I was talking with the canon rep recently, and he suggested that I visit here for some cool videos and tutorials on the new gear:
Not everything should be judged by the paycheck…
I have a few clients that I don’t bill my normal corporate rate for. There are a few non-profit groups that get a special rate, and a rare few charities that get my pro bono work. Why? Well, sometimes it is better to help a worthy cause. Sometimes you will gain more from helping them in the long run (like networking with bigger, better clients during your non-profit help).
Forget about being a photographer at the moment…
I have several friends who were all just laid off earlier this week from a major newspaper (one of the biggest in the country). One of them was there for 34 years and was an amazing photographer.
Art Crawl…
I will have two pieces displayed in the upcoming Oak Cliff Art Crawl. You should try and attend the event:
Go Tonight!!!
I’ll be at the ASMP meeting tonight. If you are a Dallas area professional photographer (or a current photography student/assistant planning to become a pro shooter at some point), you NEED to attend ASMP meetings (and hopefully join them). For more info on tonight’s event, look here:
I am the law…
I shot more lawyers Tuesday. It’s getting to be quite a regular thing, between all my clients that need portraits of law professionals. Add to the fact that I’m starting to court a few law trade magazines, and I could go from being the big name in Dallas music photography to being the big name in Dallas law photography. That would be cool (no it wouldn’t – unless it paid a lot more, then it would).
A blog about Sarah writing a blog about me… confusing?!?
First look at the cover…
I’ve been sitting on this quietly, anxiously waiting for the first official press releases to come out. They finally have…
Saturday night…
OK, I’m about to turn off the computer and head out on some shoots. One assignment will be another video assignment. I’m anxious to build up a good video portfolio, so this will be fun. Another is your basic bread-and-butter event shoot (go take some pics, get some quotes from guests for cutlines and a short story, and then get out of there). The final is at a club downtown – where Shaquille O’Neal is supposed to be tonight (no, I’m not going as a Paparazzi, waiting behind the bushes to pounce on him. It is a regular newspaper assignment).
