>Sol Neelman

This this Sol's portfolio. It's a Quicktime show of his best work. It's not bad except for the glaring obvious lack of what we call in the business a, "Picture Story." He knows about this serious omission he just isn't willing to do anything about it. He won't listen to me...or Rob Finch.

I spent most of the day struggling to find a decent feature picture in Florence, Ore. This is normally an easy task. Florence has the dunes, the beach, lakes, parks, and plenty of people doing things outdoors. A storm hit and everyone stayed indoors. The sky was white. I decided to wait until the sun went down. This is the image I sent. It shows the marina on the Siuslaw River as seen from the boardwalk on Bay Street.

Technical Info: I shot this on a Canon 20D with a 24/1.4 lens at 800 asa. I put the white balance on tungsten and underexposed it by almost 2 stops to give it a saturated cool tone look. In photoshop I clipped the shadows and highlights. I lightened the boats in curves using the history tool, darkened the sky and ran Velvia Vision over it for contrast and saturation.

I've been following a young band since this March. I went to L.A. with reporter Lewis Taylor and we followed them to the rehearsal studio and around town. They were back in Eugene, December 2, at the WOW Hall. I shot this photo from the stage of a kid surfingthe mosh pit.

Appreciating Christmas
Originally uploaded by thomasrboyd.

I've studied parenting very carefully I've found that children should have to work for everything they get. Not only did I have them water this tree every week I had them trim it every summer. Today I had them cut it down with a nail file and drag it over 400 yards to the truck.

They will appreciate Christmas whether they want to or not. They will thank me later.

>Yep. My first blog post. This is a test really. So cut me slack. I promise to be back later with some seriously witty stuff. The pressure to do so is overwhelming.
