Chase Run @ RIT

Photo by Greg Francis

I had the good fortune to be hired by JP Morgan Chase to shoot one portion of the Chase Corporate Challenge @ RIT today. PS: Note my new Canon EOS1D… lovin’ that camera.

I had a terrific time, and my contact Alan was fantastic to work with. It was great to hear all of the ‘Hi Ken’s’ from clients as they streamed past. Hope you all had a great run. It’s a fantastic event. I told someone it was like if every company held their office BBQ on the same day at the same place… and the money goes to local charities.

Thanks for the photos Greg!

See, I’m not kidding when I teach to get different angles… here’s my shot from that:

and the start of the race.

It was great meeting everyone from the companies I was assigned to as well. (This shot was with the new 16mm zoom I bought with the 1D)

Go Big! Digital displays at the URMC Discovery Ball

For the URMC Discovery Ball, we created several huge displays. This one was about 20 feet wide and was the scrim that then opened at the transition to the dinner hour. It is 16×9 format HD and it included a timelapse of a two hour sunset from the new Wilmot Cancer Center building.

Over about 10 minutes, you could see the sunset through the windows, while people came and went, cars drove by and the lights came on… it was a big hit and guests stood there just watching it. The display then included some of my ‘beauty views’ of the new building from the outside fading toward sunset.

Thanks to Ron Cronk for his help during the 3 hours we worked on this shoot!

This display of our work was 5′ tall prints (thanks to some great help from our local Kodak friends!)

The goal was really to bring the new building to the guests.

Thanks for the fun, creative projects Kim & everyone at URMC & the Cancer Center!
