#147 “But seriously…”

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

It’s getting cool in the Ottawa area – dropping below 0C some nights.

My wife was driving her 125cc scooter to town and asked “What should I wear?” Considering the wind chill and cool temperature I made my suggestions that involved ‘significant insulation’. She responded “But seriously, what should I wear?”

Scooter

What has scooting got to do with photography? My wife’s response was similar to student’s reaction when I am teaching outside at this time of year. Creating photos while standing still takes extra insulation to stay warm – usually more than people expect!

I sent Saturday’s Night Light photo course students my “Warm Photos from Winter’s Cold” article from ‘Exposed!

The students (and my wife) are learning the fine art of staying warm in the cold.

Winter warmth!

Winter is coming!

#142 – A big camera!

Monday, October 13th, 2008

John Chiara is a photographer with a very, very, very large camera.

I found his story through PhotographyVoter.com – John has built a camera so large he moves it with a truck and climbs inside to mount the film! See his video story.

Also, our Exposed! Photo Newsletter comes out this week: “Boom went the colour! How to create vibrant photos.” We uncover secrets of pumping up your pictures. Sign up to receive ‘Exposed!’ at the top, right of this page.

#111 Exposed! and Iceland – a different perspective.

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

First, Exposed! went out late last night to most subscribers. You can subscribe at the top of this page – it’s free. This month’s article is:

Photography Hell in Heaven.

Second, I came across ANOTHER Iceland adventure blog (Aug 12/08) that recounts about their experiences in “NICEland.” Amy includes photos and stories of their July trip. If you look closely, ahem, you may see me “on vacation.”

#110 Reykjavik Marathon and Exposed!

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

I got an e-mail from Canadians Luc-Rock and Michelle who found my Iceland blog reports – they are on their way to the Reykjavik marathon in August. They have a new blog to chronicle their Icelandic marathon adventures and are billing it as the Marathon for Gaby.

My photo newsletter, ‘Exposed!’ goes out very soon – a link will be posted tomorrow to:

Photography Hell in Heaven” – an Icelandic photo story and challenge for those wishing to spark their photo creativity.

#76 ‘Google’ for photos

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Exposed! photo newsletter went out late last night – New subscribers will receive the newsletter today or tomorrow! Older issues are available for reading on my site.

I recently discovered a website that searches the web for your pictures. It’s like google for your photos. Tineye scans the world wide web for other placements of your photos. Quite amazing and has great applications for working photographers!

The site is new and growing – ie it is in beta format and there is still some growth needed before it is fully comprehensive. You need to register, but give it a whirl!

#73 I am not old!!!

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

It keeps happening.

It happened again on the weekend.

I met a reader of my ‘Exposed!’ articles, blog, etc. and she exclaimed “I thought you were much older!”

Based on my writing people seem to think I am much older than my actual and youthful 39.9 years. And I am not sure why!

To show my youthful complection see some fine photos people have taken of me:

Am I being touchy with my 40th birthday looming!? Dunno. I am perplexed as to why people imagine I am much older than I feel.

Have fun. Celebrate your years,

#68 Photographers beware!

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Everybody’s out to save a buck – even large multinational corporations – and photographers seem to be easy targets!

I was cruising photographervoter last week and came across a link to Lightchasers – a Phillipines based photo web site. They posted a story about a large US based oil firm that has asked the public to donate photos to the company for commercial use. The payment? – a ‘chance’ to win a prize.

It gets worse – please read the posting and just say no to donating photos to large business looking to save the price of well executed photo work!!

For more info read my recent photo newsletter article on the ‘Value of Photography.’

In other news there will be new work posted on ChelseaGallery.ca soon. One of the new prints soon to be available:

Have fun,

Harry
