A while back, producing for youtube.com meant it really didn't matter what your original looked like: published it would like kinda crappy. Now they've added that "watch in high quality" link, and suddenly videos can look reasonably good. Not pristine, but not that bad.
Here's a video I helped with. It's part one of three. It includes Shirley, the world's most fantastic mannequin head.
On Friday, went into the studio to record a discussion about digital photography. We're now at the point where the outcome of film-versus-digital has been decided, so the more mature questions arise: what's actually different? has the role of the photographer changed? the function of the photograph? photography's place in society?
More on this topic soon....
It turns out there's an upside to the pipe bursting and flooding my desk: there's now an appropriate habitat for a ceiling cat.
After returning from Toronto, the week went well enough, with a few minor glitches here and there. For example, at one of my jobs a pipe burst and completely soaked my desk and two computers.
New York Institute of Photography has posted a podcast in which I talk on and on about street photography.
New York Institute of Photography posted a podcast where I talk about Inexpensive Lenses For Your DSLR.
Today New York Institute of Photography posted a podcast about me.
This? This is Shirley. She's been photographed by thousands.
She's recently gone into retirement (though most say she's kept her looks after all these years) and I'm considering doing a short documentary on her career.
If you've worked with Shirley, send me an email. If you've dated Shirley, send me an anonymous email. Or just post a comment.
