FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera on the way!

After almost 9 months of waiting for the latest in 3D digital camera technology, my wait is about over. The brand-new FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera from FUJI will soon join my collection of stereo 3-D cameras and surely relegate them to the back of my camera storage cabinets. Cameras in my collection like the vintage Russian Sputnik, the LOMO 3D, my (4)KODAK Stereo cameras, and my collection of over a dozen Stereo Realist cameras will finally get a rest as my new FUJI 3D joins my stables.

The FUJI FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera is the first digital 3D camera manufactured by a major camera manufacturer, ever - so I HAD to have one. In addition to the incredible still images I've seen produced by the the new W1, it'll also record video footage in 3D.

I've got several 3D books greenlighted and have just been waiting for delivery of the FUJI W1 3D Camera to start shooting and editing.

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta www.BalloonFiesta.com opens this coming weekend, October 3rd and I hope to be on the field with my new FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera for the Mass Ascension on opening day.

The new FUJI FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera has the capability to display 3D images and 3D video WITHOUT needing any special glasses. But, you'll need to get your red/blue glasses ready and watch this blog site for anaglyph versions of 3D photos from the 2009 Balloon Fiesta.

I'll also be using the FUJI FinePix REAL 3D W1 Digital Camera in my work with Route 66 Photography and offering 3D photography for celebrity, real estate, product, and special event photography.

Thanks again to the folks at FUJI for giving us 3D capability in a digital format!

Best,

Steve Snowden

Another Client Success Story!

We got a call from Sasha's Mom, Leslie the other day letting us know that 9 year-old Sasha WON First Place in the Photogenic Catagory at America's US Miss Pageant in St. Louis last weekend. Sasah is a recent headshot client of ours and exclusively used the photos we made for her portfolio presentation for the competition. Here's a photo of Sasha (courtesy of Leslie Butcher) immediately after the announcment in St. Louis last weekend.

One of the headshots she used in her competition portfolio is shown below in this earlier blog posting.

Recent Advertising - Commercial Photography for Weck's Restaurant

The storyboard / layout for the new Weck's advertisment is now complete, incorporating some of my recent commercial photography. Route 66 Photography was contacted by Weck's Restaurants to photograph some delicious menu items for their current and upcoming advertising campaigns.

We photographed their incredible pancakes, papas, and omelettes for upcoming ads for Red Plum and elsewhere.

The creative design and layout was done by Albuquerque's Myriah Landolfi. She's dependable and full of fresh ideas.

Here's the ad that will be appearing in Red Plum.

Be watching for the Weck's advertising and coupons, but you don't have to wait for that. Check out any of their Albuquerque locations for an incredible breakfast or lunch.
Don't forget to tip your wait staff!
Cheers,
Steve

Photo Opportunities Were Everywhere

Back in Albuquerque now and beginning the photo editing process. So many contacts in the U.K. and I'm excited to edit & distribute their photos.

Photo opportunities were all around on our trip to England. The essence of Great Britain all came together quite serendipiously one sunny afternoon in this candid street photo of Anne as she strolled back to work after lunch; a traditional red double decker bus, a London taxi, and Victorian buildings in the background.

I wish we could have made time to do a proper headshot session that day. Perhaps on my next visit -

Cheers,

Steve

Route 66 Photography Visits England

We visited London and Liverpool last month and returned with over 4,000 digital images to review and sort. We met and had a great (East) Indian dinner with long time friend Tony Newman and his two sons, Barnaby and Daniel. We photographed several lovely models in Liverpool and took photos and headshots of many of the wonderful people we met as we traversed the country. Also photographed the iconic & abandoned Battersea Power Station, which is probably best known as the building featured on the cover of the Pink Floyd LP/CD, Animals. I'll be posting many headshots and Battersea images as the weeks go by.



And, what would a trip to London be without a visit to Harrods Department Store?!

We're back in town and scheduling Headshot appointments now for July. The SAG contract dispute has apparently been settled so the movie and TV productions will be back in full swing soon. Now is a great time to get started so you'll be ready when the casting calls begin.

Visit our website at www.Route66Photography.com or give us a call at 505.401.6358.
