He did not disappoint. Jimmy Koh and his wife (who’s name I didn’t get) are possibly the coolest camera shop owners in the world. Jim and Chris at Pro Photo Supply in Portland, I’m sorry, to the crazy Orthodox guy at B&H who always scolds me for not going to Shabbat services, YOU SO LOSE. You might be fun to tell stories about but Jimmy Koh is the bomb.
This guy LOVES CAMERAS. He loves Rolleiflexes, he loves Leica’s. He has an AMAZING collection of these cameras. So good that you have got to take the LIRR out to Bellmore and get your ass over to his shop to check it out.

Not to say that I didn’t have lots of fun last year amongst the madness but it looks like they really have their shit together on the organizational front which can only bode well for the days ahead.

Listen up, students. This post is all for you.

Huffington Post has put another nail in the coffin of the notion of a paying career in journalism. Now, instead of just contributing to the site for free (where does that $20+ million in seed money go?), would-be Huffington Post writers can pay for the chance to be an intern at the site.

Check under the cut for a video of him talking about his process as well as a behind the scenes of a shoot he did.

He was officially a fixer, but Raza Khan was far, far more than that.
