10:15 on a Christmas Night…

2017-07-24T21:19:05-07:00By |Categories: Personal|

So we’re all spread out for the holidays and I’m now in the town I grew up in – Auburn, AL. Last night I went out to a place that used to be a restaurant but was one of the few bars open on Christmas night. The place was packed since it was one of the few options and I decided to bring the camera along. I totally forgot about the ‘zap’ man – who were the [...]

“Where’s Waldo?” a poem

So an astute reader pointed out that I was in a photo in Swells, Catherine Bigelow’s society column, so while eating a salad at Pluto’s today I saw it in person – kinda funny – although you can’t see my silvery pants.

Holiday Parties 3

Love this data (thanks to C.W. Nevius’ article today in the Chronicle about the Office party):
A Canon Copiers survey last year of its technicians in the United Kingdom found that 32 percent of service calls over the holidays were “to repair copier glass that had been sat on” or “to fix paper jams that revealed evidence of embarrassing images.”

So we shot Gordon Getty’s Birthday/Holiday Party last night for SFiS. We can’t post anything so […]

Had a chance to shoot someone in one of our Orange Exposure tank tops at the studio on Saturday. This is Jen who came down from Sacramento to shoot and modeled the tank for us:

Judging

2017-07-24T21:19:06-07:00By |Categories: Point of View|

Photography competitions are numerous and we’ve entered our share including those on WPJA where we’ve won numerous awards, and the annual PDN Top Knots competitions as well. I’m currently a judge for the CPI P3 Image Competition. There’s a section on there about the judging panel and I’ve just finished going through the entries. It’s a bit exhausting to go through so many images, but also fun to see the work. I’ve heard a lot about the [...]

Shining

Lately I’ve been out at Shine quite a bit. This past Saturday night after shooting the Branson School class of 1996 reunion I headed over there to see my friends spin for their Angels of Bass party. Made some new friends, had a few drinks…blah blah blah…

Megapixel, schmegapixel…!

2017-07-24T21:19:07-07:00By |Categories: Point of View|

So I was glad to see New York Times columnist David Pogue write up something about the whole megapixel race and why it’s overhyped. As professionals we often get asked “How many megapixels is that?!” and usually people are expecting some huge number that eclipses whatever camera they are using. However unlike some things, size doesn’t matter beyond a certain point and Pogue’s article illustrates this as will his upcoming special on the Discovery Channel about the [...]
