why thank you :)
very nice
I just discovered my camera has a b/w setting...so I played with that for about half an hour tonight...pretty fun. Tomorrow I'm shooting some fireworks for the yearbook, we'll see how those turn out.
yeah nice find on that area... and we really need to make sure we're wearing the same shirt from now on, i thought that's why you called this morning....
i've yet to shoot in b/w on camera too... tim lease says its pretty amazing... the guy he assisted out here used to shoot b/w on camera. i'm pumped to see some of your new work man... keep it coming.

lol... CHRIS! i saw that church last time i was up that way when i shot that mcdonalds... we were just real lucky that the lighting was amazing for us. next time... we'll make sure we're dress cordinated... maybe if we ever make it big as photographers we can hire like wardrobe managers....
Water towers store water "up high" in order to keep the pressure up so it will flow out of your faucet. A pump pumps the water up, and then the pump can shut off... otherwise the pump would have to run constantly and you would also have to have a pressure release valve-- wasting energy and burning out the pump. With a tower, the pump can do its job and then shut off. The more water you can hold at the top (i.e., the bigger the "balloon" at the top of the stand, the less frequently you have to run the pump (the water level will take longer to go down below the height it needs for correct pressure). All it really is, is a pipe and a tank at the top. The rest is just support and stairs/ladders.
... sorry, I just felt COMPELLED to help you out here... :)
ahhhhh... very enlightening you learn something new everyday... thank you very much.
LOVE the church shots, especially the desat.
Great work, Jim. Keep GOYA!
