A whole bunch of years back, in a galaxy far far away, I sold Ansel Adams’ camera gear to Don Imus for $100,000, all for charity. My point this morning isn’t about the sale, although I have written about it in the past. This is about team sports! I had an idea to tie something [...]

This is one post definitely out of the archives. In getting ready to move I was doing the usual cleaning of career memorabilia and ran across the ad we did at Hasselblad in the early 90’s, selling Ansel Adams’ 1977 Cadillac for charity. A few years later we followed up when his camera gear landed [...]

I know this might seem to be a really basic post, but that’s what people tend to miss the most, the basics! We all do it. We take short cuts thinking we’re speeding things up, then we spend twice the time we should, fixing our mistakes. There are a lot of relatively new photographers who [...]

My good buddy Roberto Valenzuela, who I’ve quoted before, said in a program once, “Practice doesn’t make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect!”  What if [...]

Most of you are aware I’m determined to not miss a day without a new blog.  I also try and write a fresh one every day, rarely loading up the pipeline in advance.  Well, this morning I was having a tough time coming up with a topic so I went to one of the quotation [...]

Nothing particularly earth-shaking this morning, just thinking about what to write and looking at the wall behind my desk.   It’s covered with twelve framed photographs, each one having some special meaning. 
The prints on my wall range from a photograph of Virginia Adams (Ansel’s widow) handing me the keys to his 1977 Cadillac framed with his [...]
