in order to see the effect of the modeling lights so I really don't expect you to understand the value of the towel for gauging highlight exposure or for that matter the value of time spent learning from someone at the top of a profession one is interested in joining.

Top of the profession? Really?

If that's what you want to think, that's quite Okay with me.

No worries.

I've got to pack a towel, and throw it in my camera bag. Shooting senior these evening for some fall work.

Got a mom coming in for a bit to go over proofs.

Be back later. Keep those printing press's running today.

Maybe not down in Podunk where "the client bought it" is the only measure of excellence. But PPofA, which last time I checked was still the trade association of the photographic profession seemed to think so. So did hundreds of other pros who took his classes over a period of 40 years. Jezz Pflitz, even the United Nations honored Monte. What more proof do you need?

Ironically, your style (when you bother to get the exposure correct) is closer to Monte's style back in the 70's than you realize.

All the tones are light
Even Cat's eyes are not dark
Now that's a High-Key!

(Sorry, for anyone who figures out the theme.)

On a semi-serious note, that first image is stunning. The kid is cute and it's a nice shot, but that first image is visually arresting.

haha, when you mentioned using a cat as a towel, it reminded me of this whose line video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G6-8JOcMBQ

i love the lighting and clarity of these images. very good work!

Thanks Tony en Ariel for replying!
