Last week Scott Bourne wrote a pretty remarkable post on GoingPro. It’s received such great feedback I wanted to share it here on my blog. If you don’t already follow Scott and me, along with a few terrific guests now and then, check out GoingPro.
Scott’s point is about attitude and the need for photographers to work together. I’ve seen so [...]
Last week my buddy, Dustin Meyer from Austin, published this post on his blog, MPactPhoto. It’s a great blog and should be on your list of weekly reads. In fact, it’s more than a blog, it’s exactly what he calls it ”a professional photographer resource”. Dustin always has great information to share, helping to make every one’s life [...]
In a galaxy far far away – okay, just a career or two ago, Dave Ashby and I met. Thanks to social media we’ve stayed in touch, catching up on something every few weeks or so. Last week Dave told me about a project he’s always wanted to do, which all I could say was, “So, why don’t you [...]
I haven’t written a Sunday Morning Reflection in a long time, choosing to spend the mornings with Sheila, rather than writing a post. Well, we’ve got a long-time friend of Sheila’s here for the weekend and while they’re doing girl talk, I’ve got time. I feel like writing about what I’ve often referred to as the best [...]
Ever had a day when you just wanted to do something different? Well, welcome to my Friday morning challenge. I have a great how-to post ready to go and I can’t get something off my mind. It’s all because of a kitchen magnet I’ve looked at numerous times a day for three years. I know I [...]
Having a lighting theme all this week, I can’t hit the topic without talking about the newest resource for photographers on the scene, Kevin Kubota’s Lighting Notebook. It’s all about on location lighting and so new I’m not sure it’s even shipping yet.
Here’s the mark of a great photographer and educator, great content…watch the demo video and as [...]
One of the chapters Tony and I share in our careers is working together at Hasselblad. I hired Tony out of Brooks Institute to come to New Jersey as the first Dean of Education for Hasselblad University. I still consider talking Tony into giving up his view of the Ocean and mountain side in Santa Barbara for [...]
With the post yesterday about Dean Collins, you can’t really talk about teaching lighting today without Tony Corbell’s name coming up. Tony and Dean worked together for years. Thanks to Profoto, there’s a lot of great material out there, starting with two videos I decided to stack as part of today’s post. They feature Tony [...]
One of the things I find sad with today’s younger photographers is the lack of appreciation for the history of the craft. Everyone is obviously digital, many of you have grown up on Photoshop and you’re up to date on all the latest plug-ins to create some amazing images, but here’s what you’re missing.
If you have an appreciation [...]
