I shot my friends last month for their birthday celebration. It’s their second event and I’m glad that they chose me to shoot them again for their second annual celebration. It’s always fun working with them. We had a lot of fun.

A photographer in Haiti is running a workshop and charges attendees $4000. He claims the workshop teaches photographers how to work and shoot in a disaster zone.
The photographer received more than 60 hate mail type responses in his blog entry, which he quickly deleted. Good thing Google chaches everything.
Wired Magazine wrote an article about this, and also, his rebuttal why he thinks his critics are wrong.
Personally, I think he draws the line where humanity ends and capitalism begins. It’s not wrong to document things as they happen if that’s what you do for a living, but somehow, the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

This seems to have a good discussion about the rights of photographers in public.
While I respect the photographer’s advocacy, I believe he went there with the intention of being confronted. I don’t know about you guys, but I generally don’t go out shooting with a hidden camera.
I understand that while the cop was just there to do his job, he is rather ignorant of the photographer’s rights. The photographer could’ve been friendly and swallowed his pride a bit and answered the cop’s questions and informed him about photographers’ rights and have avoided the scandal.

This is a mid-late 80’s interlocking Jollibee train set that came along with their kiddie meals.
My sister found this last week. I may have played with a couple of them because of the grime and dirt; but I’m not entirely sure if I even got to play with these at all because some of them were still sealed.
I decided to take a picture of these in all its glory — grime, dust, dirt and all for posterity’s sake. Washing these might take the paint off or something.
Light info: 1 light camera right and a small white card fill on the left. shot at F/16, 1/160, ISO100

I find it funny how 2 art students would win a photojournalism contest and then reveal that all the pictures that they submitted were staged. The British Journal of Photography writes about it here.
What I find interesting here is that the winners studied the winning pieces and photojournalism’s cliches. I know that this would probably spark a lot of talks and hopefully, progress.

This picture was supposed to be used for an ID that turned into a glamor type portrait. I guess I’m just looking for reasons to shoot.
The set-up was fairly easy — 1 softbox on top and 1 reflector below to bounce the light. 1 softbox to light the background to make editing easy.
Personally, I think that the exposure is around +1/3, give or take, on the highlights. With some make up and what not this would’ve been perfect.

Photography Olympus E-P1 (Digital Pen) No Comments
Looks like Olympus is catching up with the market. The Olympus E-P1 (Digital Pen) seems like it’s one of the most advanced point-and-shoot cameras so far.
Advantages of this over other leading non-dSLRs in the market is the interchangeable lenses, this uses the same sensor as some of their dslrs, HD video capture, multiple exposures, and being able to create slideshow movies in-camera. Seriously, this one is much better than the dSLR that Im’ using right now, although I doubt that clients will take me seriously if they see me using this one.
The camera doesn’t have a built-in pop up flash but it does have a hot shoe. An external flash is sold separately. Alternatively, you can snap a flash trigger there and use speedlites/studio strobes to go off camera — functioning exactly just like any other dSLR.

Photography, Quicklinks No Comments
Invesp lists down Top Photography Blogs. If you’re done reading all the articles in your RSS reader, then I would suggest that you visit the list and add some more sites like I did.
Apparently, Invep sampled 20,000 sites and based their calculations based on RSS memberships, Yahoo incoming links, Google PageRanks, etc. One thing that you might want to take note of, is that a lot of these sites are actually technical/gear/tutorial sites. Although there is nothing wrong with that, but there are some really nice photography sites that are not included in the list — most of which just simply feature their portfolios.

Had some free time today to do an exercise. This one’s probably one of the most challenging table top photography I had to do because of the set up. But it gets easy once you get the hang of it.
