I've been on the road almost non-stop since we shot the SanDisk campaign in NZ last month, but I'd promised that there was a bit more followup to come as we wrap up post production back at the studio. In this vid, for example (in the spirit of the oldie-but-still-relevant Chase Jarvis CURRENT: 32 Questions vid) I jam through a selection of about 30 questions I'd been asked via the online channels, from creative direction...

It's been fun and inspiring and great to see the book in far-off places like Japan and Paris. Lots of new faces and some familiar ones.But more than that, you've got me fired up. I just stumbled across this link on my book's Amazon.com page (directly beneath...

Is it just me, or are we all a bit more creative when we have some distance between ourselves and our chaos?Living life - be it adventure, struggle, conflict or resolution - gives us the bedrock of artistic inspiration. But if you're anything like me, actualizing that inspiration requires moments of calm.Case in point: Just sitting here working my ass off in the studio, 10pm on a Friday night...the last few weeks have been a...

If chapter titles like..._Working with Reps, Assistants, Employees, and Contractors: The Pitfalls and Benefits, or_Transitioning to Freelance, or_Licensing Your Work, or_Setting Your Photographer’s Fees, or_Releases: Model, Property, and Others ..don't get you to buy this book, perhaps my assessment of the book will:I think Best Business Practices for Photographers, Second Edition is essential reading for anyone even thinking about licensing an image, starting a business in photography, or dreaming of taking their photo game "pro".Long...

As more and more of us photogs co-mingle our still capture with motion capture, we're going to be seeing increasingly co-mingled media outlets increasingly more excited to increase their co-mingling of media. You get my point.Looks like Outside is along for the ride now, thus adding another solid print title to the short list of those that are doing more interesting things--either out of desperation or innovation--which is still up for debate. This cool...

Hopefully you were tuned in the previous coupla weeks to our play-by-play campaign shooting for SanDisk in New Zealand. Well, we're back in the states, digging out, editing and what not, and as promised, we've got more content from the trip to post.

I slept 4 hours in a 65 hour stretch. ...that was in the couple days before and after launching The Best Camera ecosystem. But I loved it, because working hard to create stuff feels good. It’s not everyday that you get an opportunity to launch a book, or an iPhone app, or an online community, let alone all three. The experience has been exciting, humbling, scary and energizing all at once, and I owe a...
