Pantone-inspired Christmas cards
December 22nd, 2009Ripped Off, or, I’ve hit the big time!
December 15th, 2009UPDATE: I was able to contact VCU and received a very quick and polite response. The image has been removed.
I guess you know you’re doing something right when a university steals your original photograph and uses it on the front page of their athletic department’s website.
Check out this screen shot of the Men’s Basketball page paying particular attention to the smaller image at the bottom center:
[I've removed this image since VCU fixed the problem.]
Now take a look at this image on RVANews’ Flickr account that I provided them from Saturday night’s game:
Can’t VCU find any photography students to take pictures for them? I’m not sure how to get in contact with the folks who make the website because there’s no obvious webmaster link or contact page. I’d be happy to let them use it if they pay me. Barring that, I’d like them to take down my image.
I wonder how many other photos they’ve misappropriated?
2009 Black and Blue Classic
December 13th, 2009
Last night I was fortunate enough to be on the floor of the Stuart C. Siegal Center at VCU to photograph the Rams defeat the Richmond Spiders 65-57. There’s a photo feature of my work up on RVA News.
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 26th, 2009
Today, on Thanksgiving, I’m thankful that my wife’s late father was into photography.
When I started dating the woman that is now my wife her father was already inaccessible, in the late stages of a rare disorder that would take him during our last year in college. I never really got to meet the man who would have been my father-in-law.
He did, however, leave behind a wealth of well-kept camera gear largely from the 1960s. My wife used his old 1967 Nikon F in college, and eventually gave it to me as my wedding present in 2004. She knew I was taking an interest in photography and taught me to use her father’s camera.
Today, while digging around my mother-in-law’s garage for a prop to use in tomorrow’s photo, I stumbled upon a gold mine. An early 60’s Mamiya C3 TLR medium format camera. It’s in almost perfect shape, and included a pistol grip, mirror finder, hood, yellow filter, and UV filter. For this shot I put the mirror finder on in place of the waist-level finder and attached the hood and grip. Everything seems to work just fine, and I plan to run a test roll through when I get home on Sunday.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
“Cousins” by Vampire Weekend
November 23rd, 2009Peep the new hotness from Vampire Weekend – “Cousins” off their upcoming album, Contra:
I really dig the video. It’s a simple conceit – basically just back and forth on a dolly – but there’s a lot of clever changes and some interesting editing at points. This album drops on the 12th of January, 2010.
St. Joseph’s Villa
November 23rd, 2009Yesterday I had my first paying photography gig through RVANews photographing St. Joseph’s Villa as they celebrated 175 years in operation. Check out the results!

Who’s afraid of a big bad trial?
November 18th, 2009John Gruber created a new site collecting statements/links about whether or not certain politicians are “afraid of the terrorists.” That got me thinking about what might threaten the US of A…
Here’s a simple question:
How is moving the trial of an Islamic terrorist to NYC more of a threat to America than the invasion of a nation under false pretenses?

It’s so nice to see the sun again here in the River City.
