I drove around for about 8 hours yesterday trying to strum up some inspiration. Ive been thinking for a while about a series that has kids driving cars. I drove up into Pennsylvania for a while and back down into Maryland looking for some nice windy country roads. All in all it was a pretty disappointing day, but here’s one image that surprised me when I got back home. it could make for a nice chase scene. As an added note I have to mention how much i’m enjoying Smugmug’s software for the iphone. It allows me to take a shot during a scout and upload it to my Smugmug account with my longitude and latitude coordinates embedded into it. That should make it easier to find my way back when it comes time to shoot.

I spent a week in September learning about the narrative portrait from Amy Arbus. If you ever get the opportunity to attend the Maine Media Workshops, I highly recommend it. It’s one of those environments just overflowing with creativity.
