First let me apologize not keeping up with this blog. I know I announced that for a New Years Resolution I was going to post twice a week but that was before I got socked with a ton of catalog assignments.

It might be a couple of more weeks till things quiet down and I am able to get back on course. That being said I thought I would jot down a quick “What’s New” post.

For a a starter, on Feb 16th I was voted in as the new President of the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers). David Seide, the previous President wanted to step down after holding the post for the past few years.

The next piece of news is that I have added a new page to this site. “This Day in Photography’s History” calendar will list famous dates in photography. Although I don’t have events for everyday of the year…Yet. I will be growing this as more dates are made aware to me. If you know of any special events in photography please feel free to leave them in the comments section on the page. I originally started populating this on my hotmail calendar but decided that a Google calendar would work better. Unfortunately I cannot export the dated from one and import into Google, so I am stuck having to add them in one at a time, when I have time.

Finally, I have recently bought a new Droid phone and I am loving it. So look for more photos taken with it’s 5 MP camera.

Well, that’s about it for now. I promise I will be back to a regular publishing schedule soon.

 I was reading Chris Anderson’s article “The New Industrial Revolution” in the latest issue of Wired http://www.wired.com/ . The article goes on about how more companies are able to custom make products, cheaper and faster. At first I thought GREAT, more products, more photography.
Then I read this “a researcher at the University of Cambridge has developed [...]

A lot has been said about Apple’s new iPad. I’m just going to make one point. If this is suppose to be a new mobile device, then why do all the demos only show it being used while sitting and not standing, let alone while walking. Doesn’t seem too mobile to me. What do you [...]

Sorry I haven’t much time to post here. Usually 1Q is my busy time.
I would like to take a sec and see if anyone can help with some wordpress customization.
What I am looking for is to seamlessly intetgrate my WP blog with my PhotoShelter gallery. I need this blog to have the same look as [...]

Ok, I’ll admit it; the headline for this post is clearly Link Baiting. (Link Baiting is when you post a headline to grab attention and thus bump up your stats.)
NowI admit it,  I’ve done my share of nudesin the past and I’ve done them because I enjoy it as an art form.
But I wonder, does photographing [...]

This is a word I have heard questioned a number of times. I think what most are really asking themselves is Am I Credible?
That being published makes them more credible.
Now for the sake of argument, lets say you want to become a General member in the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers) requires the following,
General [...]

What is Glamour photography?
 I’ll keep this one plain and simple. Glamour, to me, is another way to say beautiful. Glamour photography is to present a subject in its most beautiful way. I know some who say that Glamour means nude, but not me. Glamour can be nude but doesn’t have to be. Glamour Nude, Glamour [...]

 Going along with my recent post about offending people, I’m sure this one will.
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then it makes sense that the same can be said about Art and Pornography.�
What is Art? Is your definition the same as mine? You may like something that I don’t and vice versa. [...]

I just recently came across the work of Photographer  Aleksey Kozlov and Marina Khlebnikova (by way of the Art Nudes blog http://artnudes.blogspot.com/ ) and all I can say is… I am in Awe
This is some of the most stunning photography I have ever seen. I highly urge you to take time and view this incredible body of [...]

As the saying goes, “you can please some of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time”
 Well the same can be said for offending people, especially if you work in any of the creative/artistic fields. Sooner [...]
