photography for doers and dreamers
FOLLOW YOUR PASSION. A close second is… JUST BE YOU. Among all the seminars, workshops and rockstar photographer presentations and events at WPPI 2010 in Las Vegas, the overriding messages I heard were the ones above. Yes, lighting, technical skills, framing, composing, marketing, and social media are all important pieces of the puzzle. But the [...]
Where do I begin? Today was filled with such different events and people, it’s hard to even describe. So, I’ll just give you the brief highlights and fill you in on more details next week when I’ve returned home and processed it all. ShowIt Sites meetup led by David Jay with guest speakers Dane Sanders [...]
What a day! I got to see and listen to Jay Maisel live. I seriously felt like I was sitting in the presence of photography greatness. I mean, I just discovered his work and quoted him in a post about carrying your camera with you everywhere you go. And now, just a few weeks later, [...]
I’m running out the door realizing I won’t land in Vegas in time to get today’s post up… but don’t worry, I’ve already fulfilled all the daily requirements. I shot some images early this morning, read page 99 in the camera manual and looked at images in Rangefinder Magazine. Tomorrow starts bright and early with [...]
That’s right, middle school. You remember those years and your teachers, even if you pretend to have selective amnesia. You do know I taught junior high, or middle school as some call it, for almost five years, right? Me + 36 teenagers + 5 years – Sleep = More life lessons than you can imagine [...]
Remember that famous line in “Finding Nemo.” Dorie is trying to tell Marlin that it’s time to let go of the whale, but we all really know it’s about so much more than the whale. It’s about his whole life, his need for control, his fear of the future. Today my image is about letting [...]
If you asked me what I did today, that’s what I would tell you. I created a short film. Or at least was an integral part of the creation. I came up with the concept, set up the background, starred in it, and then left the editing to the experts. The result? A short film [...]
I did something different. After reviewing the 545 images from the French Quarter Photowalk with Scott Bourne, I decided to tell a story with the images. Not just a slideshow of pretty pictures, but something that meant something, if only to me. So I ask you to sit back and watch this show…what does it [...]
One of the first things I noticed about The Big Easy is the volume. Seems everywhere you go, there’s noise. Whether live musicians on the street, Saints fans celebrating victory, or party people on Bourbon Street, seems there is something going on everywhere you look. Tonight was the launch of PartnerCon and it started off [...]
Some days are all about just doing the work. Whatever it takes to get things done, that’s what has to happen. This whole week has been like that. “Git ‘er done,” as one of our wedding clients likes to say. Point being that the excitement and energy for anything other than the work becomes secondary. [...]
