a quick image from a recent shoot

I had to shoot woodstove pads for a local Amish craftsman.

It was loads of fun, available light only, no AC, etc... I really need to get a couple of inverters soon. Fuji S2, Nikkor 24mm 2.8

I'm waiting with anticipation for an SLR/n, should make life easier (hopefully) for product work.

Here's the one selected for use as the cover on a promo piece:

Good shot. I've always been interested in the Amish.
The product is the flooring under the stove foot, right?

Yes, and unfortunately it was an AD directed shot, even after I tried to explain it's great (if you're selling stoves), I decided that getting paid is more important than being right.
This particular AD is a total lunatic, I'm still trying to get her broken in and to start using storyboards or making blue lines, at least to give me some idea of what they want. Seems in school they told her story boards are a thing of the past, nobody uses them anymore.

Funny thing is after a few shoots with her, I get rough sketches to go by, it's a start.
