One 5 acre complex of abandoned apartment buildings + fire departments from all around San Diego = one hell of a way to start 2012. P2 is currently involved in a multiple day aerial and ground shoot documenting ‘practice burns’. It’s smoky, wet, hot, doesn’t smell too good, and hey…it’s way cool.

Happy New Year…

More portraits from P2. This one on a blustery day in Beaumont, CA. We lucked out with the wind, as it was a stand-in for the giant wind machine that we didn’t rent.

In between shooting solar panels, we also photograph the occasional portrait. This one was shot for Teradata Magazine. They gave the best instructions a photographer could want…”Do something creative.”

Mammoth, CA. Great place to install some solar. Even greater place to shoot some solar. Sometimes waiting around for the right light is a joy. That, and the water in Mammoth is hands down the best tasting municipal water anywhere.

And so the tale continues…P2 has now left the deserts of Dallas for the Sierras of Mammoth, CA. We are back on the job, shooting solar. The fossilized Monte Cristo sandwich has been left behind in Lodi (although Jon continues to consume a large amount of Gruyere). The earth movers and hard hats have all gone back to where they live, but just in case you can’t get enough of our work, here’s a photo from that same marketing campaign…this time in Palm Springs.

P2 is seeking their fame and fortune in Dallas this week with a bout of marketing madness at our annual trade show. Thousands of potential customers under one roof! But this photo has nothing to do with that of course. It was shot in Southern California amid scrub and dirt and heat and earth movers and diesel fumes and hardhats and a dessicated Monte Cristo sandwich. Therein lies a tale…

Utilitizing Good Design

P2 was recently hired to travel around the southwest photographing electrical substations. One of our favorites is really a sub-substation, completely underground. Below this whimsical little park is a matrix of metal and wire constantly transforming electricity to a voltage we can use in our residential areas. Utility and good design in one.
