Ray Barton Racing Engines Photography

I recently spent  several days photographing racing engines and parts for Ray and Dave Barton.  What a blast.  Great guys.  Used on location studio lights (Alien Bee and LomoPro160 combination)  Also had a chance to use the McNally 24" Lumoquest soft box.  Really did good things for the shadows.

Seventeen, count 'em, seventeen engines!

Took this panorama from a fork lift up near the ceiling!

Goodbye Kodak

Kodak files for bankruptcy on January 23, 2012.  On the day when just about every photographer over 30 pauses to consider Kodak's filing for bankruptcy, a poignant video. The once-dominant company obviously knew it was already in trouble at this point, but still came out swinging in a refreshing appeal to the future.

Considering this was made in 2006 (and how quickly things have happened since) the video was pretty darn prescient. In the end, all of these things did happen. Just without the need for Kodak.

Five year old reviews logos.

A little off topic for this blog but a great idea and presentation.  Enjoy.
