ImageShack: How not to do it 2006-07-30 12:00AM
I was looking through my log files lately trying to get a better handle on who's linking to what lately. I consider it to be rather rude when people directly to my images, but I like it when people actually link back to where they found images, so I distribute emailed corrections by hand instead of running some sort of "image stealing prevention script".
Having another person involved in a shoot. 2006-07-29 12:00AM
I was talking with a photographer at one point and he asked why I bother with models. See, it is a huge time sink for me to find models to work with. My lightpaintings are often limited by exactly how long I can get a model to stay still, so sometimes I get back film from a shoot and find that the model is very blurry. And sometimes, I set up a shoot and the model never shows up at that appointed time and place which really wastes my time.
Camera gadgetry and the modern digital camera 2006-07-18 12:00AM
Often times, I hear people talk about their cameras as if they are classes in one's college education. They don't want to get a newer camera until they are comfortable that they've figured out their current digital. I find that, as somebody who takes his photography very seriously, that I have a mental model for photography that I simply try to fit as well as possible into the camera that currently is in my hands, so this idea becomes foreign to me.
Amateurish "provocative" art 2006-07-10 04:50PM
I visited one of my old art teachers last month, just to say hi and show him some of my recent work. He asked how Mr. Foo and Kiki were doing and I told him about one of Mr. Foo's projects... making a neon version of a certain famous disturbing image on the Internet.
How to crossprocess, a beginner's guide 2006-07-06 12:00AM
While there's still ample availability of cameras, film, and people to develop it, everybody should give crossprocessing a shot at least once! I've written about it before; it's a great way to force yourself to not shoot completely realistic pictures.
