Rob: I want to talk with you about the post you made last week on your blog (here) where you asked people to guess the camera you used to make an image then revealed it was a frame grab from the Red Epic M digital cinema camera. Vincent: First of all, thi
For a quick background, I’m a features photographer at The Arizona Republic in Phoenix. It means that I do most of my work for our features sections (food, fashion, lifestyle) and our monthly glossy magazine AZ Magazine. It’s a very atypical newspaper job, but I really enjoy it. This also means that I’m lighting more often than not. Because it’s Phoenix, and usually very hot, most of my assignments are indoors, so there’s not always the need for the big monoblock strobes. Yes, they still sit in my car, but I’m not using them twice a day anymore…more like once a week.

Individuals who physically remove credit lines attached to photographs violate a federal law that prevents people from stripping out copyright ownership information from works, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia (3rd Cir.) ruled earlier this week.
With June 1st, the first day of hurricane season, quickly approaching I thought I’d jot down some of the things I’ve picked up over the years as a Florida-based photojournalist covering hurricanes. Maybe these tips will help you; maybe they’ll get you into trouble. Who knows? But either way I hereby absolve myself of liability by stating that I’m not an expert, just a guy who has made a lot of mistakes when covering hurricanes… and has learned from *almost* every one.
Update: the “Decisive Moment” in Paris next week will actually be a two days event: June 21-22, 2011. The announcement of the Leica M9-P and the new 21mm M lens will happen in Paris next week. The event is organized by Leica Camera and Magnum Photos. I do
Jing Huang, born in Guangzhou and now a resident of Shenzhen, China, was just named as the recipient this year’s Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award. His self-selected portfolio of 12 black-and-white fine art images shot with his beloved Leica M4-P were chosen from over 2,000 entries.
Those two words seem to be the order of the day for just about any photography related equipment that is desirable these days. What is happening to the supply chain? What is happening to manufacturers? Is the system totally broken?
