Photography on the Fly (Game)

Curses to the the photographer that posted this link on one of my professional forums this weekend. If only I could bill them for my wasted time spent playing a rather cool photography game, instead of doing the work I needed to get done. Oh well, life is made for…

Bad ad of the year #001

I often say of photographers that if you don't value your own work, why should anyone else? To that end, I love it when people post serious ads on Craigslist looking for photographers who will line up to work themselves silly for little to no compensation. Here's a prime example:…

What’s that yellow stain next to your photo?

Question: What's that yellow stain between your ankles and your artwork? Answer: Why, it's the sign of a full scale pissing match, of course.

Pickles and Mustard

File this rant under "You know that civilization is in deep trouble when..." A normal morning routine for me includes turning on the local news on here in the Bay Area. (KTVU) After grabbing some coffee and keeping an ear out for the weather, I usually start right in working.…

Nose out the window

I'm one of those people that whenever I fly, I try to get a window seat. As long as it's not picth black night, or flying through clouds, my nose (or camera) is glued to the window. On a couple cross-country flights, I've actually gotten a stiff neck and cramps…
