“Now that I’m home, and the road is behind me, I’d like to thank everyone I met who showed me a good time, and reminded me that we need no Orange King to make us great again. We’re pretty fucking great already.” Me, writing in this column, October 28, 2016   I never intended to be political. It wasn’t a plan. Or a move. But I was given this amazing opportunity, to write for thousands of smart artists, editors, writers, educators and photographers, and I’ve always taken it seriously So speaking my mind, with respect to politics, was a natural evolution. Why would I … [Read more...]

Aimee Baldridge, Wondeful Machine Want to rent some gear, get a permit to shoot in the park, or hire an assistant as an employee? You’ll need to get insurance for that — equipment, general liability, and worker’s compensation, to be exact. While you’re at it, pick up some coverage for the gear you own (equipment again), any studio equipment you have (business personal property), and the medical bills for anyone who might ever take a spill on set (general liability). But don’t stop there. Getting a data loss policy to help you recover work you’ve done might be smart. … [Read more...]

Catherine Losing Who printed it? I was super trashy and went through Vistaprint. Who designed it? I did. Tell me about the images? They are my favourite images from my portfolio over the past 3 years. A combination of editorial, personal projects, and commissions for names such as Vogue and MoMA. I’m always keen to include technical examples of my still life work with a variety of products as this is important to my commercial clients. However, I like to balance it out with more fun and creative shots as I often get hired to put my own spin on commissions. How many did … [Read more...]

  The high clouds came in this week. For the first time in Autumn.   It means the November rains and snows are nearly upon us. As we’re in a drought here in Northern New Mexico, and there is a fire on the other side of the mountains, it’s good that the moisture is finally coming. It makes much more sense, seasonally, to have the cold and the wet and the brown. Gray skies, so rare during the year, make sense in November, and as I write this on the back-side of October, (on a Thursday as usual,) bad weather “seems” more right than the extended-Summer we’ve been having … [Read more...]
