How I (really) use my camera
Over the past week, a number of different ideas, sources, and comments have been rattling around my brain before finally coalescing into a single, hopefully coherent thought. This is a little long-winded, so bear with me. I’ve been thinking about how I use my camera. How I really use it, the features and settings that [...]
Pecha Kucha Night Scranton
Pecha Kucha Night Scranton was a HUGE success and a heck of a lot of fun! My presentation, complete with narrative, is posted on my professional site – click the image above to jump over there and take a look.
Introducing Paul Sevensky
I’m thrilled to introduce The Roving Photographer’s first-ever staff writer: Paul Sevensky. Paul is a familiar face around here already – or at least a familiar reference, being a frequent companion on my photo outings and someone I bounce ideas off of. (In fact, he was the genius behind my last post.) He’ll be joining [...]
Some Mixed Thoughts
Time for one of “those” posts again, where I share a random mix of photos and ideas that have caught my attention over the past few weeks. As I’ve mentioned before, I spend a lot of time each week keeping up with other photography blogs, which I find to be a wealth of both information [...]
Pecha Kucha Night Scranton
Some shameless self-promotion – I’ll be presenting at Pecha Kucha Scranton on Saturday, January 28th. If you haven’t heard of Pecha Kucha before (and I certainly hadn’t), it’s a series of presentations, each exactly six minutes & forty seconds in length and composed of 20 slides. Think TED, but rapid-fire. The Scranton event will include [...]
Black & White Nature
Christmas Eve is a time for family – but by strict definition, evening doesn’t actually start until sundown, which leaves the entire day free. I snuck out for a couple of hours mid-day to visit Kennedy Creek, in hope of finding some winter-ish scenes. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any snow – not even any ice. Mid [...]
Best of 2011
Another year has passed, another trip around the sun, and another few thousand photos taken. It’d be cliche to make any grand, sweeping statements about the year; there were highs and lows, amazing moments captured and others missed, lessons learned and re-learned. Looking back through my favorite images, there are some good memories. There’s also [...]
Inspiration File
I am an inveterate net surfer when it comes to photography. Blogs, news feeds, forums, Flickr, magazines – they’re all fair game, so long as the photos are interesting. On one level I suppose it’s just entertainment, but on another it’s a way to keep a finger on the pulse of the industry, and perhaps [...]
Mixed Thoughts Thursday
I’ve been editing since my hip-hop shoot ended Saturday afternoon and I’m still not finished, nor have I had the chance to pick up the camera since. Some weeks life just steamrolls you; others, it smacks you around a little but won’t drop you. This is turning into one of the latter. So until I’m [...]
Kelby’s LRS Tour Rocks
So after spending five solid hours in Manhattan’s Javits Center with 950 other photographers, I can tell you that Scott Kelby’s “Light it, Shoot it, Retouch it Tour” rocked. In a major way. As in, it was time and money very well spent. Sadly I don’t have any photos to share; I didn’t shoot any [...]
