Jeremy Cowart: Help-Portrait

Public Service Announcement. I meant to get this up last week, but was buried. Great idea pulled together by fellow photog, Jeremy Cowart, that he ran with first over at Scott Kelby's blog and then followed at Help-Portrait.com. We don't need to know the details here, but if you are planning to help, say so here. It will inspire others to do the same. I plan to help. Will you?-- Get my every move: Follow... read more ›

Coffee and Donuts With Scobleizer and Friends

http://www.facebook.com/v/142860226404[UPDATE: I dunno why Facebook has relegated me to this still image here above, when it's really a video. In many cases, when we've posted a video that's been flooded with traffic, they've stopped serving the video to ease up on their servers. In any case, I'm not sure what's going on, but if you click 'continue reading' below, you will get to see the vid...]Posted this to Facebook yesterday, but thought it should go... read more ›

Painting with Light, Hip Hop Edition

Alright. This is just plain cooler than cool. All y'all have seen photography's "painting with light", the technique where you leave the shutter on your camera open for a long time, use a light and drag it around in the frame, and get some cool stuff, writing, shapes, etc. But what do you get when you fuse this technique with one of hip hop culture's oldest pastimes? You get HALO, the brain-child of Parisian artist,... read more ›

Morning of the Shoot: A Quick Video Tour

http://www.facebook.com/v/122990946404You asked for more behind the scenes stuff, so I'm doing my best to deliver. This quick, very recent vid is from the morning of a shoot for a global ad campaign. Contracts and lawyers make it so I can't show any details, but I thought there's plenty to take away from the general buzz that's going on. Sort of fun. I know this is super lo-fi, but we're all crazy busy, so you're getting... read more ›

Priced To Sell: Gladwell vs. Anderson Considering Photography

About 18 months ago, I wrote about Chris Anderson's 'Free' in the context of the ever-evolving landscape of photography, video, and their relation to new media. In today's New Yorker Magazine, Malcolm Gladwell (author of The Tipping Point,Blink,and Outliers,) offers some cogent analysis and great counterpoints to Anderson's claims that are well worth the read: "...And there’s plenty of other information out there that has chosen to run in the opposite direction from Free. The... read more ›

Fake Photojournalism Wins

Two French students were awarded the annual Grand Prix du Photoreportage Etudiant last week to honor a photographic story that presented images documenting the precarious lives of students today and the things they must do in order to survive and succeed.The only catch is that the entire story was a fake.And during the award ceremony, the two "winners"--Guillaume Chauvin and Remi Huberr, art students at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs of Strasbourg--instead of claiming... read more ›

Irrelevant Award-Chasers

Jeff Goodby, pilot of the mighty Goodby, Silverstein & Partners advertising agency has rightly said of the advertising industry: "We've created a system that rewards work that is increasingly unknown to anyone outside the business. We have become connoisseurs of esoterica. And in the process, we're becoming more about us, and less about changing the world. We are becoming irrelevant award-chasers. Sure, some of the best things we make nowadays are internet experiences with necessarily... read more ›

Your Photos Are Boring

Sorry, someone had to say it.Your photos are predictable. Your insights are recycled. You don't bring surprise with you when you come back from working on location.That's why people are ignoring you.Which used to be fine, because people used to not be able to find other photographers. You could just sit back on your past work, or your agent, or your portfolio. But that half-price sale on attention is now over.The only path left is... read more ›

Banksy Vs. Bristol Museum: New “Secret” Exhibit Takes Over

One of my favorites, the legendary street artist, Banksy, has "secretly" taken over the city museum in his hometown of Bristol. In a rare statement, Bansky said: "The people in Bristol have always been very good to me - I decided the best way to show my appreciation was by putting a bunch of old toilets and some live chicken nuggets in their museum...This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money... read more ›

Someone’s Got to Be First

In any discipline, it's tough to be first. The first guy to make a battery powered car, the first first gal to wear combat boots with a babydoll dress, or the first guy to eat 50 hotdogs in 10 minutes. People may laugh at you. They might even point and laugh. In the world of creativity, it's especially tough. Not physically hard, but emotionally hard; hard to have the cajones to lay it out... read more ›
