We’re having tons of fun so far, with lots of excitement from raccoons and bears to thwarting robberies to throwing cast members into the lake.

Here are a few behind-the-scenes pictures from this week:

Yes, that is as steep as it looks.

Director Brooks Hunter with Irena Angelousta, who is playing Victoria.

Movie-making in a boat!

Our lead, Vanessa Broze, getting taped up for her big kidnapping scene.

And apparently that’s all the middle-of-nowhere-Internet will let me upload for today.

I’ve also been putting more time into building my iStockPhoto portfolio.  Here are some of my recently accepted images.  These are all travel photos taken during my recent trip to Wales.

Taken in Brecon Beacons National Park during a ridiculous detour thanks to our GPS.

This picture is really gross when you zoom in to the full size.  Try it!

Taken in Kidwelly Castle.

Cows heading to be milked.

Taken outside Carreg Cennen Castle.

To date, I have 61 files in my portfolio.  My goal is to have 150 pictures in my portfolio by the end of 2009.  With 16 weeks left in the year, that means I have to have about 6 files accepted per week.

I will be out of town doing stills photography on the movie Babe With A Sword for the next 12 days.  We are filming a horror movie, at night, in the woods, with no cell phone service or internet.  This is a recipe for me becoming scared of my own shadow for the next 2 weeks.  Very exciting!  If I disappear, please assume it was a crazed forest-dweller wearing a scary mask and send help.
