You Mean Someone Actually Reads This Thing?
Well here’s something I wasn’t even aware of until people started telling me the saw my blog featured in Photoshelter’s Blog Handbook. So after thinking “Huh?!?!” to myself, I looked it up and sure enough there I was on page 23 as a case study. To my surprise the title wasn’t “Blog Case Study: What NOT To Do With Your Blog, Jeff Singer Is A Loser”
iPad: The Future Of Everything Everywhere
If this is the future of publishing… we’re screwed. Ok, maybe that’s a little over dramatic given the iPad has only been around for a couple weeks. But, taking a look at the ratings and comments on the current crop of magazines and newspapers available on the iPad, people aren’t too impressed. Obviously all of the magazines are still trying to figure things out… But I was hoping for something better than what we got for the iPad debut.
The biggest complaint in the user reviews… surprise surprise… was pricing. Yes, as hard as it is to believe, people don’t want to pay for anything anymore. It’s not even that they could get the same content for free on a website… I believe people would still complain about paying for things like news, photography, and media, even if all the free content were to go away. It’s just the unfortunate current mindset.
Investment Advisor Cover
The above image was used on the cover of the January 2010 issue of Investment Advisor (as if you couldn’t read).
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.
Love Then Hate, Hate Then Love
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.
Serious Guitar Face
As if regular guitar face wasn’t enough, here are a few out-takes from the Guitarists shoot I wrote about last week that made me laugh. Now that is some serious guitar face (more below).
