I was introduced to this video today when I was going through my Google Reader. It’s called Dark Side of the Lens from Astray Films.
It’s a pretty powerful short film. And I love the way it was put together. The way the voice-over and music is very inspiring and to the point. It makes me want to put on a wetsuit and jump in to frothing 5°C water and take pictures. And for those that don’t know me personally, I get cold pretty easily. The film has been out for about 6 months now and has over 671,000 views, over 12,500 of which were yesterday. If you like water, surfing, rugged coastlines, beautiful imagery, or inspirational videos then this is a must watch. Thanks to Chase Jarvis for posting this on his blog.

Tasty Tuesday #16
Here’s an outtake from a portrait session with Kaitlyn. We were getting near the end of the shoot and we were both a little tired I gave her the stereotypical “you’re a lion” pose to work with and this was the result. Priceless.
For those of you just catching on to what a Tasty Tuesday is all about. Here’s the rundown: scroll through your archives until you find an outtake, random image, second choice, or happy mistake and then post it on Tuesday. The goal is to keep it up weekly.

Editorial Photography
Textbooks define editorial photography as interpreting the facts of a magazine article in a creative way. For me, it is all about telling stories. Editorial photography should engage viewers and interact with them. It should prompt the audience to imagine how the story unfolds, who the person is, and how they can find out more. That’s partly what my little project called “Who Are You?” is all about. Using photography to tell the viewer a story. The story is you.
This is Eve. She has a dog named Elsa and she loves cooking and photography. What else can she tell you?

Facebook vs. the Job Interview
We’ve all been told before that story of how someone was not hired (or fired, demoted, sued, etc.) because of something that their soon-to-be employer (or former employer) saw on Facebook or some other social media site. It’s not uncommon for an employer to “Google” an applicant prior to offering them a job. So, you’ve gone and “removed” all that incriminating evidence. Now what? My thoughts are that you should flood it with good stuff. The stuff that employers want to see from a bright, committed, respectable and trustworthy team player such as yourself. I’d start off with a great profile picture from Kerr Photography (it’s the first thing I look at).
Who would you hire?

Old Town
When I was in Sydney this past October, I spent one afternoon wandering around The Rocks. It’s the oldest part of Sydney (or Australia) in terms of European views. It was also the day of the Melbourne Cup. The streets were crowded with people celebrating the race, and they were all dressed to the nines. Below is one of my pictures from this afternoon.
A simple door that led to a patio. It used to be a General Store, now it’s a museum. The door doesn’t work (I tried), but I’d like to think that the deliveries came through there from the back ally.

Photos By…
One photographic aspect of my life that I’ve been struggling with for the past couple weeks is my editing. That is, narrowing down which images are the best, worst, alright, etc. I have been trying to decide on a couple of pictures for the “Photos By…” competition that the Victoria Boulevard Magazine hosts each year. It’s purpose is to focus on more personal images, rather than professional work. In that case, I’ve chosen to go with some images that speak as to what I’ve done over the past year.
