Fifteen Minutes. …Do I hear 30?
Holy Smokes. You guys see that gigantic visitor’s spike in my google analytics dashboard? That was on the day David Hobby, aka The Strobist, pimped me out on twitter. …his handle is @strobist for those reading this post who didn’t find me through him. 1,835! that’s how many people checked out my blog July 15th, [...]
The Strobist for The Howard County Times
Sometimes photographing another photographer can be intimidating. …sometimes it can be annoying. But I felt neither emotion when I got to photograph David Hobby last week. It was
Brad Trent. Fun translates on a shoot.
Brad Trent is super bad ass. Giving Credit to where credit is due, The Strobist recently pimped him out, discussing his regularly practiced fourth-wall-breaking “Artificial Portraits” series. So, that’s where I heard about him. Now… I’m a big fan. and I LOOOOOOVE his wackadoo style. It seems like Mr. Trent just likes to have fun. [...]
The Dorkiest of the Dorky Dorks
I made a video on the D300s. Its posted below. Not that I’m claiming to be that cool, but these new backpack systems by Clik Elite my be the nail on the coffin for any shred of coolness I try to have. I look like the dorkiest dorky dork in the world, but the results [...]
10am Update: Shoot whatever you want, just not their faces.
A new playground for the abused and neglected children of The Ravens Courage House had an opening ceremony Friday January 20, 2005. For the children’s safety none of them are to be identified in the photo. So, what do you do when you can’t show faces? — thank your lucky stars for the sun location, [...]
Holy Smokes! I’m in 2nd place.
I know this sounds like I’m bragging — and well, I guess I am a little, but not in a cocky way. It’s more like a “super excited” kind of bragging. I did really well in the recently judged September clip contest. The monthly clip contest doesn’t really go in order. December’s already been judged, [...]
The iPad. A “RECEIVING” space.
below is a variant on the response I made on Tim Lytvinenko’s Tuesday Tech post on the Luceo blog. I feel cheesy reposting a response as an article, but I think the topic of space association is important when talking about these new devices. You know how you were told not to do your homework [...]
HAT TRICK! NPPA: Monthly News Clip Contest
WooHoo!!! I cleaned up in the Illustration category for December’s NPPA: Monthly News Clip Contest.
mini Foodfolio
Food is surprisingly a challenging subject to photograph. Well, it is if you wanna keep your chops sharp. I’ve learned a bunch of tricks when it’s food shoot season. Natural light, as usual, can be your friend. That’s what I used with the Iron Bridge photos. A dark table and gorgeous, window-lit fall-off, gave an [...]
Light the Emotion!
Ben Bender linked to an article on Emotional Lighting when he commented on my recent post, Shoot the Emotion! So, since I love to use lighting, I think it’s worth discussing. Now, this may not be the best photo to describe emotional lighting, buuuut, it’s by far the most convenient. I shot it Saturday. I [...]
Shoot the Emotion!
If I was to give myself some professional New Years resolutions, this is one of them. “Shooting the emotion” weighs heavier to viewers than cool, graphic images. Using rad light and a bad-ass compositions, don’t cut to the core. They’re just eye candy. Don’t get me wrong, I LOOOOOVE eye candy. When I look over [...]
