It’s more my personality that you should just do the things you need to do and/or want to do NOW, without the need or want... read more ›

How To Back Up Your Photography: The Basics

More than a few aspiring photographers and hobbyist shooters that caught my earlier (very hardcore) post outlining back-up strategies for professional photography, videography, or design studios, have asked me to advise on a more basic solution for backing up their images.

Obituary: Old School Dead at 50

While I'm respectful of the past, it's true, I often rip on the Old School of photography, art, and culture--just read previous posts. Not because it's bad, but simply because it's not now and it's less relevant now than ever before. I just gave an interview to American Photo Magazine editor Miki Johnson (check out the group blog she does with the other editors Jay Defoore and David Schonauer) and I suspect my comments will... read more ›

Quick Tip for Aspiring Shooters: How to Take Better Pictures in the Snow

Since I've just read a whole pile of news about the blizzard in Denver, it occured to me that I often field questions about shooting in a snowy environment.

Therefore, a quick tip: how to get that snow so nice and white, instead of that nasty-ass grey.Simple answer: Over-expose the... read more ›

Gregory Colbert: Amazing Imagery Amidst An Inspiring Idea

Important: Storage and Backup Solutions For Your Photography

I'm taking it as an omen...Earlier in the week, I read a story online about some poor photographer soul who lost his entire photo library when his hard drive failed. Following that, I was chatting with a friend in the /Pro division at Apple Computer -- he was shaking his head about how few photographers (pro and otherwise) seem to "get" the principles of backing up and storing their image libraries.So with that in mind,... read more ›
