Let me digress....

I have all the DVD's of the Gingko Awards. The last one that was published. I was taken with how the exhibits are photographed. In the beginning of the DVD there are shots of how the exhibit is put together with Danny Use cruising around on his bicycle watching everything go together. There is a few shots of the crew photographing all the trees for the book to come out at the end of the exhibit. The trees are brought to a station set up with fancy lights and a few stands or tables to place the trees on. The area is a flitter with light bouncing umbrella's and tripods with expensive camera's on them.

My question, why not move the lights around and shoot the exhibit book with photo's of the exhibit. Show the tree the way the artist intended it ti be seen. My peeve, big deal...
