Innocence

Raymond Towler was convicted of rape, two counts of felonious assault and two counts of kidnapping of a 11 year old girl and a 12 year old boy in Cleveland in 1981.  He was sentenced to life in prison.  He served 28.5 years before being exonerated in May 2010 after Mark Godsey and the Innocence Project contributed to his case proving his innocence with new DNA testing.  His story can be found here: Innocence Project

57k turntable

A few months back we shot the “world’s best record player” for The Absolute Sound magazine.  It is a $57,000.00 390lb black and brass beast called the Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond Mk II made by Walker Audio We didn’t get the hear it though, but I can only imagine…here’s the review for anyone in the market.  For the shoot we had to shoot it on location in the editors home, on the third floor, and it could NOT be moved.  There was several hundred thousand dollars worth of amps/speakers/cables within inches of this unit.  It was a challenge to say the least.

We just shot a slightly less costly turntable last week for the same publication…to be continued…

ETC – Marvelous Wonderettes

I do a lot of work with the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati.  This was a pre-pro shoot for an upcoming show called The Marvelous Wonderettes by Roger Bean.  More here

Cheer

Shot for a cover story on the best local high schools that appeared in Cincinnati Magazine . We were scheduled to shoot some football players and cheerleaders on a field at dusk.  It ended up raining non stop so we moved the shoot indoors.  We had brought a pop up tent in case we could shoot outside.  After two false starts we were finally able to make it outdoors just as the sun set.  There was an amazing mist/fog in the air which felt like 99% humidity.  It turned out to be a great shoot.

Ochocinco

We photographed Chad OchoCinco of the Cincinnati Bengals late last year.  The book just came out last month and was published by Crown Publishing | a division of Random House.  He is making the rounds on his book tour and the cover made it on Letterman.  You can buy the book here or here.
