In honor of today’s holiday I thought I would post a little something green… I’ve spent the day pondering what I wanted to photograph. The vintage shamrock pin I was wearing earlier that was given to my be my great uncle Jerry McCarthy, some of the vintage green buttons I have from my grandmother… Then I remember what I had photographed last night!
Ike broke his collar bone a week ago today. Last night I asked if I could document his injury. He willing obliged (he is over having his photo taken). Injury occurred on the first nice day/evening we’ve had this year. A game of hide & seek in the back yard. One nasty spill landing on his right shoulder. Spike came running in the house with an accurate diagnosis “I think he broke his collar bone, I heard it snap”. Thankfully our neighbor was home. She is a PA who works ER. We were able to get him in a make shift splint and head to the pediatricians office. X-ray’s confirmed Spike’s diagnosis. It is a complete separation.
How this was shot: One strobe light with a 10 degree grid on cyc wall. Modified ghetto style… whole cut in black construction paper.
They put him in a figure of eight splint which he wears under his shirt.
How this was shot: Three strobe lights firing. Key light with a large softbox. Shot on cyc wall.
If you’re enjoying green beer tonight, hope you stay on your feet!
