I shot Inaudi for my second book. The point was to show how highlights create dimension and shape. I think this shows it pretty well.

First impressions: Lytro lives up to the hype
Lytro isn’t going to kill current digital photography–it’s just going to be a big, important part of changing it. People won’t forsake their digital cameras and replace everything with Lytro cameras (at least not those that are already in the process of being weeded out of the market), but we’re certain they will be adding it to their lineup. On the surface it might sound gimmicky, but at it’s core Lytro is a new step in the digital imaging evolution, and it’s going to shape the direction camera makers take their products
More disruptive technology on the way.
Hold on to your butts...

"Photographer Annie Leibovitz says project that became Smithsonian exhibit revived her spirit"
It’s a project I did for myself. I wanted to be seduced into a photograph and not make it up,” she said. “And I wanted to take my time.

Jake Stangel on Working Your Ass Off and Overnight Successes that take years - via APE
Well, it’s not like I just stepped into the club and everything started to pop off. It’s been alot alot alot of struggle and getting the angle of my Kangol hat just so and there have been lots of rainy mornings spent getting out of ruts and staying positive and directed. Just tons of hard work. That’s all I can really say. Everyone who you see doing well has worked incredibly hard to get to where they are in their career, they’re all on the grind.

After listening to the gloom all day, this is so refreshing.
"Chicago Woman Fired for Doing Work at Lunch" - I have no comment other than - Welcome to the CrazyAssTimes!

Seriously.
Fired for working.
That really explains Congress so much better to me.
"Average Is Over" - it just is. If you are shooting to be 'meh' you may as well put that camera on the pawn shop shelf.
In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra — their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment. Average is over.

Even the terribly ignorant Thomas Friedman gets it.
Of course his solution is to simply send everyone to college.
Yeah Tom, that'll work.
Idiot.

Creative Review : Analogue photography is not dead... it is just getting interesting for these photographers
Aliki Braine, Draw Me A Tree Black Out, 2006
At a time when many are mourning the demise of film and traditional photography techniques, an exhibition at this year's London Art Fair, Photo50, introduces a group of artists who are experimenting with analogue in new and unexpected ways...
I think this is pretty significant work. It most definitely should be seen.
Moving Back This Way
I shot this way for 25 years and then worked on new stuff.
I think I am going back to this work as my vision compels me more and more to be personal in my approach, and natural in my presentation.
Nostalgia?
Pragmatic surrender?

21 Years Ago She Posed For Me For an Ad
I believe it was for one of the local TV stations.
She will be 25 this year. We are going to lunch Wednesday.
Just feeling a little nostalgic after going through a lot of old images in boxes at the studio. So many memories...
Daddy loves you, Shanna.
