This is one of the coolest looking snails I have ever seen in person. Lighting here was with assistance from Tina Connolly and snail wrangling by Sarah Tolbert. The photos of this little guy were a group effort. It was a lot of fun. I should always bring a couple of assistants with me on my photo shoots.
Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but you can call me Jeremy. I am a fantasy and science fiction writer, photographer, and web designer living in Northern Colorado. I am currently starting a new job and cannot take freelance work at this time. Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments.

Hi Folks. After a ton of work on the part of myself, Sarah, and my sound engineer and good friend Nate Periat, we’ve finished and posted our first Dr. Roundbottom Field Sounds podcast. It’s only 5 minutes long, so don’t hesitate to just go to the site and hit play. Please let me know what [...]

see clockpunk.com for information. Strobist Info: Three lights! FInally got a three light setup going. One FL-36 bounced on an umbrella pointing at the background. A speedlight into a softbox camera right, up close to the foreground figure (rear figure is the same person, added from a different exposure). Finally, a Vivitar on 1/4th about 10 feet back extreme camera left as a fill.
