So this crazy story is blowing up; and because it's a South African photographer, I'd like to share it here with you https://petapixel.com/2023/04/12/divorced-woman-demands-refund-from-wedding-photographer-4-years-later/ It is really worth the read! And the story doesn't have an ending yet...

Mik Critchlow has passed away aged 68 (frightening.....same age as me!). He documented the hard lives of the working class folk; especially miners, in the north east of the country. He has left a legacy of wonderful material for future historians to look back on and comment "Did people really...

Hello. So this Friday I shot a friend's wedding, it was a very short event with only 8 and 1/2 people (their 2-year-old daughter was with them) at the local registry. There was no church or main event. Unfortunately, the couple was giving me low expectations and organization on what they wanted...

I met a retired photojournalist / press photographer, he regaled me for 2.5hrs with fantastic stories of his time as a working photographer during film photography's heyday. He also told me he doesn't understand Lightroom. He joined a local photography club and attended some of their...

Not good country to be amateur photographer 😳 And as a bonus, Finnish professionals awarded with other prizes as well ending to be the one most successful country in one year in the competition history https://www.europeanphotographers.eu/competition-gallery/fep-awards-2021-results/

Nice article on DPR about the new presidential photographer: https://www.dpreview.com/interviews/2622047235/interview-joe-biden-s-official-photographer-adam-schultz His kit is three Sony A9II bodies, the 16-35 2.8, the 85 1.4, and the 100-400. He also keeps a 24-105 f4 as "back up". Not...

The theme of my early morning devotional last Wednesday was "patient endurance." I remember thinking: "doesn't sound like fun to me." At noon, coming back from a doctor's appointment, the better half says, "better check your messages." There is a call from an editor at The Conservationist...

Really good documentary film. I had never heard of him until I saw this: He is mentioned here too: https://www.youtube.com./watch?v=tT0ob3cHPmE

At a family social event this past weekend I had a situation where somebody went out of their way to make a point of, and then nearly insist, on a few things that I should be taking pictures of. It was an extremely uncomfortable situation for me for a number of reasons (let's just say that in...

Well, here's a weird story that crosses my sci-fi geek side with my Cameraderie geek side... a photographer has encountered a new foe to deal with, so-called Flat Earthers. 🌏 The "Cliff Notes" is that photographer completed a project working with NASA of photographing artifacts from NASA's...

BBC news has posted their "Food Photographer of the Year 2019". Based on the title of the page I was expecting something a bit more along the lines of typical "millennial tacking a picture of their dinner", instead it's an international diverse collection of scenes involving food in some...

The thread -- I don't want to teach grandma to suck eggs but ..... -- got me going on this. I responded to it as follows: "I like HCB's thought: "You don't take a photograph, the photograph takes you." Exact quote: “A photograph is neither taken or seized by force. It offers itself up. It is...

Most shows don't really catch my attention, to be honest, but if I was near Denver I think I'd have to check this one out. I think even my wife would go with me. Photographer Lyle Owerko has a show going on with the subject of boomboxes. 📻 Yes, the symbol of music in the 80's, those big clunky...
