Kinda like turning on the comment firehose.Thanks much for all of the helpful feedback, and to those asking, I got the 94% number from multiple polls.__________I am getting ready to hop on a plane to Mexico, where I will be teaching for Santa Fe Workshops next week.

  - This Finn O'Hara Shoot Probably will not Fit in the Conference Room. November 4, 2009
    [UPDATE]: Just talked to Finn on the phone, and the original video -- with the final images included -- had to be pulled as per the client's request. Turns out they have backed up the run date a little. Oh, and Finn was not expecting 10k views when he put it up on Vimeo, either. But he swapped it for the one below, which does not include final images. S […]

  - Ray Flash vs. Orbis vs. AlienBees ABR800 Review, Pt. 2 November 2, 2009
    Last week, we looked at the Orbis and Ray Flash, which pretty much compete head-to-head in the ring flash adapter arena.This week, we take a closer look at the AlienBees ABR800. Although it is a ringlight with a self-contained studio monobloc flash, it is priced in the neighbor of the other two units -- especially when you consider a standalone flash is not […]

  - Brain Food: Three New Offerings October 29, 2009
    Over the last two weeks, three new educational items of interest have popped up on the radar. There are new video tutorials from Dave Honl and JoeyL, and John Harrington has evolved his Best Business Practices book into a magnum opus, 500+ page second edition. More on all three, and which ones may or may not be for you, inside.__________Best Biz 2.0Harringto […]

  - A Filthy Language Primer, Courtesy Chase Jarvis October 27, 2009
    At first glance, this appears merely to be a very cool behind-the-scenes look at the high-speed flash shooting Chase did last month in New Zealand. Lotsa high-tech flash talk, impossible sequences, killer pics -- yadda, yadda, yadda.But the real takeaway here is of the etymological variety.To wit, the adjective "sick." Which, of course, means […]

  - Ray Flash vs. Orbis vs. AlienBees ABR800 Review, Pt. 1 October 26, 2009
    Ring light has, for me, gone from a curiosity to what I consider to be an essential part of my lighting kit. I do not always use it when lighting people, but I always bring it. And I frequently end up using it -- but rarely as a main or only light. In this first of a two-part series comparing ring flashes, we'll be taking a look at the two direct compet […]

  - On Assignment: Weed Eaters October 22, 2009
    I spent Tuesday afternoon shooting a fleet of all-terrain mowers in Herald Harbor, MD. Using goats instead of herbicides to clear land is growing in popularity, especially where runoff and watersheds are involved. And you have to admit, it is a pretty cool way to clear a monster patch of kudzu that has taken over a cliff.__________Brian Knox is the supervisi […]

  - Kevin Winzeler BTS vids: Big Lights, Small Lights October 19, 2009
    Got intro'd to Park City, Utah photographer Kevin Winzeler by a mutual friend last week and got a look at a couple of behind-the-scenes videos from his site. Nothing heavy today, no tutorial stuff. (Hey, it is Monday.) Just good block-and-tackle examples of what every commercial shooter should be doing as standard marketing in 2009. (And, of course, a l […]

    November is upon us! With October ending, I have new web resources to share. The way I work is that as I see something on the web that I find interesting, I drop it into a Word document titled “New_In_Process.” When the end of the month rolls around and/or I have enough items to share [...]

  - Learning the language of photography October 19, 2009
    Besides teaching workshops around the world, I run a few small on-line critique groups. These usually arise out of workshops where the students in the group have bonded and do not want to end the critiquing/dialogue that is at the core of any good workshop. So we meet in a conference call approximately every [...]

I am about to head off to New York City for the big Photo Plus Expo, the annual trade show “for [...]
  - Golfers, psychotherapists and photographers October 12, 2009
    The legendary golfer, Jack Nicklaus is supposed to have said: “Golf is 90% mental.” So, you are asking yourself, what does golf (a sport I normally have no interest in) have to do with photography, the pursuit that I love? More than I ever thought, actually.
  - Photographers and painters!?!? October 9, 2009
    I am just back from Greece where I was teaching and photographing. During my photography workshop, there were also two painting workshops run by the same organization. The “photographers” ate and drank along with the “painters,” which made for some laugh-filled meals. There also was a subtle but interesting competition/ divergence going on [...]

  - Questions Couples Should Ask Before Saying “I Do” August 24, 2009
    Relationship experts report that too many couples fail to ask each other critical questions before marrying. Here are a few key ones that couples should consider asking: 1) Have we discussed whether or not to have children, and if the answer is yes, who is going to be the primary care giver? 2) Do we have a [...]
