Location Visits- Saturday June 20th

On Saturday Terry and I took another site visit out to our 6 locations so I could  take measurements and he could find the direction that she shot would face so we could determine the best time of day to do the shot.
While we technically didn't need to do this together (although without me Terry might have searched for a while to find that bench!) it gave us another opportunity to go on site together and talk about each shoot even though it was all misty and wet outside.


Here's another view of the switchback on the Jones Falls Trail. We'll be shooting from this angle instead as I  turn the concrete arch into horseshoe falls. Also just like all our sites the foliage has really filled out since April.

I had to take another snapshot of the Tractor Building at Clipper Mill since we'll be working on a different part of the  facade that we originally anticipated.

Most importantly after we finished taking measurements and confirming direction and time of day to shoot Terry came to the studio and we worked out all kinds of details for shooting. For about 30 minutes we sat facing my low tech flow chart talking about each of the six pieces, talking about materials, types of things we'd be doing in the series, time of day and how soon we could shoot, and which shots we'd need assistants for and which we wouldn't. I'll be posting about each individual shot later in the week describing our specific plans.
