Can someone get the Rattlesnake off my back?

Whenever I talk to another photographer the topic of “personal work” always comes up. Usually in the casual form of, “hey, have you shot any personal work lately?” This standard artistic rendition of the workplace, “how’s the weather” is usually brushed off as soon as the first round of drinks arrives and more enjoyable “which [...]

Nikon

Terminal E, Gate 18. In a chaise lounge made up of my roller case and an available chair, I await my flight home. The last three days have taught me more about myself than I believe I have taught others about photography. This time the only absent item was the camera, sharp irony considering I [...]

Hunters and Smoke

As a commercial photographer, one of the biggest stressors that I face is getting the shot. Some shoots are easier to accomplish this than others, but you must always get the shot or you haven’t worked hard enough for your client. However, today’s post is about a shoot where getting the shot was actually an [...]

Stuff You Should Know

Life on the road while shooting campaigns can get very lonely. Sometimes it is a welcome thing, and at other times I find myself texting everyone in my phonebook to see what’s new and have a conversation. Of the many things I have picked up while on this journey, having an interest in learning is [...]

Bb to speak for Nikon

To be honest, writing that title alone makes me smile like a little school girl. I am honored to say that I will be speaking for Nikon at the 2013 Imaging USA expo in Atlanta, January 20-22.  Those who know me, know this has been a long time in the making and an even longer [...]

The Greatest Scotch Glass Ever

Firstly, let me say Happy New Year and that I hope the holidays treated you and yours well. While I wanted to title this post “Best of 2012″, a quick look around the interwebs showed that said label had been applied to everything else on Earth! Best power tool of 2012, best rideable toy for [...]

Finding Bigfoot

Color me a skeptic, someone who judges feasibility through a scientific mind, sees believability in reputable results… and then ask me to photograph the ad for the show Finding Bigfoot. Skeptical cynicism aside, producing a photoshoot for a show that hunts a mythological creature was an idea that had never crossed my mind. Before seeing [...]

RESPECT

Let me first say that this post was originally going to be made a few months back, however the temperament of our nation’s political climate seemed too volatile and I was worried that it would detract from the point of the article. While this blog does contain political figures, I hope that it can be [...]

Nexus 4 for Photographers

As many of you know, I am an Apple freak. From the computers, to the iPad, to the iPhone, to the iWhatever, I am a what you would call, “fanboy”.  However, the does not presuppose that I am narrow minded in my views of other products or companies.  In a nutshell, I appreciate Apple as [...]

Planes, Trains, Hurricanes

We all know by now, the east coast (especially NY and NJ) have suffered a terrible disaster and there are many good people out there that need help. So if I may offer some advice, instead of buying that new iPad mini with 32GB of storage, you could get a 16GB version and take the [...]
