Paramore

posted in Music, Photography, Uncategorized, blog Thursday, June 10, 2010

Last weekend was KROQ WEENIE ROAST 2010!  It was one of my favorite events this past year.  Maybe it was the furry convention, the prom, great friends, running into T_BING or maybe it was just catching Hayley spit the biggest loogie ever.  Now I played baseball for 16 years…so i’ve seen my share of loogs.  Let’s just say she could’ve put them all to shame! Anyways, in the end it was a combination of everything this past weekend that made it so memorable.  Blessed to feel at home with KROQ and their incredible/hardworking staff.  They have been one of my favorite clients, hands down.

Paramore is excellent live.  So much energy and fun.  Here are my favorite from the set.  Btw, Jeremy, good seeing the surprised look when you saw me!
Will be posting more soon of other bands from Weenie Roast.

Coachella 2010

posted in Music, Photography, Uncategorized, blog Tuesday, May 04, 2010

A couple weeks back, I happily attended Coachella 2010.  It was absolutely incredible, to say the least.  There were so many incredible acts, I wish I could’ve caught more shows. I can never remember shooting so much in such a short period of time.  I shot around 75gigs of photos in 3 days. Only getting 3 songs per band, and battling tons of other photographers in each pit.  Sifting through thousands and thousands of images, below are a few of my favorite…Jay-Z photos not included in this post.

Loveline Promos w/SLASH & Steven Adler

posted in Lighting, Photography, Uncategorized, blog Thursday, April 22, 2010

A couple weeks ago Loveline decided to make PsychoMike a regular for the show.  Most of Los Angeleanos have probably heard him on the Kevin and Bean show over at KROQ.  PsychoMike is a man of many impressions and seriously one of the funniest guys I have ever met. When he pulls out his Manny Ramirez(Los Angeles Dodgers) impression I about lose it every time. I was fortunate enough to get asked to come shoot the new promotional material for the show.  It was good seeing Dr. Drew again, he had very nice words about the previous photos I had taken.

The shoot was simple.  Tommy and I dressed the room with white sheet paper and shot away.  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

KROQ Round 1 – “On Air”

posted in Uncategorized Friday, February 19, 2010

Enter to view full post.

Recently I was asked to shoot a project for World Famous, 106.7 KROQ here in Los Angeles.  They wanted new photos of 15+ Joqs at the station.  Supposedly the last studio photos of them had been taken over 5 years ago.  I haven’t had a straight photo project in a while so I am very grateful for the opportunity.  I had listened to the station plenty, so I was so excited to get up there and meet all those voices I had gotten familiar with.

I spent a couple lengthy/crazy/incredible days up at KROQ shooting .  I hung out and chatted with Chuck, Kat, Sluggo, Alex, Katie, Nicole, Dave, Eddie….and the list keeps going….and going. By the end of the day my stomach was hurting from laughing.  I learned interesting things about squids, eating intestines, pool drains, alaska, and some other things that would make absolutely no sense if I mentioned on here…This job has been one of the funnest, hands down.  I have never met so many great personalities, esp working at the same place.  I enjoyed talking and hanging with every single person I met.  Thanks again guys for putting up with me and smiling bright for the camera!

I will post more shoots soon.  On white studio shots, individual photo shoots, loveline photos, polaroids, and The Morning Show group photos.  Many things coming so keep checking back.

Here are all the on air shots in order from the morning through evening.

Once again THANK YOU KROQ.  You have been an extreme pleasure to work for.  Looking forward to more shoots in the future.

Cale Glendening

  • Mandy: My mom and I used to listen to Kevin and Bean pretty much every morning. It's so weird actually seeing pictures of them, it's like when your favorite book is turned into a movie and it's not quite how you imagined it. That story has nothing to do with the fact that you did an incredible job, once again. That is, minus the fact that there aren't any pictures of Bean! Hope you're doing well! Definitely glad you're posting again! :) (02.19.2010 07:56pm)
  • cale: Yeah their show is ridiculous. I am always cracking up at some point during the show. Bean doesn't live in California. He broadcasts from Seattle! I have some photos of Bean though, coming soon! (02.22.2010 03:52pm)

Guam/Hawaii

posted in Photography, Travel, Uncategorized, blog Thursday, February 18, 2010

Enter to view full post.

