The Weekly Phlogging

Jenna poses inside the blade of a windturbine at Campo Ridge Wind Farm east of San Diego (Corporate Photographer P2 Photography).

San Diego corporate photographer P2 Photography had a two-martini lunch at the studio this week with performer David Deeble.

Recently San Diego corporate photographer P2 Photography went on a photo safari in the wild back alleys of Oceanside, California. Many amazing and terrifying sights were seen: the albino garbage truck that charged our jeep, packs of roaming skateboarders and this huge wild cat which snuck up on us while we were shooting some flowers. While Jon hid under the jeep, Jenna courageously stood beside it and took the lower frame (above) as the sun went down.

San Diego corporate photographer P2 Photography was recently featured with a write up and this cover shot in ASMP San Diego’s newsletter. To read the full article, please CLICK HERE. (it may take a few seconds to load).

San Diego corporate photographer P2 Photography went to the fair awhile back. Jon tried his hand at pitching softballs into an apple crate. He might as well have thrown dollars into a river. Above are some of the fine midway prizes he did not win. Later he ate a battered deep fried snickers bar and rode on the zipper. Lost that one too.

Ah yes, this is San Diego Corporate Photographer P2 Photography bringing you another edition of The Weekly Phlogging. Today we tackle a facility full of large reflective stuff. Astro Pak handles cleaning and maintenance for the biopharmaceutical industry. It’s not easy for them to get their customers’ equipment so sterile and shiny, nor is it easy to photograph shiny stuff (thank goodness for all those months in school spent learning to shoot silverware and Jon’s head). We took every light, sheet, reflector, laser and umbrella with us and spent much time gazing into stainless steel panels looking for reflections. What you see here is a happy Hazmat Lady about to start work in the Clean Room and a silvery foreign object called the ’skid’ that was found outside Roswell, NM. Don’t ask us what it does.

Recently San Diego Corporate Photographer P2 Photography participated in an underwater photography workshop with the legendary Al Bruton. Jenna spent 3 hours learning to use scuba gear and then sat at the bottom of the pool photographing this model. All was well until she slammed the back of her head against her tank valve resulting in a fist sized lump at the base of her skull which generated the insight for her to produce these images. It was a great experience that resulted in new diving skills and a terrible headache.

So…there’s this crazy band called The Tailchasers here in San Diego. They rock, they roll, they play at The Blarney Stone once a month or so and they are excellent at providing a great night on the town. San Diego corporate photographers P2 Photography photographed The Tailchasers at one of their latest gigs. They gave us carte blanche with our creativity, resulting in one of many photos like this portrait of the keyboard player, Mike Stone.

August in Death Valley. Temperatures reaching 120 degrees by 10am. As the sun rises, Jenna stands swaying in the breeze on a 50 foot lift. Below, the largest privately owned solar facility in the country spreads out over 4 acres. Vultures circle just overhead. A dust storm twists in the distance. Coyotes range across the golf course, stopping unabashedly to eat fallen dates from the palms lining the edge of the grounds. San Diego Corporate Photographer P2 Photography spent 3 days in this stark and beautiful setting, shooting for Xanterra Parks and Resorts and SPG Solar. Located at Furnace Creek Inn in Death Valley National Park, the area is definitely worth a sightseeing trip, although we recommend you wait until winter, when the daytime temperature becomes downright cool at 80 degrees or so.
