Chase Jarvis is DOPE!
January 13, 2010Found this video on Chase Jarvis’ Blog. He rented out a skatepark in seattle and sent out tweet via Twitter and the first 30 photographers to respond where invited out to shoot some skateboarding and use some equipment provided by him. SO DOPE! This has also given me to get off my but and do some shooting. more on that later. Check the video.

Lessons from Joe McNally
January 7, 2010On Nikon’s website I came across some great lighting tutorials from a favorite photographer of mines Joe McNally. He showcases the nikon CLS speed light system in all its awesomeness. Of course its kinda hard to replicate one shoot where he uses 16 speed lights. The videos can be view here, here, and here.
Raw Photography
January 6, 2010Found this video on a blog I frequent . Its about group a of guys that just live and breath photography. The images they create are really raw street photos. They don’t get hung up on what equipment to bring. They just shoot with what they got. Makes me want to go out into the city and shoot(if i wasn’t so freaking cold).
Back to work
January 5, 2010Today was the first day back to school for this year. Today I attended my Portfolio Development class. This class gives me preparation to show my off my work to potential clients and also prepare my graduation portfolio. Some former graduates that included Darren Carroll, Rosira Palmer,Peggy Attaway, Sarah Paulsen, Heather Sweet, and Brian Hall came in and talked to us and showed us there portfolios. I gained a lot of incite and ideas from these people. Something that was touched on today was the idea of focusing on what type of of photography do you want to shoot. I personally would like to focus on what got me into photography and that is skateboarding/sports and portraiture. Last year I was shooting for a multimedia assignment and I shot the image below. When i saw this I knew i wanted to push myself in that direction.
