Is anyone intersted.....

Posted by Kim C on May 13, 2008 at 5:13pm in Photographic Discussion

in doing a little shooting at the Baxter Ave. Train Station with me? I would love to go there but (to be perfectly honest) I'm a little scared. I figured we might have safety in numbers? If anyone is interested we'll work out details later but I would like to go in the next couple of weeks. Also, if anyone has reason why I shouldn't go feel free to share that as well. I could easily be persuaded against the adventure even though I'm feeling pretty fearless today (as fearless as a chicken could be!)

Also, anybody bringing a makeup kit or artist?
What lighting gear is everyone bringing? Anybody bringing a battery pack for strobes?
Of course it may be moot if I can't get away from the kids....; ▶ Reply to This

As far as gear~I'm not really sure yet. I have never been there so maybe someone who has can give us a better idea as far a lighting goes. I know I want to pack as light as possible but I want to be prepared as well. Also, if anyone has ever been there and had a vision of a great shot that required a model it looks like we have several photogenic people going along. If you've been there and already have an idea be sure to put it out there and we'll see what we can do to make it happen. I've learned that having photographer friends also means being their models (victims) from time to time. I can't wait to meet everyone!; ▶ Reply to This

Hmm.
Maybe...
Assuming I can wake up early enough and/or I don't have any other engagements, I'll try to make it.; ▶ Reply to This

1048 E. Chestnut St.
Louisville, KY 40204

The only caveat is that Sunday is grass cutting day, so park in the middle of the lot, away from the grassy areas.; ▶ Reply to This
