The Arabella Project

by Chris Tucker 2 Comments

The Arabella Project

I've had a great relationship with the American Sailing Association for a long time. First, as a sailing club owner, whose sailing school taught their curriculum, introducing countless numbers of people to the sport. Then, as an internet marketing consultant, where we propelled them from relative obscurity into the limelight. Now, for more than a year, I have been a contract photographer for them, supplying images to use in their social media outreach. A few years ago, the ASA contracted with the owner of the Arabella sailing yacht to offer experiences in New England and the BVI. I jumped at the chance to get a single berth on her in the summer of 2015 to relive my childhood sailing memories. Arabella was to sail the cruising grounds my grandfather and I did through the New England islands many times in my youth. I got hooked badly by this girl, Arabella. As luck would have it, the ASA needed an onboard liaison for two of their trips in the winter of 2016 to that other place I Continue Reading

Always Something!

Always Something!

Oh how I wished I had kept a journal through all the years. But I didn't. Now, I sort of do; here. Part of my challenge for as long as I can remember is there just isn't enough time in the day. But when I do it and see how little time its' part takes... I wish I had. Instead, if you recall, last year I tried to promote a photo calendar on Kickstarter. It fell short by just a half a dozen sales or so. Which led me to believe that I could sell photo art calendars online here. In fact, I  used to create a calendar for my SailTime sailing club for a number of years. So, I already had the source for getting the manufacturing part done. I set about creating an initial collection of four calendar themes. Each theme has 13 photos in it. That means, all together, I had to choose 52 photos to represent. This season, you can choose from Cuba, San Diego, Coastal Landscapes and Nautical. It's a great way to enjoy original art, in a subject you are attracted to, casually! You can customize Continue Reading

Faces of Cuba Documentary Trailer

Faces of Cuba Documentary Trailer

When I went to Cuba recently, I took over 5000 still photos! In between I shot time lapse and video too. Not as much as I wished but a decent variety. As I spent my time there, talking with the people and shooting more street photography than I ever had before, it struck me. I wanted to turn some of my still images into a portion of the documentary and frame the entire story around "Faces of Cuba." One night, while processing the images, I came up with an idea for one way to present the portrait type photos of the people of Cuba. I mounted them on boards and then set up a studio shoot where I dropped them and filmed the drop. I practiced for two weekends and am pretty happy with the test. I will need more control when I do it again. But now I know what i did wrong! One of the best ways I have found to incentivize myself to get things done is to publicly proclaim my goal. In this case, Ive created a trailer for my upcoming documentary and specifically state that it is "coming Continue Reading

Faces of Cuba

Faces of Cuba

Last month I treated myself to a week of total photography immersion in Cuba! I spin a lot of plates on a daily basis with the business side of life tugging constantly at my creative side. To do nothing but take pictures in the morning, noon and night was such a release and very fulfilling. Continue Reading
