January 22, 2010 By Leave a Comment

When I was in high school one of my first assignments as a school (and town’s newspaper) sports photographer was to shoot our team’s first football game of the season. During the game one of our players was injured and was put in the back of an ambulance. Team emotions ran high.  But, even at [...]

Austin Band Editorial Shoot

January 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Yesterday’s photo shoot was interesting in many ways, but not for the usual creative reasons.  I was assigned to shoot an editorial of an Austin band that may or may not, as is always the case, “make it big” in the coming months. Having been at this for the better part of 25 years, I [...]

January 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment

When I first became seriously interested in taking pictures (back in the late 70s), I remember how some older photographers were worried about the new technology coming out.

January 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Iconic magazines not selling enough ads to stay in business?  How about cutting out the waste, increasing the value of the content, then charge for that content?  I buy magazines that cost way more than $5.  But they’re really, really good magazines.   Not bloated with ads, but rather filled with quality writing and photography.   The [...]
