Usually when I travel I get aisle seats so that I can get stuff outta my carry on, and/or use the bathroom freely without bothering other people. My latest trip out to shoot in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh had me in a Window Seat, and I recalled Julieanne Kost’s book of the same name
while I gazed […]
Well, I recall a company who produced class reunions and they were telling us how their business has been affected by Facebook and other social networking since people are now able to stay in touch and that was the case for myself and many of my […]
Have you noticed the banners that are hanging around Union Square for ACT? We shot the image at night on the left side of the banners. It’s always cool to see your images around town. The final image used was retouched – see if you can see the differences between the shot out of camera (below) and what’s on the actual banners…
Andria had her birthday on Friday before she went on vacation to Vancouver, so we hope you are having a blast up North and we’re saving the rest of your cake for your return!
So I’ve never been a fan of the wedding family shots, but have tried to do things that are less formal and more interesting. I would say this is my most challenging portion of a wedding since my style is much more documentary than directed/staged. This was a shot of mine from a recent wedding and luckily we had some time so […]
So we use tape for all sorts of things as I’m sure all photographers do so we decided to create a top ten list so here it goes:
1) Gaffers – the prototypical multi-use tape – too bad it’s not cheaper!
2) duck tape – you can pretty much fix all sorts of things with this…
3) double-sided – need to attach two things? this is it!
4) scotch – […]
Well this semester of mentoring is wrapping up and the final event will be the zine release party at Adobe Books on Friday June 5, 2009. I’ve had a great time working with the kids in the program and some of the zines are really neat. The digital class did theirs using digital images and technology with the […]
Social media has a lot of uses and one thing we’ve created is the “Instant Photo Assignment.” The way it works is quite simple: You just post a tweet or to your Facebook status that you are accepting “Instant Photo Assignments” and then people can reply back to you with assignment options. Now, you can take them literally or […]
Poladroid is a ridiculously easy-to-use piece of software that you can download for free. You drag in any image and it spits out a Polaroid-like version in seconds. It weirdly satisfying to use because you see the image “develop” in real-time and it even sets of a satisfying click-a-churn Polaroid camera sound. It’ll add on a random thumbprint, fading, and vignetting to create a similar […]
I was down in Los Angeles last week and was able to stop by the newly opened Annenberg Space for Photography. Their site describes it as a place for “celebrating the human condition as seen through the lens of some of the world’s most renowned photographers.” Nice! and how extra nice that admission is free. Exhibits are an interesting combination of prints and digital displays (even in the […]
