This is one of the smartest examples of what it is like to be in the commercial photography business. Now I want to be the client! The only thing missing here is some banter about rights and usage. “Yes I want this video but I need to be able to see all of the others for no additional fee. You gotta work with me here!”

My friend George Anderson sent this to me from this smithsonian blog. It is right on the mark. I do have to say that my head is still partly stuck in the “don’t let it out the door mentality”. What do you think?
I have booked my tickets… you? Don’t forget about eye tattoos as well, for feelunique.com. Great advertising space.

a few weeks ago dylan’s mother called me to say that everyone wanted to do an update to our mirror picture from 2001 that’s in the hearts book. it turns out dylan and his family were going to be visiting mario in camarillo on memorial day and we took that as a perfect opportunity to duplicate our previous efforts. it’s funny to see the difference – amazing, and funny and strange…

BREAKING NEWS, May 6, 2008 – The House is meeting tomorrow 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 7, 2008, 2141 Rayburn House Office Building markup of H.R. 5889, the “Orphan Works Act of 2008″
This means that if you oppose the House Bill as it stands, it is extremely important to make your voice heard before that meeting begins.
At this time, it is understood that the House believes that photographers and other visual artists including their trade associations are in agreement with the current bills. APA opposes both the House and Senate bills as written.
Please take a moment to be heard via a prepared letter of your choice, or by including your own reasoned thoughts in a professional courteous manner.
This link <http://capwiz.com/illustratorspartnership/home/> will allow you to be heard.
Scroll down about half way to see “For Photographers”.
It is important to be heard. It is your future.

MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don’t lose inches and pounds overnight. It’s the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.

Paula Scher is a powerhouse designer, having worked for the vernerable Pentagram for years.
“There were a couple things that really struck me when I saw the maps by Scher. The immense scale was the first thing that hit me. Between that and all the layers of information and colour it was really mesmerizing. It was one of the few times when I was drawn into the work and really just got sucked in. I didn’t spend hours with the work but I’ll definitely visit those maps again before the end of the show. I also managed to get a gallery catalogue of all the maps. Reflecting the scale of the show, the book is quite large as well. ” Quote from designnotes

A must view is the commercial photography work of Quentin Shih in China. It reminds me of the quality, excitement and creativity of work from New York City but from the Asian point of view.
Great design and illustration on a wonderfully simple website.

For seven straight days, Jonathan Harris took at least one photograph every five minutes on an Alaskan whale hunt. In the process, he may have reinvented how we tell stories. Magnificent.
I have to admit I did not get it the first time I viewed it. But now that I understand the concept I do enjoy the process of viewing this unique site. You have to go to the website to begin to understand what you are looking at above.
