VIDEO: WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAIL
07/08/2010 4:50 PM
It’s moments like these that I’m glad I gave up shooting weddings a long time ago.
I’m sure he had a few small heart attacks when his cameras fell in the water with him.

VIDEO: THE CAMERA OF THE FUTURE

Okay, that’s it, I’m moving to Japan! The new technology coming out of that country is simply awe-inspiring.
Check out this new camera concept from Canon(not to mention the Lifewall displays by Panasonic). They’re guessing this is where cameras will be by 2030.
Turn your volume up because the narrator’s delivery leaves much to be desired.
Picture a single lens camera, with the ability to cover ALL the focal lengths, with quality that’s BETTER than having interchangeable lenses. I’m geeking out! *falls out of chair*

THOUGHTS: RESIZING WINDOWS
06/28/2010 8:43 AM
Sometimes I begin my day by browsing for inspiration images. I use to rely on magazines, but the web has taken over.
A great program for grabbing images online is LittleSnapper (it kills the whole “my site is protected because it’s flash argument”). Buggy, but very useful.
As I browse photography websites and the like I’m often confronted by one of the most annoying features:
AUTOMATICALLY RESIZING WINDOWS
Usually I have 3-4 windows open at one time, all for different tasks. They’re all sized perfectly for my workspace. I hate it when I visit a site, which seems harmless, then it goes and resizes my window taking up my whole screen. Man is that annoying.
Word of advice, when designing your website, allow users to resize the window themselves. At the least, provide a button that will expand the window to full screen but don’t force it.

COMMENTS: AWARDS
Over at “The F Stop” website, there’s an interesting interview series about self-promotion. Interviewees were asked (more/less), “Does winning the major awards have an impact on if you’re considering a photographer for a job?”
Here are responses from all three people:
1. “I wouldn’t say it helps get you hired. I don’t think it makes a difference. Getting hired is based on your qualifications. If there’s a producer who’s worked with you before, and that producer has also worked with other photographers, for example, but said something good about you, then that has impact.”
2. “No, honestly it doesn’t. I think it’s a really great nod from the industry, to get an award and to be in that company. But if I’m looking at somebody’s work, and they don’t have any awards, but their work is amazing, it doesn’t matter to me that they haven’t won an award yet. Because I just figure that hopefully when we collaborate it might lead to something great.”
3. “I would say no. If anything I like the PDN 30. Of the magazines that’s one I look at. And I use that magazine when I’m trying to read about new technology and photographers and what the trends are, and I think that’s a good source.
I think, if anything, because they’ll do promotions for who won I’ll see it. It’s good in that sense, that if you’ve won, I’ll probably get an e-mail, and your name will be on it, and there’ll be a photo. And then I might go look at it, whereas before I might not have been drawn to you. But in terms of if I’m hiring for a job it’s still more about does it fit the concept? Is it in my budget? Does the art director feel like this photographer’s going to bring the right sensibility to the ad? Yeah, I don’t think the award trumps any of that. More, it might just be a way for them to get in front of me.”
So photographers, don’t worry if you don’t win that award. It’s great to have, but really doesn’t matter all that much.
