Review of 2007 PDN Photo Annual Party

It's one thing that posting from the road is hard enough. It's entirely another thing that this entry might read dangerously like a gossip column (gasp!) if I'm not careful. Regardless, I've just woke and am remembering how much darn fun I had at the PDN party last night.I'm grateful to the many whose paths I crossed last night, readers, friends, other bloggers alike. Rarely are many of us in the same state let alone... read more ›

2007 PDN Magazine Photo Annual

If you care about photography and you haven't checked out the hot-off-the-press 2007 PDN Photo Annual, you really should. There's some nice stuff in there you'd expect from some return honorees (Andy Anderson, Tim Flach, Vincent Laforet etc) but some really interesting stuff from some new names (Christine Gatti - that's commitment!, many others). There look to be some really strong Photo Books this year too (powerful Chuck Close, Scott Peterman, Peter Steinhauer). And, while... read more ›

Get Your Limited Edition Hipster Tshirt Now

Coolest T-shirts ever! Okay that's a stretch, but we've got something sort of fun going on. If you haven't poked around here deep enough to see our limited edition promo T-shirts, now is your time. Inspired loosely by some random pictures I've taken, each shirt is just screened line art - and a couple shirts even sport some subtle glitter-y ink. We produced 4 shirts in editions of 100 each, and when each design is... read more ›

Chase Jarvis FRAMES: Hasselblad Masters

Here’s an interesting peek at the underbelly of professional photography--the gems and the warts, the outtakes, the volume, the repetition, light tests, blown angles, and the hero shots all wound together in one tight little ball. This is an uncut series of 2000 still photographs, stitched together and put to music, featuring every image I shot during a 5-day period for personal work, my portfolio, AND to promote the 2007 Hasselblad Masters (a gold star... read more ›

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Story

Saturday, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper (aka the Seattle P.I.) filled the cover of it's Life and Arts section plus an inside page, with--low and behold--a lifestyle feature about yours truly. PI Journalist, Kristin Dizon, and photographer, Scott Ecklund, collaborated on the piece. Dizon -a talented writer- was waaaay thorough, focusing on the present, but also unearthing things I did way back (gasp!)in freakin' high school. Many parts are spot on, other parts over-simplified, and some... read more ›

Words of Wisdom from Avedon – And Why I Save Every Picture

Occasionally, when the timing works, people from my staff head off to attend or lead Photoshop or digital asset classes. This past week a representative from our office, Dartanyon, attended a Santa Fe Workshop put on by guru, Jerry Courvoisier. This post isn't about all the great things that Jerry said or did. I'm sure there were plenty of both. Instead, this post is about something Jerry said to the class that I don't agree... read more ›

Shooting French Models in France

I recently answered this question on the Seattle ASMP listserve, and it seemed like a good little nugget to share: Are there special release for photographing French (citizens) models in France? Short answer: yes. Long answer: read on.If you are shooting commercially in France, French citizen models have special rights that are more restrictive than (to my knowledge) anywhere else in the world. Basically, releases there are not good for life - the models can... read more ›

Photographers Who Blog in AfterCapture Magazine

Not long ago I was contacted by a talented writer (and part time photographer) living in Buenos Aires named Ethan Salwen. This month in the photo trade mag AfterCapture Salwan examines the pros and cons of blogging and what it takes to make an interesting or successful web log. In this simple, unpretentious piece titled Enter the Blogosphere, Salwen interviews a small spectrum of photographers who blog and solicits and collates some smart advice for... read more ›

Mourning and the Power of Photography

What is it that makes images powerful and moving? I was stopped in my tracks when I heard about the unthinkable shootings at Virginia Tech. I was stopped in my tracks again today when I saw the NBC images of Cho Seung-Hui posing with his guns prior to murdering 32 innocent people. Images like this one--of Seung-Hui with the gun to his head--certainly reinforce the power of photography and -with that- the power of life... read more ›

Strobist = Photo MacGyver on Steriods

If you haven't visited Strobist yet, you must go there now. It's one of my favorite photo-geek (in the cool sense) blogs on the web - intelligence mixed with insight, humor, and wit, all wrapped into off-camera lighting on the cheap and easy. Word on the street is that he very graciously compared our cool, portable Photography Laptop Case to something out of Q's workshop in a James Bond flick. Well Strobist, if we're Bond... read more ›
