    Facebook does it again

    Facebook has altered their terms of service to make it possible for companies that pay the social media network to utilize Facebook users’ content and likeness without compensation or permission. The changes are sure to alienate Facebook’s users in the creative community, who make a living from...

    Hollywood Browncoat

    I'm gonna be in the movies. Well, not me...but some of my photos. I was contacted by a production company who will use a few of my images for an upcoming movie. The images will be shown as part of a news report scene. The non-disclosure agreement prohibits me from naming the movie at this time...

    Just...wow

    I'm not going to do the site justice by linking to it. Check out: www picsbid dotcom It's a race to the bottom, kids. Let's have photographers fight each other in a bidding war to see who can be first in line at the unemployment office. These guys even have the stones to charge photographers...

    Tea Time on the Salton Sea

    When I thumb through my personal stuff...not the photos I take for others, the photos I take just for me...the vast majority of them are black and white. You're right, it adds an edge. It strips away all the fluff and exposes an image bare and leaves nothing but the simple truth. Might be a...

    Rodeo

    There was some rodeo action @ the local heritage festival this weekend. This kind of thing ain't my bag, so I didn't stick around long, but I did manage to crack off a few shots:

    Sepia...not quite B&W

    Posting these here because the theme is the same, sepia is just more fitting for these photos. These were taken at a local heritage festival. There's nothing better for street photography than getting people in costume. You may recognize Abe Lincoln, The Prospector, and Mark Twain:

    The 'Rents

    My mom has been ding-donging me to do a couples shoot of her and dad for awhile now. It's every photographer's worst nightmare: huggy-kissy shots of their parents. Ew! Really, I'm pretty lucky. My parents are still young and very much in love. After I got over the cringes, these turned out...

    Design for a sticker

    Here's some of mine. First, the business card: The logos: My new packaging is chipboard cardboard. The logos are rubber stamped for a vintage look. I considered buying some custom DVDs, but in the end, decide to keep burning the label on with Lightscribe. People really seem to like having...

    Head count

    Just curious...how many working pros or semi-pros do we have on these boards? Let me clarify my definition of "pros" or "semi-pros". Must meet at least one of the following: 1) At least 25% of your annual income derived from photography 2) Have a business name (sole proprietorship, LLC, etc) 3)...

    David Jay: Ken Rockwell's Prodigy

    I have, by now, a well-documented disdain for Kenny. I believe the man is a vampire, preying on the photography community. He's a snake oil salesman, looking only to line his own pockets by peddling donations from hapless newbies who don't know good advice from bad. And then there's David Jay...

    Refusing to Conform

    I've put my photography business on the back burner for now until I can re-tool. Even in my small area, I'm overwhelmed by Facebook Fauxtographers. These are all amateurs who have crap technical skills, but trendy effects on their photos. Never mind that none of them can take a photo without...

    D700 rubber grips coming off

    Photography guru Ken Rockwell uses the hide from an elephant penis on his one of a kind left-handed Nikon F1, as seen on his About page.

    How many of you still use Ansel Adams' Zone System?

    Guess I should've paid attention to which section of the forums I was in.

    D7000 w/nikon 18-200 red noise on long exposures

    Yup, I've been left scratching my head due to this issue as well. I was taking a series of long exposure HDR shots using a remote and couldn't figure out why the !@#$ I kept getting some strange light wash on my images. After about the 5th attempt, I finally figured it out. Your camera...
