More HD video that I shot at Saxon Pub a few weeks back. This is the second of four, so there’ll be a few more coming.

Attorney Ed Greenberg on Copyright, Model Releases, and Shooting in Public

This ought to be interesting for all you photographers out there.

Scott Kelby asked Attorney Ed Greenberg (who has over 30 years of experience on the topic) about copyright, model releases and shooting in public.

The result is two 10-minute video clips that you can watch here.

I highly recommend taking a look - there’s some really good information in there.

It feels good to be shooting again.

Height adjustable desk

I’m vaguely entertaining the idea of getting a new desk as part of moving to my new house.

Through some random occurrence on the internet, I came across these guys, who have manual and electrically-adjustable desks, in heights from about 25” to 50-some”.

Having just contacted Rockford (the local distributor) today to get price information, I came across this link in my RSS reader, not 30 minutes later….

Even though I don’t shoot film, it looks pretty sweet.

Late night photo shoot

“You know it’s a good photo shoot when the cops show up…”

Those were the fabled words after Saturday evening’s mini-shoot with Heather and Jordan. Turns out that 3 people standing around with umbrellas and stuff look suspicious enough to warrant the cops stop by to check it out.

Actually, someone called 911, the cops showed, and I had a conversation with a very nice public servant.

We were doing nothing wrong, not trespassing, and when I asked if we needed to leave, he sort-of shrugged his shoulders and indicated that he did not care.

All in a days work, I say.

Nomination Updates

First off, thank you all for the kind words regarding my fledgling photography. Seems I have rather high standards for myself. :)

As followup to the free trip to Strictly Business 2: I am sad to report that I did not make the cut.

It’s quite alright, perhaps I will pay my own way some day, when the need (or urge) becomes strong enough.

Fledgeling Photographer: f o t o t i c k r

Gary Cohen sat down and spent some time creating this bad-ass new Flickr viewing application.

The images sort of float up the screen, you can mouse over them and click through to pop them up on Flickr.

Check it out with my photostream here.

Fledgeling Photographer: Portraiture

Dominic — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 00:58:00 -0600

Last weekend, I spent a few hours with Holley, a friend of mine, and her boyfriend Chris.

It actually started with Holley and myself looking for a publically-accessible cemetary for some photographs, and afterwards we went back and picked up Chris, before they headed out on their 1-year dating anniversary date.

If you wish to see more of the pictures we shot, you can find them here.

Icelandic images

Dominic — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 10:13:00 -0600

One of my favorite photographers (and rather infamous for her rise to fame through flickr) is Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir. Her story is one of hard work, cold Icelandic nights and finally, fame.

Probably what she is most famous for, are her “clone” shots, and the Toyota Prius advertising campaign that she was awarded due to her shots.

She was recently interviewed by officialproductions.tv - but they appear to have taken down the video of her interview.

What’s up, guys?
