The Atlantic, an Old World Crossing, Part 2

October 22nd, 2009

 

As the storm raged, 30 foot waves slammed into the bowsprit. The bow cleavered the ocean like butter, rising to the challenge of the seas constant onslaught. The rise and fall of the hull being compensated for by our rhythmic flexing at the knees. Everyone bending and leaning in synchronicity like puppets, all the while maintaining a grasp on something solid. The ships undulations spanned 45 degrees leaning in both directions side to side. The ship questing consistent equilibrium as the bow rose and fell 30 to 40 feet. Digging deep into the oceans troughs. It was exhausting just trying to stand anywhere on the ships decks, never mind trying to get a few photos, all the while I was shielding my camera’s lens from the constant blasts of corrosive salty ocean air.

Ways to make your on location shoot flow.

September 17th, 2009

It’s the day of your shoot and you are packing up your car with everything you need for the wedding reception shoot. The first thing you want to remember is that you have a backup of all your equipment. It is the worst feeling in the world when you realize one of your most important pieces of equipment suddenly has a problem and you are 45 miles from your studio, or you forgot to bring business cards. This only has to happen once, because you will never forget again - that’s why a checklist is always a good idea.

The Atlantic, Part 1

September 3rd, 2009

An Old World Crossing

The ship was rolling beyond the point of where it was capable of recovering…….. or so were the thoughts screaming in my brain!!! Waves swept the decks every few minutes with surprising ease, eliminating all in its path. One poor soul got a complete soaker for having the temerity to boldly venture forth, attempting to cross the ships “waist deck” , but with incredibly poor timing. Fortunately, he only got wet, and not injured from first sliding and then slamming into the bulwarks on the far side of the wet slimy deck. We were deep into one of those early Spring storms, common here on the east coast of the USA. A good time to be sailing, or just getting sick, with many of us just trying to sleep through it all somehow. Everybody had their own way of dealing with the excessive rocking and rolling..never mind the ups and downs to top it all off. This is the worst sort of carnival ride ever, and it never seemed to end! My romantic notions of sailing across the Atlantic were dashed right from the start. This was sea fairing reality!
