2017-07-24T21:23:55-07:00By |Categories: Photography, Point of View, Video|Tags: , , , , |

Now as photographers we’ve probably all heard enough of how DSLR video was revolutionizing what everyone could do with video and of course phone cameras are now the number one image capture device for most Americans.  Now with the video capabilities of phones improving there seems to be more and more focus on what can be done with that medium.

On my most recent trip to Miami, I had the fortune to actually get out of South Beach (where I typically am for shoots) and head into Miami proper, this time checking out the Wynwood Arts District.  This area has undergone a renaissance of late, and anyone who’s been to Art Basel Miami has no doubt enjoyed the resurgence.

In these busy times it’s often hard to find inspiration for ideas whether it’s for your photography, or for running your photography business.

The program is fantastic with all sorts of stories about an unimaginable number of subjects. […]
