ilili I was here alone. You can see my laptop there on the table... I like to take a long time to eat while editing photos and listening to music with my earphones on. Every other patron looks at me kind of like a freak. That's quite okay!Luckily, while I was waiting for the food, they let me run around the restaurant with my tripod. This is yet another thing that makes people look at me strangely. They can't imagine why anyone would bring such a monster setup to do such a thing. Most people assume that the restaurant pays me to do it, but the staff knows that is not the case. At one point, the manager came over to talk to me -- not to get mad... just to chat about art and food and life and these sorts of things. And then I ate some amazing food! I had some sort of Lebanese marinated lamb on saffron rice. I need more saffron in my life...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Manhattan Living When I was in New York City, I had the good fortune to spend time with Steve Simon. We had breakfast at this great little French place and then went around to do a bit of shooting. We stopped at his place and went up to the roof. Peering over the side, I saw this and thought it was kinda nice... so I grabbed a quick one.Be sure to visit Steve's site on the link above. He has amazing work and I am sure you will get a kick out of it!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Incredible Apple Store I think it would be cool to be an architect that could design these kind of things. These guys are really talented -- I love seeing their crazy concepts come into being. As opposed to concept cars, which never make it into production, even the most outlandish buildings seem possible.This is one of the Apple Stores in New York City. The entire thing is a dreamy glass cube with a floating white Apple logo right in the middle. The actual store is underground.I have a policy about getting help at the Apple store. When in doubt, talk to the guy with the beard.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Mysteries of the Boudoir For the photo mystery of the week, what exactly is the photo below? Be sure you zoom into the big size and poke around for clues.... I found this gem while in New York during the book launch party there. It's one of those times when I am happy I carry my camera almost everywhere. It's a real pain, especially when I had a major disaster in a tiny robot-bathroom in Tokyo. That is a story I can't share on the blog because it's all too wheels-off. But, in this circumstance, having a camera worked out well.Isn't this the strangest thing in the world? But it's so interesting.... I could not stop looking at it!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
An Amazing Day at the Met On Sunday, I set aside about six hours to spend alone at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Most of you may know by now how I am obsessed with the Impressionists. Don't ever go to a museum with me, because I will bore you for hours on end with strange tidbits. Anyway, the Met has a fantastic collection that kept me busy most of the time... It's rather nice of them to hang on to my paintings for me. One day, when I get some time, I'm going to make a little page here and show some of my favorites.The Man would not let me take a tripod inside, so that was unfortunate. I did manage to do a few hand-held HDRs however... here is one that I have processed thus far.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
New York, New York Is it a sad thing to say that one of the most fun things I did in Vegas was walk around by myself and take photos? Yes, I think that sounds kinda sad. But it's true! What a great place for photography. The lights are insane, the textures are off-the-wall, and everywhere you look is a feast for the eyes. It's also a real challenge to try to get everything just right in the photo. With so many light levels working against one another on your sensor, it takes a bit to get it right.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ice Skating at Rockefeller Center After I went to the top, I visited the bottom of Rockefeller center, where the famous ice-skating rests. The huge lights on both sides of the tower created a cool purple streaming light that exploded out of both sides of the building, making for a very cool effect (at least I think so!).- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A New Photo of Rockefeller center So, a few days ago I received a letter from the Smithsonian saying that I have another one in the running for the 6th Annual Photo Contest! Cool! Two years ago, I had 2 winners in the 4th Annual Photo Contest , and one of those ended up hanging in the Smithsonian castle in DC. I know a few of you out there got to see it on road trips – maybe we can make another pilgrimage this year!. I didn’t win anything last year in the 5th annual contest… It was a bad year for me, what can I say?- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
