Geoff (not Jeff)
I met a photographer last night while shooting a house show for 16 Blocks’ upcoming issue. His name was Geoff (didn’t give his last) and he was traveling with Emotron and Mose Giganticus. Geoff intrigued me because of the Leica M8 and Sunpak Panel Flashes he had, not a setup you see everyday (especially in Blacksburg). He also shot from the hip, not once looking through the view finder, flash in one hand, camera in the other.
I talked to him pretty briefly and he told me to check out his stuff here. Pretty cool, I’ve always really liked the feel of the Leica Rangefinder images.

So what’s the appeal of the flat-panel flash? I’ve not seen those before. It looks like it’s a little underpowered, though.
Also, the image of the anti-spam word isn’t working. I had to listen to it to make this work.

It’s like having a little soft-box.

I like the flash effect on his pictures. I don’t think I had realized how used I was to having the light source coincide with the location of the camera. By decoupling them, the images are much more interesting.
