I met Nick Zadrozny, a long time friend, today for lunch and to grab a few quick promo shots for his business.  We both met as web developers years ago and though I have strayed a bit more into design and consulting Nick is still melting minds with his coding ways.

Lunch was at the delicious Pokéz and we proceeded to wander around looking for an optimal place to shoot. We settled on a fine spot right on the trolly tracks where we had no chance of a car creaming us and we could see for hundreds of yards on the trolly track so we figured we were safe.  We were just about done when this Transportation Authority comes flying up with his lights on and nearly screeches to a stop next to our gear.  He hops out of the car and meant business.  Little did he know that we were web developer geeks and didn’t even know we were up to no good  Seriously, if you look closely at the picture you can see some body roll in the car, this guy was really flying!

He inquired (to put it nicely) about our permit to shoot on the tracks and we informed him that we had no idea we were supposed to have one.  He snakily instructed us on the protocol to obtain one for next time.  Once he was done taking our licence info down he had loosened up a bit.  I handed him a card letting him know where to get his next family pictures.  It was almost too ridiculous to describe.

We walked back to the cars laughing about it to find a ticket on Nicks windshield.  So yeah, we live on the edge.  Web developers gone WILD!

The lighting was attained using a single Yongnuo YN460 with a shoot through umbrella on full power and the fabulous Sun as a hair light
