Did a tight tracing of Schieffelin Hall this morning to send to my color guy in Cal. Want to see what the color palette is going to be for the O.K. Project. I want it to be Extremely O.K. but I'll settle for Just O.K. Examples to follow.

 

Speaking of Tombstone, here's a sneak peek at the next issue, which is at the printer even as you read this:

 

Power went out last night right in the middle of watching the Lawman. I was shooting art reference off the TV when it went down. Man, that John Russell has a great face. So rugged. Little bit of Burt Lancaster with a pinch of Clark Gable thrown in.

 

Turns out a transformer blew up across the creek, over by Cal and John's casita. Went over there and sat in the dark in their kitchen and had a glass of wine. Came home around nine. Power came back on at ten.

 

"I never knew a lawman who got old."

—John Russell, as "Lawman"

Funny how a glass of wine makes anything better. After the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, my father-in-law poured himself a glass of wine and sat on the front porch to watch the neighborhood deal with the chaos. He'd retro-fitted his little house in Hollister, CA, so well that the only thing that broke was a wine glass. Meanwhile, houses were slipping off their foundations all over the place.

I remember doing lighting for TV shows in the 70's. Boy we used so much light to get a good Image that On Air Talent would suffer. The guy's that had it bad were the newsteam having to endure 30 minutes of pure Light Hell. Love the lighting on the " Lawman" Three point lighting, Key, Fill and Backlight. Light Instruments used to weigh a ton as well. Studio lighting was my forte. Boy I sure do miss the 70's, it was a great time for Television Productions!

Thanks Daniel. I was wondering about the lighting as I was studying these photos. I'll share another one when I get to the office this morning. Great lighting.