Let me first briefly explain what these tower jobs are.  I always get asked, “Tower jobs? What?”  I would love to simply clear it up for everyone who has been asking.  It starts back when I was living in Muskogee, Oklahoma.  A man named Gary owned a local photo/print shop as well as President to a company called “Tower Inspection.”  I printed all my work at his shop so we quickly became aquatinted.  He enjoyed my work so he asked if I would be interested in documenting projects here and there that TI was involved with.  Initially, I thought….”What a random job.”  However I came to soon fall in love with it.  I had to get tower certified so I could climb these towers and photograph the employees on and around the towers.  I have mixed emotions about heights.  Sometimes it freaks me out, where as others I am absolutely loving it.  I only went on my first roller-coaster ride in 15 years, this past year, when I was succumbed to peer pressure from the great dudes in Relient K.  I even got nervous when I did my tower climb test.  The tower was only like 50ft.  It is weird just hanging off and letting the wind move you, nothing below your feet.

In Guam we stayed at the OKA towers, which had an amazing view all the way around.  The balcony wrapped halfway around the 14th floor.  It was unbelievable.  Some pics of the building.

Anyways, here are some photos from Hawaii and Guam.  The locations were, again, absolutely gorgeous.  The tower sites are always in beautiful places around the world.  No photos of the towers yet, however here are some random photos from the trip.  Wish the internet could do panoramics some justice.  Each one is MASSIVE.  Can’t wait to print some of them off.

Relient K Teasers

Enter to view full post.

These are some short 30 second teasers I did for the Relient K’s new album/documentary.  I just found out this past week they were actually posted!

I had such an incredible time spending over a month with those guys.  These outtakes are all REAL.  None of them were staged, and I didn’t tell them to say anything they say or mess up.  This all happened during interviews.  There will be several minutes of more outtake footage on the documentary.  Still waiting for that baby to release.  No idea at this point when it will.  Enjoy!

Over Christmas break, I went out and did a quick small shoot of my great friend and very talented musician Brett Baggett.  He needed a few promo pics for his new project, so I was very happy to take them.  Brett is an intelligent young talent from Oklahoma who I have had the honor of knowing since 04.  Brett and his wife are two of my favorite people in the world.

We were out about 11am, which isn’t the best time to shoot, but it was very overcast so that was perfect.  It was about 20 degrees with a windchill of 10.  My fingers were the first thing to go.  Its the worst setting up gear and touching steel when your hands are frozen!  This was a simple set up. I only used an octabox and 10 degree honeycomb.  Used my new 16-35mm 2.8L.  I’m in love with the lens.

Interesting story about the shoot.    In the middle of our freezing cold shoot, we heard about 15 gun shots.  These shots were very loud hinting the shooting was not far from us.  Within minutes squad car after squad car made a perimeter around the block.  It had take place on the next street over!  Supposedly there was a gunman in his house just firing outside.  Thankfully no one was injured.  Always interesting times in Muskogee, Ok USA.

Hope everyone is doing well.

My First Film

posted in Uncategorized, blog, film Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Enter to view full post.

The last month has been quite the interesting month.  I have never had so much positivity and negativity happen so close together.  I have been in LA all of 12 hours of the past month.  After doing some work for Demon Hunter, I flew to  LA for half a day.  Then flew to Houston  for a Red Bull shoot with Jered Scott.  From there I went back to Seattle for a few days before flying straight to Oklahoma to shoot my current project.

Since last Sunday, Nov 8th, I (along with several others) have filmed non stop.  However we stayed on schedule and got everything done before all the actors and crew flew back to their homes and next jobs.   It was exhausting but it was the most productive shooting I have done and we finished on time.  It was one of the best weeks I have had.  Here are some production stills taken by my great friend and photographer Lane Moss.  The project is still under wraps right now.  I will tell you more as it comes along.  I again want to thank all the actors, crew, and extra’s and everyone who helped make this film happen. You all shined radiantly and I know the final film is going to benefit from your hard work.

I know it was a tough week and all….there was the helicopter, nice cars, car on fire, wine cellar hangs, roller blading busted takes, constant sing alongs, shooting machine guns…but I promise all that “unfun” work is going to pay off.

I can’t even imagine what it’d be like on a Hollywood Movie set. Thanks everyone.  More updates and photos soon!

Despite the worst filming conditions I have ever engaged in, I am thankful I got some solid footage out of it.  Coloring isn’t my strongest suit so I passed it along to my good friend Derek.  Mad talented.  Enjoy.

