the creamsicle strikes back
Redlights and Redeyes If I walk away with the same pictures I’ve made before I feel like a complete failure.

black and white friday
Redlights and Redeyes I need an intervention. I went to land of red – Super Target – and converted everything to black-and-white. I must be in a post-turkey, up all night haze.

legoland florida (aka primary color heaven)
Redlights and Redeyes: My main objective is to make compelling imagery that tells the story…sound familiar? I’m just telling it from a different point-of-view, ironically ending up on the same pages where my photojournalism used to appear.

50mm on the 50 yard line
Chip: I don’t know why I never did this at the paper more, but running around the sidelines with a 50mm was a very welcome break from tradition – even though its about as traditional a lens as you get.

on self-assignments (with a side of mud, booze, and rednecks)
Chip Litherland: What’s the point? The photography business can be a rat race. There are tens of thousands of photographers out there doing exactly what you and I do. Everyone has one unique thing – a vision. That vision can be driven by ego, competition, passion, fear, curiosity, artistry, adversity, and talent. What drives yours?…

It’s Guest Blog Wednesday featuring Chip Litherland! « Scott Kelby
Working as a staff photojournalist has its challenges. How do you stay inspired, happy, and passionate about photographing a white guy in a suit standing in front of a building? How can you make compelling images that give your photo subjects a voice in their own community when you can only stay for only 10…

zut alors! | Redlights and Redeyes
I spent the weekend in Saint Martin/St. Maarten (depending on which side of the island you are on) for an amazing wedding shoot. Dear God, that place is gorgeous. This is coming from a guy who lives on the beaches of Florida. Link: zut alors! | Redlights and Redeyes

houston deconstructed | Redlights and Redeyes
I was in Houston, Texas, to shoot a wedding this weekend for a quick 36 hours. On Saturday, I took advantage of being a father and not being able to sleep in for the life of me. I woke up early, grabbed a 5D Mark II, a 50mm f/1.4 and just wandered with no direction.…

i’ll just shoot some weddings | Redlights and Redeyes
Obviously, the newspaper and magazine world is in flux. Photographers are ducking for cover and holding onto staff positions when they can and others frantically preparing exit plans when they finally pull the eject lever. Some have that lever pulled for them and are left floating through the air with a “What now?” look on…

bitter and then some | Redlights and Redeyes
What I’ve learned from the last month of blogging and saying what I feel is that all of a sudden I become the bitter, cranky photographer trying to suck all the fun out of photography and make people quit their jobs. Trust me, if anyone did something because I said it, then I would be…

pushing the box while thinking outside the envelope – Shooting from the Hip
I guess I am pondering creativity tonight because of a comment one of my favorite photographers, Chip Litherland, made recently on aphotoaday, an online community of mostly young photographers. Link: pushing the box while thinking outside the envelope – Shooting from the Hip

ikea and the fair | Redlights and Redeyes
I’m not exactly sure what it is about shooting at fairs that makes it difficult. Honestly, it has to be visual overload. Sometimes there is just too much going on to really concentrate on a particular moment – carnival workers yelling at you, a big vat of teen angst and love, unreal smells, ridiculous clutter…

roll tide | Redlights and Redeyes
I was sweating out a prep football practice here in Florida when ESPN the Mag called with a cool last minute assignment. Always fun to see their name on the caller I.D. I was to jet off to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for the weekend to cover the University of Alabama Crimson Tide take on their bitter…

a flight and a crash | Redlights and Redeyes
Chip Litherland says: This one game provided a few outs for me…luckily my chance of shooting with a wider lens from directly behind home helped me land the home plate leap. He was called safe. It was one of those moments where I felt the lens snap out of focus for a brief milli-second –…

Redlights and Redeyes
I’ve been staring at this photo by Florida photojournalist Chip Litherland for a few days now. I kept a browser window with his blog open, intending to post it. His blog always has something cool on it. Link: Redlights and Redeyes
