Anatomy of a Shoot in the Middle of Nowhere…
"Well, ya'll could ride with me if you want..." He was walking toward us from his pickup truck in the cold, early morning light of Florence, Arizona. Wide brimmed cowboy hat and real cowboy boots. And he was all smiles. Florence is a very small town southeast of...
On Workshops, Scams, Manners and Foolish Ideas
My friend Seshu, a photographer and owner of the Tiffinbox.org website, recently posted this article: "Gary Fong Wonders If Photo Workshop Instructors Can Handle The Truth" (link) (An admonition to the gentle reader - this is a very long post. There are some points...
Hectic Weeks, Good Friends, and New Books
It has now been a full week since I did the creativeLIVE workshop on introduction to product and still life. It was so long in the making, and then it was there. Done. The weekend before I left for Seattle, I had a huge list of things that were to be done for the...
Product and Still Life Workshop – FREE at creativeLIVE
I am making my second appearance at creativeLIVE this coming weekend. And it will prove to be something totally different than what creativeLIVE normally does. We are going to be tackling the still life and product realms. And I have a few goals and plans for this...
Commlite Enters the Trigger Market with Some Cool Features
NOTE: These triggers were sent to me to test. My TOS is clear. I do not review items that are not interesting or do not live up to my standards. If I don't like something, I do no write about it. I like these triggers. Commlite is a company based in China, I believe,...
While Cleaning Up the Office, I Am Reminded of How Much I Miss Polaroid
Yeah, it happens. Once in a while I have to break down to clean the office. I find it is a great way to procrastinate from doing something that is not ready yet. Creative block - no problem... dig through the cabinets. Heh. This time I found my little box of...
The Black and White Portrait
I am an old school film guy. It's true. It's also true that I have embraced and love digital. Seems to me that photography gained a whole new set of tools with the addition of digital. Of course, many folks treat everything they do as some sort of 'team' affiliation...
creativeLIVE Workshop: “Table Top Product”
The great folks up at creativeLIVE produce new learning experiences for photographers, designers, illustrators and more. Their plan of delivering focused, intensive learning that is student centric instead of geography or school centric, is bold and, I think,...
Workshops? A New Direction… After a Break. Maybe.
It's time. Actually it may be later than that. And that makes it all the more... more... Well, I don't really know how I feel about stopping the workshops. A little sad, I suppose. Possibly a tiny bit bitter (fuckit, I'm human... right?). But mostly I feel like I...
A Project 52 Assignment: Lunch
This was a most incredible assignment over at Project 52. Based on a single layout, supplied to the photographers, they had to complete a faux assignment from an ad agency that was representing a Pharmaceutical Company. The point of the ad was to show how a new pill...
Thoughts On A Couple of Portraits
I was asked about my portraiture by a reader who wanted to know what I am thinking about when shooting. I decided to break down a couple of shots I did of Natalie in Seattle the Sunday after my creativeLIVE presentation. We were on the waterfront and the sun was out...
Thank You creativeLIVE: What a Great Experience
Well it was planned for a long time. We put it on the calendar back in December I believe. I couldn't speak to it until it went "live" so to speak, and the marketing push started. So I simply alluded to a certain three days that my friends and LE followers should...
