As a growing business we’ve now got people in more than one location so we’ve been doing more and more remote collaboration to get things done. Some of the tools we love and how we use them are the subject of this post and hopefully they can help you out as well.

Last Thursday was the benefit auction for the First Exposures mentoring program at SF Camerawork and the fundraiser raised over $60,000 – the biggest fundraiser to date!  We had a packed house at the gallery and there was a lot of great work up.  Alan Bamberger made an appearance as did a ton of others there to support the program.  Having been a mentor for […]

Happy Earth Day week/end!

As a San Francisco Green Business we’ve always loved Earth Day and supported efforts to green our business as much as we can. In fact, we started out as a digital studio back in 2001 because we liked how digital wasn’t as chemically intensive as traditional film processing was. Anyhow, we’ve had a good Earth Day week so far, covering the Mayor’s Earth Day Breakfast on Wednesday and […]

Video, iPhones and more… tools vs creativity

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.

Will photographers need to rely on these tools at […]

Art Basel is not the only thing going on in Miami’s art scene

2017-07-24T21:23:56-07:00By |Categories: Personal, Point of View, Reviews|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

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.

On this particular day (a Monday), not all […]

Truly custom Macbook logos! Take that, Apple!

2017-07-24T21:23:56-07:00By |Categories: Business, Point of View, Reviews|Tags: , , , , , |

We shot for Automattic last week and one of the coolest things was the Macbook Airs that a few folks had. CEO Toni Schneider is shown here showing off his laptop in the photo above and I was like, I gotta have that too! It’s also a great marketing/branding element for anyone who’s got folks out in the field a lot. And it’s a great corporate gift […]

Seeking inspiration?

2017-07-24T21:23:56-07:00By |Categories: Business, Photography, Point of View|Tags: , , , , |

 

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. One of the ways I like to spend time is listening to This American Life when I travel or when it’s actually on the air. The program is fantastic with all sorts of stories about an unimaginable number of subjects. […]
