What Are You Packing For the World Cup?
This month, hundreds of photographers around the world will be descending on stadiums in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and other spots around South Africa to cover the month-long sports story that is the World Cup.

Can you edit your own photography? – Mike Davis
A photographer I’m working with asked me yesterday if I think photographers can edit their own work well. I answered that no, generally, I don’t think they can. The answer was not about job security for people like me, who edit photography for a living. Honest.

Thomas Hawk » My Photography Workflow 2010
For the last two years I’ve written blog posts detailing my own personal photography workflow that I use. As the tools to process photos change and as I learn more about processing photos, so does my workflow.
I probably get more questions about my workflow (or what camera to buy) than any other sorts of questions. So since it’s been a year now, I thought I’d update my own personal photography workflow.

James Fee: Darkroom Odyssey
PHOTOGRAPHERS SPEAK
James Fee: Darkroom Odyssey I’ve decided to take this blog in a little different direction with this post. A bit further back in the past, …

I conducted this interview with the late James Fee in 1994 for Camera & Darkroom magazine, where I worked as Managing Editor. It was the first installment of “In the Darkroom,” a department I initiated in which noted photographers like Fee, George Krause and Thomas Barrow discussed their developing and printing methods in relation to their work’s thematic implications. At the time, Fee was beginning to earn widespread acclaim for his “Photographs of America” series, which chronicled a country in decline through haunting images of abandoned factories, hardscrabble towns and neglected cultural icons.

THANKS FOR SHOWING US YOURS – A Picture's Worth
In March, we asked photographers to “Show Us Your PhotoShelter” by blogging about how you’re using our service. We hoped to learn a little bit more about they ways we’re helping you and your business. So many of your responses blew us away, and now we’re handing out a few gifts for some of our favorites. With so many fantastic stories, and so few gifts to share, we had to seriously battle it out to decide which ones came out on top. You’re each using PhotoShelter in so many different ways, we also learned a thing or two! Have a look at some of the responses, and you just may pick up some tricks or even a little inspiration…

came upon an article about the US Slalom Kayaking Championships being held at the recently opened US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. I immediately thought, “If I can set up a remote underwater in a pool and on a bobsled going 80 miles per hour, why can’t I do one for a kayak?”

Never before has there been a company like PhotoShelter and never will there be a company like PhotoShelter. They are the backbone of my business from galleries, to print sales, to client photo delivery, to stock sales, etc, etc. I recommend them to everyone I know. The beauty of PhotoShelter, is they are not just for print sales, or just for stock sales, or just for online archiving. They are for everything.

The photograph, Lamp & Ladder, is one which I took in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, in February, 2010. I’ll use it as an example of the thought process used in both taking the photograph and also in preparing it for printing. This process will be taken step by step, deconstructing the image and finally, declaring what it is “about”.
