Now that the US is out of the world cup I need something to make the rest of the games more exciting.  Because when watching the US matches, every minute was really exciting (especially with their tendency to go down a goal early).  But now I find that I’m just not that into the games.  They’re still fun to watch, but I have nothing vested in them.

So, to make the World Cup a bit more exciting for me I’m going be offering free prints via Twitter to randomly chosen people who retweet about the giveaway and my selected team loses.  This should increase my excitement a bit since I don’t particularly want to take the time to make and send out free prints.  So, stay tuned to my Twitter feed during select matches and maybe you’ll get a free 5×6 print of one of the images above.

More about my prints here.

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):

Here is the voting page:
http://www.pingg.com/content/san-frans-finest-vote-now/

Of course, I have no way of knowing if you actually voted for me… and you should vote for the picture you like best, but if you win the camera and can live with yourself, that’s between you and your therapist.  Then again… if I don’t win, you don’t win.

What’s that you say?  You don’t tweet?  What, do you have a life or something?  Well, if you don’t tweet you can also leave a comment in the comment section and that will count as an entry.  But, a retweet and a comment will get you two entries.

Oh, and if you want a print of the Golden Gate Bridge image, click here.

The Fine print:  There is no fine print.  I’ll even pay for shipping.  But, if I don’t win the camera, then I don’t give one away.  The voting ends December 14th, so hurry on over and vote.

Here’s one more for the revival of film. The folks over at The Impossible Project are in the process of bringing back Polaroid film. Here’s to hoping they’ll have something like Type-55.

Head over to their website and show your support:

They say you can learn as much about the photographer who takes a picture as you do about the person being photographed. I was never really sure about that, especially when it came to my work. What did my images say about me?Then one day my friend and assistant Emily Merrill said something that struck a chord with me. She said that I’m always trying to make people look cool. I never really thought about it, I just did what I did. But in looking back at most of my photographs, I can see some truth to it, for the most part. I’m not talking about some kind of ultra-look-at-how-cool-I-am kind of cool. To me its a subtle cool. My subjects tend to look like they don’t give a crap. And in particular, they don’t give a crap about being cool. Because, anyone who gives a crap about being cool, isn’t cool.If pressed, I would say that this subconscious desire to make people look cool stems from my lack of coolness. I mean, I think I’m cool, but doesn’t everybody think they’re cool? Unlike a lot of people, I can admit that outside my own head, I’m not cool. Usually it’s high school where people become paranoid about coolness. I wasn’t unpopular in high-school. I wasn’t one of the kids that all the cool people made fun of. I wasn’t one of the cool kids either. I wasn’t particularly anything. I was pretty shy back then and I had my few friends and that was about it. So, not a dork, not cool… just, there.Oh, don’t think I’m trying to pour my heart out here and get sympathy for feeling left out in high-school (who wasn’t… and I’m not talking to you Johnny Tango, we know you were cool in high-school). But if I had to pinpoint where my preoccupation (if you can call it that) for coolness began, that would be it.So now that I have this realization about my images, how will this affect the way I work? Will I now attempt to knowingly make people look cool, when before it was just the way I worked. If I do that, things may seemed forced. And anytime something is forced, it doesn’t usually work. Who knows. Maybe I should do the opposite, maybe I should make people look uncool or quirky. I just don’t feel like that would be me. So, maybe I should just get out of my head and do what I do.What I listened to last week:The Rolling Stones, Exile On Main St.What I watched last week:Mad MenWhat I read last week:Image Makers, Image Takers
