How to become Immortal, or The Photographer’s Life
I am a photographer.
I paint with light. I chase it like a hunter.
I capture time in increments as fast as 1/8000th of a sec,
and as long as Bulb.
With my magic of silver, dyes, and electrons.
A moment becomes forever by my hand. Read more…
Product Review: AdoramaPix
Adorama is a company that few Photographers will fail to recognize, and AdoramaPix should be a name just as recognizable. The first time I decided to order prints, I decided to go with Mpix, simply because they had the more notable reputation. After a small test print, I found Mpix’s service to be good, but the images I got back didn’t really Wow! me at all. My Wow! came later when I made the switch to AdoramaPix.com. Read more…
The apex … jackpot.
Usually, blogs about Photography are all about gear, glass, upgrades, critiques, and the endless Canon/Nikon/Other debates. I, like yourself, strive from day to day to enhance my craft. To hone the ability to draw with light wherever that light might be. You give it your heart, your soul, your eyes, and time. Forever with the time. Tweaking the light and exposure for minutes just to make those small snaps of time, when the shutter is open less than a second, pay off.
Occasionally, however, photography can land you in a spot where you have reached an apex. A point in time and space where the cosmos/nature are prepared to give you a rare Jackpot payout. To send a message, as if to say, “We’re watching you, keep up the good work.” For me, this happened yesterday. Read more…
Great Post on Pixel Pete’s Blog
This is an excellent post on the 10 most common mistakes made by Photographers.

The only one I would add to the list is not learning off camera lighting. Even if it is just using reflectors and available light, off camera lighting is very important, especially if you plan on doing portraits. Enjoy the post, it really is top notch!

FlashPost: Review of Blurb.com
So if you have been reading my blog since the start, you know that I recently published my first Photography book via Blurb.com. I made this decision because, in my opinion, it is a Green method of publishing and helps control freaks like myself main … well, control. Last week I recieved my first book in the mail and it has been waiting on me to go through and really scrutinize it. Read more…
FlashPost: How easy is that “glossy black” look?
So you think that those snazzy glossy black or white images can’t be pulled off without thousands in gear? Take a look at the below image. I call it “Tulip Deconstructed” and as you can see it sports that glossy reflection and solid black background, the kind that makes the subject really pop from the image.
If you still think these types of shots take tons of wallet draining gear, hit the Jump and think again. Read more…
