Flickr might be a fun place to share your photography with the world, but it’s not a tool for business. If you’re starting to get serious with your images, and if you’re interested in the possibility of making money from your craft, then you may want to consider “graduating from Flickr.”

I so wanted to laugh at the IPS, or Inflatable Photo Studio, when I saw it. Luckily it is easy to do so. The giant black plastic balloon is actually ideal for quickly setting up a controlled shooting environment in minutes, but its website is as laughable

I so wanted to laugh at the IPS, or Inflatable Photo Studio, when I saw it. Luckily it is easy to do so. The giant black plastic balloon is actually ideal for quickly setting up a controlled shooting environment in minutes, but its website is as laughable as the machinations of the fashion-industry itself.
John Adkisson was the 2010 summer photography intern at the Los Angeles Times:
This may seem obvious, but I think the biggest thing that I learned is to not bore the editors. At that level of editing, they’ve pretty much seen it all. What they want to see is something they haven’t seen.

I really enjoyed Bill’s talk at the workshop, he spoke about caring a camera on you at all times, and how everyday we need to “practice seeing”
Without getting into the enforceability of this particular clause, let’s break this down into plain English: if you photograph the band and the band wants your pictures, you agree to turn them over. For free. For whatever use they see fit. Without limitation.

In case you’ve somehow missed exploring Jessica Hines’ comprehensive body of work, My Brother’s War, it is being well celebrated this year.
The AFP stand point of view illustrates the obsolescence of a model, the blindness of few disillusioned veterans, who try to stop any kind of progress. Things cannot be like they were at the last century, in an analog world; they eventually will evolve, with or without their consent.
