Happy New Year everybody. I hope that you have had a great Christmas holiday season and that your 2013 is off to a great start.
Around the Johnson household we had guests for good portions of the last month. That means test models for new lights and such, including my niece, above. New additions include a ring flash, mobile battery power for strobes and a few other goodies. Wherever you need studio-lit photos, we can do that.
I like Norman Rockwell's art, so I liked this collection of photos he used in the creation of his work.
Old meets new ... the marriage of an old Speed Graphic 4x5 camera and a Fuji digital mirrorless camera.
Interesting post by photographer Chris Crisman about failure. (via @davehillphoto)
Being a second-shooter includes the fun part of actual photography without the post-processing and marketing (or credit :). Here is some help in being good at it so that you will get called again.
And, while on that subject, there is a whole website dedicated to second-shooters. I added myself to their list but without any results so far.
Ahh, the value of photographs as propaganda. It happens everywhere, but North Korean dictators have it down to an art form :)
Actually, Russia's Vladimir Putin is probably tops in the political photo-op management business.
Meanwhile in the US, political photos get scrutinized and critiqued from every angle, especially if it looks like image manipulation.
Finally, cooperative photo subjects are great, and when they let you experiment a bit, even better. After getting some sunset photos with this cool character, he let me try something a little different...
Have a great week,
Don J.
