The Cake is done

I've posted a few "behind the scenes" photos in my Myspace photo area from a movie I just completed work on, The Cake. I'll post a link for the movie when it's available for viewing on the web.
For The Cake I took on the roles of Director of Photography and Editor. I can honestly say that I gave it my best effort and I'm reasonably satisfied with the results. Of course things could always be better but for my first time as a DP on a dramatic production, it went pretty well.
More later.
Doing, apparently, what DPs do.
Setting up for a shot with a young actor.
Discussing action with Director Desi Stevens
Conferring with Producer Steve Cameron
A slate, with my name as Director of Photography, which was kind of cool.
Samantha Elmer in the role of Margot, party hostess and cake baker.
