23/365: Raleigh Flow

Another day of picture-makin'. Today was in Raleigh, NC, with a fun set of people. More  pics after the jump...

Meet Brian Flores, a progressive, positive hip-hop artist I met last year.  I shot a good number of frames with him today in Raleighwood, walking around downtown and attracting attention from passers-by. The pictures are meant for his official web page, which is coming soon, but you can check his music here: http://soundcloud.com/flores-1

Strobist Info for the above shot: One Canon 580exII in shoot thru umbrella camera left and back a bit, triggered with Pocketwizards.

This next one is another one of my favorites from the day. Shot with a manual Nikon 50mm 1.2 with Canon EOS adaptor. Impossible to focus that lens thru the viewfinder, wide open. Many bad frames. A couple good ones.

And here's Juan, who kept the people at bay and told any kids that asked what we were doing that we were with Sports Illustrated and were just killing time until the limo showed up. Most believed him.

All in all, a fun day, but now I'm exhausted and ready to kick back. Thanks all for stopping by.
