This is my pumpkin for halloween.
Yes. That is my hasselblad 503cx. I am the biggest geek on earth. Thats ok with me.
On another note, we all know what has been going on with the economy right now. Much of us are out of work. I am out of work. Its not fun for anyone.
My industry is crumbling right now. Photographers who have long been known for their talent and known for being paid VERY well for what they do are now filing for bankruptcy. Just today Markus Klinko and Indrani filed for bankruptcy. Annie Leibovitz even has her images on lean and if she doesn’t pay her bills she will lose her rights to everything she has worked for. Much of the pros I have worked with or know have either had to switch to video, sold everything they can, or have even left the industry entirely.
Calumet has even left Santa Barbara due to not enough students coming into Brooks Institute of Photography. This may not have any significance to you but they were one of the lifelines to us.
These things are hard to hear. That is another reason why I am changing paces as well and moving to Chicago this next week. I can’t freelance anymore. I am very much scraping by here in ohio and cannot afford to move back to NY or back to LA. Chicago is such a mecca and it is but 4 hours away. I hope it will be my last bastion. I have many friends there who I know and trust and I have a job opportunity at Calumet.
I am scared. I’m broke and going to be living out of a camera bag a suitcase again, which isn’t hard for me to do but gets tiresome quickly. I have faith this will work. It has to work. I do not have many options left if it doesn’t.
If any of you live in the chicago area and have some heads up about it, information on the best parts of town to live in (i’m shooting for buck-town), or generally want to catch up, feel free to email me. I would love to make some more friends in a new place.

‘You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs says
Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots…

if you havent heard this, you are missing out.
If there was ever a time that I needed to hear this message, it was now…excuse me while I swallow the lump in my throat..
Is it sad I had no idea my favorite animation firm was made by my favorite CEO? Damn. That was good.
oh how u fail microsoft
First Microsoft store. Are you kidding me? Can it look anymore like an Apple store? Holy shit.
Why does business always copy and not create? When you have that much money and people working for you, i think you can actually invest in some thought, microsoft.
Ralph Lauren has been the center of controversy ever since people found an ad they released only in Japan which featured a model re-touched to be impossibly thin. Now, the model in the ad, Filippa Hamilton, says she was fired for being fat and unable to fit their clothes. Ralph Lauren could do nothing but issue an apology, but they made sure to call Filippa fat in a nice way.
Polo Ralph Lauren said in a statement Tuesday night that Filippa is a “beautiful and healthy” woman but their relationship ended “as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us.”
“The image in question was mistakenly released and used in a department store in Japan and was not the approved image which ran in the U.S. We take full responsibility,” the statement said. “This error has absolutely no connection to our relationship with Filippa Hamilton.”
Another reason why I don’t use liquify unless its to fix clothes. We as photographers sometimes forget how much of an affect we have on others.
wow.
Just…wow.
People scare me sometimes.
This list of Republican Senators (and only this list) voted against an amendment offered by Sen. Al Franken which would withhold defense contracts from companies that “restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery, and discrimination cases to court.” A quick bit of background from wikipedia:
“According to Jones, on July 28, 2005, several of her fellow KBR employees offered her a drink containing a date rape drug, of which she took two sips. The men then allegedly engaged in unprotected anal and vaginal gang-rape upon her while she was unconscious. She was able to name one of her attackers based on his confession to her, but was unable to identify the others due to her unconsciousness. Further, the lawsuit filed by Jones’ attorneys cites the following: “When she awoke the next morning still affected by the drug, she found her body naked and severely bruised, with lacerations to her vagina and anus, blood running down her leg, her breast implants ruptured, and her pectoral muscles torn — which would later require reconstructive surgery. Upon walking to the rest room, she passed out again.” Jones’ account was confirmed by U.S. Army physician Jodi Schultz. Schultz gave the rape kit she used to gather evidence from Jones to KBR/Halliburton security forces, after which the rape kit disappeared. It was recovered two years later, but missing crucial photographs and notes.
Jones was confined by armed guards to a shipping container containing only a bed, under the orders of her employer, KBR. She says she was denied food, water, and medical treatment. After approximately one day, says Jones, a sympathetic guard gave her a cell phone and she called her father, Tom, who in turn contacted Representative Ted Poe (R-TX) who contacted the State Department. Agents were dispatched from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and removed Jones from KBR custody.
In May 2007, a State Department diplomat recovered the rape kit from Halliburton and KBR. However, notes and photographs taken by Schultz (of Jones the morning following her rape) were missing, undermining any chances of bringing the case through the criminal courts.”
If you aren’t outraged by this group, I don’t think I want to know you.