  • Antoine: All has been said already and all is true. This is just amazing. Not only to have done this project but to have done it in such a beautiful manner. This is the best testimony one can make to these people who are most often disregarded and considered "rebels" for the state. Usually because they oppose the exploitation of the area they live in, love and respect. Not only you are mad talented but you seed love (this refers also to your story of the whole project)! Thanks. (10.12.2009 04:42am)

  • cale: Nick - Oh just an internship at Pixar? Is that it? Lol if you could get that, it would be so awesome!!! Keep me informed. (10.12.2009 09:35pm)
  • Demi: Simply Breath-taking Cale! I even teared up a bit... you captured these people's way of life in 4 minutes without a word! And the colors and detail are so captivating! You are truly talented! You have been blessed! (10.16.2009 12:26pm)
  • Tyler C: Dude nice work (10.21.2009 01:49pm)
  • Jenna Julianne: AWESOME work! It's extremely intriguing right from the start. (Neccessity) The camera angles put me right in the picture and I feel alive in the film. Your ultra steady (good job!) and slow camera movements creates an intensifying suspition with every second (fo sho)!! Your video covers all the facits of video recording. I/the viewer it taken to their world through your...inspired actions and ideas to capture a sacred part of life!! Aaammmmazing!! Bravo!!! sfwfklsd!!! How exciting :D (12.01.2009 12:40pm)
  • cale: Jenna - THank you so much Jenna! Very nice things of you to say. I count down the days until I can go for another visit. (12.15.2009 07:55pm)

Tricking Nicole

posted in Lighting, Photography, Uncategorized, blog Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Enter to view full post.

After months of denial, my friend Nicole finally agreed to let me take some photos of her.  Well actually, it was black mail.  She needed a couple quick head shots, so I agreed.  After taking a few I said, “you won’t be getting these until I can do an actual photo shoot with you.”  My line was followed by a smile induced by realization.  She had been tricked and she knew it.  Too make it easy I set up in her living room.  I moved the furniture around including the glass coffee table so I could get that nice little reflection.  Sorry fellas but she is taken, so don’t ask.

I have that bug to start taking more and more photos.

Have you smiled today?
Cale Glendening

  • Jaime Vedres: I love how a studio isn't required. Make a living room your studio. Love the lighting, nice warm tones, and reflection on the second shot. (09.29.2009 12:22pm)
  • Aaron: Great job Cale. I need to come to LA for a photo shoot to feed your bug. (09.29.2009 12:25pm)
  • Michelle: why havent we done anything jerk? I dont even have a picture of you and i. (09.29.2009 12:25pm)
  • cale: MICHELLE - I have no idea. We talk about it all the time, but never do it. It is funny once I think about it. (09.29.2009 12:27pm)
  • cale: Aaron - Thanks man, bring yourself. (09.29.2009 12:27pm)
  • cale: Jaime - Yeah that's what I enjoy doing man. Utilizing everyday places is something people don't take advantage of enough. This was my first attempt at some cross processing. Adding more greens and reds to warm it up, but was careful about overdoing it. (09.29.2009 12:30pm)
  • Michelle: Well lets get it done before you up and leave me. We've talked about it before we had even met. (09.29.2009 01:23pm)
  • Misty: She is freaking beautiful, I bet you were stoked to take some photos of her! These are really good... and that reflection reminds me of those old TSS photos you took! (I remember really really random things.) Great job as always! (09.29.2009 04:03pm)
  • stikman: She looks like Megan Fox in the first pic, most people will say that is a good thing. NICE WORK craig www.craigglaspell.com (09.29.2009 04:27pm)
  • LAUREN: THAT'S MY SEESTEERRRR!! :) she's retarted. Cale, she text me freaking out. OMG he put pics on his website! it's crazy she can't recognize how beautiful she is...(P.S. your photography skills are beautiful too ;p ha ha) (09.30.2009 11:58pm)
  • Nick D.: I'm loving that second pic. (10.01.2009 01:06pm)
  • cale: Craig - Hahaha yeah I think that she might take that as a compliment. Maybe! Glad you like em man. (10.05.2009 10:05pm)
  • cale: Lauren - Thank you very much. Yeah your sister is a bit nuts. (10.05.2009 10:06pm)
  • cale: Nick - Thanks a lot man. I cheated the table so you could see more reflection. (10.05.2009 10:06pm)
  • Jenna Julianne: Awesome artwork! (11.30.2009 09:09pm)
