I’m not big on compositing. I tend to like straight photography (although, now days you never can be too sure). Whenever I see a photographer who does those big time 52 images to make one image, I’m never really impressed. But, a lot of times I’ll go to the “personal work” section of their website and see straight images that I like.

I often don’t like images right away. Or, I’ll immediately like one image from a shoot better than another. Then, I’ll come across a set of images from a shoot months later and realize I do like the images or that I like an image I didn’t like at first better than the one I originally liked. This is one of the those images. Last night I came came across the image in my library and decided I liked it.

One of my pictures of The Golden Gate Bridge is a “finalist” for inclusion into Pingg’s San Francisco Designer Series. If my image wins the vote, I would get a Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR digital camera. Well, as we all know the best way to win any election is to buy your votes… so, if you head over to the Pingg voting page and vote for me and then retweet the following, I will give away the camera to one lucky person (if I win it that is):

There’s a lot of talk about email promo’s lately. Here, here, here, here and here. See what I mean. It seems the consensus is email promos aren’t very effective. I think that’s true to an extent. I’ve definitely seen the click through rate on my email promos drop from when i started doing them a few years ago.
