Photography & Industry Perspective

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…

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.

Last night I had a rare night off so I had dinner with my friend Julie for a belated birthday party and then we went to Shine where it was Dirtybird. A good night although I still couldn’t leave the studio without a camera…

Having shot quite a few society events (especially over the past ten days), I’ve seen a lot of the same folks at these soirees. I overheard Claiborne say that she got off on the wrong floor and walked into someones party and realized then that she wasn’t at the right place.
