A Baseball Star or a Pro Photog? You Decide...

The photos aren't the baseball equivalent of throwing a no-hitter, but there are some pretty good shots in the bunch...

You've Gotta Love That Double Truck!!!

There are a few things that an editorial photographer wants in life. He (or she) wants to work with a publication that is read by a lot of people. He wants to work on an assignment that is creative and challenging. He wants to be paid well for his services. And one of the biggest things he wants? He wants the photos to run big!!!

Besides scoring a magazine cover, which feels amazing, the next best thing is to see your pictures run as a double truck! When an image is printed large enough that it spills over onto a second page, well... that's just heaven to an editorial photographer.

This environmental portrait is of a gentleman named Adrian Butler, who works hand in hand with the hotel industry (that's why he was shot in a hotel room). He was very nice and easy to work with. The rest of the images that ran in this issue look great, too. Maybe I'll scan them in and share them later. But for now, enjoy this double truck:

Now, Sigma isn't the only option for a circular fisheye...

You Can't Shoot Them All...

Tonight I got a request for a photo shoot that I had to refer to a fellow ASMP member. That's the second gig I had to turn down this week, because I was already booked. I know it happens every now and then, but it's painful to see good-paying gigs slip out of my hands. At least I know the people I refer these clients to will keep me in mind when the same happens to them...
