You may have already seen this, but in case you missed it...If you've ever doubted that photo/imaging/video was going to integrate really nicely with the web, then think again, and take a peek at this: No, no, no, not my dumb arse there off to the side...take a look at the image. It's more than a stupid cartoon and my stupid face. What you're looking at is my screen grab of a digital hologram. I... read more ›

The photography industry is really focused on the ‘industry’ part and not so much on the ‘photography’ part. This is the greatest moment in the history of photography if your dream is to distribute as much photography as possible to as many people as possible, or if your goal is to make it as easy as possible to become seen as a photographer. There’s never been a time like this before.So if your focus is... read more ›

I wanted to share with you three interviews I've recently given... This stuff normally lives on the press page where it can be a touch more shameless, but I've been buried all week and was looking for some low hanging fruit. Plus, I wanted to call these out because you should consider visiting the sites of each of these interviewers. They're all utter gentlemen who are putting out lots of great content for the photography... read more ›

Zack Arias, you nailed it man. Way to lay it out there. From all of us creatives who have sparked, flailed, and gotten back up, sparked, flailed again, dusted ourselves off, and flailed yet again: thank you. Wonderful piece.(thx for the tip, Sarah.)--

Thanks to public outcry, Facebook today retracted their "new" terms of service--which generated an appropriately huge outcry--and reverted to their previous terms. This is of interest to me, seeing that I've got a good bit of content on my Facebook page.Their previous terms were pretty aggressive in their own right, claiming: "You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream,... read more ›

Lots of blogs come and go, but of note this week are two... One coming, the other, well, we're not sure.First, liveBooks--known globally for their custom photography websites--humbly but proudly joined the online discussion last Tuesday by launching a new blog titled RESOLVE. (I've been a liveBooks fan for some time, having switched over to their smooth setup late in 2007 after being impressed by their ability to serve up big photos, and fast.) Their... read more ›

They've been hinting at it for some time now, butPocketWizard radio slaves just one minute ago announced a completely refreshed product offering aimed at continuing to dominate the photographic airwaves radiowaves. And they've spoiled us. Check out the Mini TT1 transmitter and the Flex TT5 transceiver pictured above.It's no secret that I've been using their stuff religiously as long as I've been using remote flashes and cameras. Hell, I just spun through some of my... read more ›

Not too long ago I had a creative/personal breakthrough with my work. In short, it amounted to my snapping into clarity about what I wanted from my creativity, my profession, and ultimately, my life. A path to this subsequently emerged, and I've revealed the thrust of these epiphanies--without eloquence--on this blog over time.In a wave or recent email and Facebook inquiries on this sort of stuff, I was tempted put together a summary post on... read more ›

In full disclosure, I’m probably not the best person to pay attention to for stellar direct mail promo pieces. We did score a PDN Self-Promo award back in 2006 with this piece, but outside of that, I haven’t historically had a cohesive plan about this sort of stuff. And so it continues here today. But that's not stopping me from wanting to share them. Actually, I’m proud to say that this is my... read more ›

[Note: I'm excited today to announce a new element to this here blog: monthly guest posts from my badass staff. Since each of them are experts in their own right, I figured you'd be interested in hearing some different perspectives. Today, Scott takes the reins and raps about our push for visual impact over "perfection" and how stock photography gives him the willies. Round of applause, please...take it away Scotty...]We keep a lot of irons... read more ›
