Just this past week we were in Chicago to shoot the Schwab IMPACT conference and just got back from it. One of the things that came up during the conference that we’ve tackled before, was the amount of walking during a day of shooting. Talking to one of the other photographers, I decided to track how many steps I took during […]
The Giants won the World Series for the second time in three years and we went to the parade and rally again yesterday! It was so fun and we let folks from the studio take off to check it out if they wanted since so many of us here are Giants fans. I was particularly psyched to see Tony Bennett again and this was the […]
Well, the 2012 baseball season is over and the crew at Orange was super excited to see our San Francisco Giants win the World Series for the second time in three years. It was also awesome that one of the main hashtags for the postseason was #OrangeOctober, which of course, we loved!
Last night I got an impromptu invitation to check out the game from fellow photographer Myleen Hollero and got to sit in the upper deck for the first time. The view was pretty cool and it was a good game with Madison Bumgarner pitching strong and getting the win, and solid defense to compliment just enough offense including the game winning RBI from Hunter Pence […]
Another school year has kicked off and that means that another year of First Exposures has kicked off as well. As a long-time mentor in the program, we’ve seen it grow over the years and this year has a ton of new faces. It’s great to see this program growing and after our second class of the year, things are already […]
Ethics are a touchy subject and in the events industry, with the GSA scandal in the news recently, it’s an important topic. Even in the sports and academic worlds, ethics has been in the news with the inaction at Penn State resulting in a terrible situation there.
Joan Eisenstodt presented at both MPINCC and ISES-NCC and she starts off with this question (from Can Ethics […]
Coming off attending ISES Eventworld, it was fortuitous that the book I brought to read on my flight was Leadership Gold by John Maxwell. As a board member of the ISES-NCC chapter, we attended the conference early for some of the leadership training and I found that to be very useful.
The best thing about getting involved with an industry […]
This past weekend we covered Venue Connect 2012 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the IAVM. It occurred to me during the event that we, as event photographers, do a lot of walking when we shoot. That paired with the less than wise choice to bring my ‘cool’ shoes instead of my super comfy shoes, led me to think a lot about my feet and what they […]
We’ve used a lot of different gear at the studio here, but one thing we had a recent problem with was our Photoflex backdrop stands. Two of the screw-in bolts popped out of the stand which meant you couldn’t tighten that piece of the stands and extend it to it’s full height (see above). We did a search online and saw a few other photographers […]
Just last month we finally took our team out to explore Pier 24. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s an exhibition space that’s used to showcase photography. Much of the exhibit is from the Pilara Foundation Collection but they also showcase other work outside of the collection.
The collection on display during our visit (and that’s up until February 28, 2013) is called About […]
