Hey photo friends - Erik here. While I'm typically the video guy around these parts, I wanted to hop on the blog to quickly tell you about a piece of camera gear that I’ve been enjoying lately. I picked up a Tilt Transformer from Lensbaby about a month ago and it’s now a permanent piece of my walk-around photography kit. The Tilt Transformer allows you to mount your Nikon lenses to a Micro Four Thirds... read more ›

My homies over at Flavorwire ran a really cool gallery of cameras made out of unusual stuff--like trees, shells, and--like you see in the photo above, a turtle shell (no turtles were harmed in the making...only natural causes of death...)... Which got me thinking: cameras have been along so long, people have had the chance to do some really weird stuff with them. Though a lot of manufacturers might have you think differently, the body... read more ›

Are the fees or prices you're charging for your creative services too low? I bet they are. Try doubling the money. You have to deliver the goods, of course, but that's true in any work. Chances are that the clients you ditched needed ditching, the clients you carry forward and the new clients you land will pay those fees happily and will better understand the value you bring. And I'm guessing you'll be happier and... read more ›

Whether you caught the LIVE show or missed it, I recommend pressing play on the #cjLIVE rewatch video above. You'll see why it was one of the most popular shows we've run. More than just funny and talented, Kawasaki is a fountain of knowledge on lofty topics like branding, marketing, and vision--down to really specific, actionable checklists for getting your art, photography, product, or gadget noticed. Four stars - not to miss. ----

Unless you've been living under a rock, we've all heard of the 365 day projects - where a photographer takes a photo of something in their life every day for a year. (You might also have been living under a rock if you missed my new "Emerging Talent" series announcement...). With 365 projects - not unlike new years resolutions - many start, few finish. One photographer, a young fellow named Alex Stoddard, not only finished... read more ›

This post should actually be called: "How People THINK Photographers Spend Their Time -VS- How They Actually Spend It -- it's not what you think and it's not too late". Come to think of it, perhaps I'll find an even better title... [Done.] Experience tells me that non-photographers, or amateur photographers often have an idyllic view of the life of a professional photographer. It's all romping around with a pricy camera, with hot models in... read more ›
