Link: The Visual Student » Preparing for Barnstorm XXII: Melissa Lyttle:It’s true what you hear. You will not sleep. You may miss meals while on assignment. Be prepared for both. Bring some granola bars or other snacks to keep in your camera bag. Get some sleep before you get there so you don’t come in already spent. I hate seeing students sleep through some great presentations because they stayed up all week before the workshop reworking their portfolios, and they’ve stayed up each night at the workshop drinking crappy beer and chatting with friends. But when those lights go out in the barn, eyes close, heads go down… and a lot of powerful pictures and inspiration are missed.

The bottom line is that no photo of a bunch of anarchists is worth getting hurt over. These things can and do get dangerous and it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that because it’s not in some far off war zone that it’s safe.

While he was covering the Ducks game, I wandered around the Autzen parking lot shooting tailgaters. We (Boyd) left PDX so early, I had 7 hours to do my thing.

Link: Matt Brown: Are you building relationships or only taking photos?:One of my clients, Cal State University Fullerton, has over 300 student athletes. I will have face time with all them throughout the school year. Like must schools we do posters, schedule cards, programs and media guides just to name a few things. I’m around these student athletes so much that it’s actually like having another set of kids-300 of them. I do my best to build a relationship with everyone of them-from the time I take their first mug shot I start to commute with them.

Link: The Changing Face of Photographer Websites:In my role at PhotoShelter I have seen a new trend emerging due to how the economy is affecting photographers and what they are doing in response. The current climate is forcing old pros and new freelancers alike to become their own tech-savvy marketing and branding agencies, and they have to take website changes seriously.

Link: Intern Diaries: Provo Daily Herald:My first order of business after accepting the internship was to look for housing. Searching craigslist I came across a bunch of Brigham Young University housing, but I had no idea what that meant. When I found a place with $95 monthly rent, I couldn’t turn it down. I mean, I could do BYU housing right?

Via: High Definition War Footage Taken with Canon 5D Mark II – Obama’s War – Gizmodo:I’m amazed by the cinematic qualities of this high definition footage from Frontline’s documentary Obama’s War. The color, the depth, the texture, it all screams film to me. Except it’s just a Canon 5D Mark II rigged by Danfung Dennis.
