This years 2012 model year photography shoot for Yamaha Snowmobiles was a success!!! Somewhat sleepy compared to last year. No fires. No drama. Just a record amount of snow and some good times. Please do not ask me to send pictures or post them. I signed a contract with Yamaha and can not “kiss and...
Yearly Archives: 2010
University of Idaho
In September and October 2010 I took pictures for the University of Idaho through Davies Moore in Boise. During the last photography shoot I was either a head of or following a film production produced by Davies Moore via North by Northwest Productions. We both used the same talent (models), but never at the same...
More Artichoke Pictures…
I generally really like artichokes, but not the ones I grew in my garden this year. Idaho Falls is not considered the “Artichoke Capital of the World” like Castroville, California, though. In August my wife and I cooked a couple and they were very woody without much meat and taste. Even the hearts were woody. After...
Every employee counts. Live United.
Today I photographed Jeff Mousseau, President and General Manager of Bechtel BWXT Idaho (AMWTP). I asked what the picture was for and the public relations person, Sunny Katseanes, told me it was for a local United Way promotional poster. The kicker, they needed the picture ASAP because it needed to go to the printer. The posters...
Flowering Artichoke
It is suppose to freeze tonight. Ran out to the garden to pick tomatoes and saw our artichokes were starting to flower. Went inside and got my Nikon D3S, a 105mm macro lens, a Nikon SB-900 speedlight, a SU-800 commander to control the flash and a tripod. Fun stuff!
INL Advertising Campaign
Finally a new update! Completed an advertising campaign with Davies Moore out of Boise in August for the Idaho National Laboratory. Check it out here. Ernie Monroe, a veteran in the advertising industry, was the art director. The photography for this shoot was produced in less than two days. Something I call the shotgun approach. Roughly...
VIDEO KILLED THE STILL PHOTOGRAPHER…
Hell no, but I love that 1980s hit song by the Buggles. As a contract photographer for the Department of Energy and the Idaho National Laboratory I am going to start providing video services. I am diving in head first. Sink or swim. At least I’ll have an editor and producer (Leslie Dal Lago and...
McCALL GOT STITCHES!
On Tuesday, January 26, 2010, our day care provider called me at 11:15 am. Kortny and I had a lunch date and it seems every time we have something planned day care calls. I looked at the caller I.D. and thought to myself, “Uh oh, one of the kids has the stomach flu.” It was...
CAMERA EQUIPMENT ORDERED!
In late December 2009 I ordered an Apple iMac 27″ computer to help me get back into business. Since that time I have been working diligently to get all my camera equipment replaced. I finally have everything ordered. What a relief! I can’t wait to receive everything, including the rest of my computer gear I...
ENR PHOTO CONTEST…
Althought 2009 in general was a terrible year for Kort Duce Photography (fire in December 2009)… I did manage to place in the 2009 Photo Contest put on by Engineering News-Record. You can view my image here. My image, submitted by Kelly Rhodes at CWI (INL sub-contractor), was one of 30 images picked out of...
