Erik Simkins- I love this guy.

I met him on Grassroots- he hides under tables, in fireplaces and in bushes to get shots on set.
He's one of my 2 'Go-To' set photographers.

Regan MacStravic is my other #1fav.

The combination of these 2 amazing visions is perfect to capture all the set style essence, story line, making of,  emotion, challenges, dynamics, cast head-shots and promo spots that a producer could ever want!  They are Amazing!

Of course I'd love to do my own more often, but there never seems to be a moment to get to wardrobe and hair&makeup.

~I apologize for mixing up the images without credits-its oh so unprofessional, but I'm fairly sure this is an even mix of my 2 friends talent right here and I'll get it sorted out if you just ask~

Stickie Love

I love stickers just like the next kid.  but it still feels like cheating.

Here is how we used a garden collection from Wee Gallery the set of The Details (due out fall'10):

 

Stickers and vinyl decals are a simple and quick means to add whimsy or panache to any room with out committing to hours of sketching details free hand or from a projected image. And the vinyl are typically 'removable', which is great for kids and non-committal types (I don't even hang art on my walls)  The obvious use is for nursery, children and dorm rooms.  But there are some
Prices start around $10 usd and go up to $200+.
Here are some tastefully thought decals:
