Description Model:

I've had this idea in mind for awhile, and after talking to Josh about what I had imagined, he showed me the perfect place we could have the shoot. He was a wonderful model for juggling these huge light bulbs, I don't know how he did it. We were standing directly under this huge transmission tower, and you could hear the electric currents pulsing through the cables. It was exciting, and the pictures turned out better than I envisioned.

Light bulbs and electric lines are images that pass through my mind on a daily basis... There's no compliment deserving of this. I'll just keep staring in awe.

I've been thinking about taking pictures next to these power lines too. But it's not this nice where they are.
Great composition!

I love this! Mostly because seeing someone juggle light-bulbs underneath a path of steel power lines isn't something you'd normally expect to see. Awesome work. The composition is rather nice as well.

Oh, I see what you're saying! That would be a great diptych, maybe I'll put them side by side sometime! Thanks.
