In an attempt to bring more main stream Glamour Photographers to G+ I am going to start trying to highlight some of the talent out there on the web Glamour Photographer Bio: Johnny Crosslin Sadly not on G+ – and from what I can tell his new site does not properly link to his Facebook or Twitter Accounts – But more than likely you have seen his work in magazines or on the web.  He has portfolios on OMP:http://www.onemodelplace.com/photographers/johnny-crosslin And Model Mayhem:http://www.modelmayhem.com/18463 He has been a photographer I have watched over the years and some of my work has been inspired by stuff he has shot. I will say his choice of models is epic in just about all cases. This is a good example of why up and coming shooters should spend money on amazing models and not waste time when trying to build a portfolio shooting average models. I am not saying you should not learn by doing – I am saying when you finally knuckle down – spend the money and do it right. It will set you apart from others… Every model I have worked with have seen his work and said – I want you […]

For those that have not seen the insane crash at Daytona today here it is from the stands… As you will see this person was sitting right next too the person hit by the front tire and suspension from the car. I would suspect revised safety fencing will be step one to keep fans safe.. But let's not all get on the ban wagon… The beauty of the USA is we are allowed to make choices.. And watching racing is one of those… Everyday I walk across the street in front of my house I can get hit by one of my neighbors roaring down the street drinking Starbucks and texting…. Racing and watching racing live is still much safer than most of our daily activities that we never even think about..  This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+

                                         *Motion Sickness* This is a huge issue for most when they are not in directional control of the vehicle. Also in all honesty – at least in my opinion the solution shown years ago in iRobot – where you have a vehicle that can link into automated lanes but also be driven manually is the best of both worlds..  I can fall asleep on the way to LA – but then take over and park myself or go off-road as needed. The steering wheel adapts as needed to not allow me to drive and gets out of the way…that way I can get work done… We all can adapt to tech – those who do not want to can take the autonomous bus or trains.. but get them off the roads because 90% of the public cannot drive and really should not be allowed in anything but a self driving vehicle. Sadly I believe most of the push back will be from politicians – Fuel Companies – etc that see their bottom line go down based on better efficiency. The […]

Take a second to check out a fellow photographer and friends G+ profile and give him some input… As we all know – followers make G+ much more fun, interactive and helpful – especially to photographers… So follow a fellow photographer +Thomas B – we all need inspiration and G+ has been mine for over a year plus now… mainly because of all my great G+ fellowers…. that sounds better than followers, as most I know here are not actually followers but more leaders… Reshared post from +Thomas B Spent two days in Yosemite for the Thanksgiving holiday. Attended a 90 minute photo walk with Kirk Keeler, one of the staff photographers at the Ansel Adams Gallery. Our group of 10 or so photographers had everything from kids with point-and-shoot cameras to guys with pro-grade DSLRs with 100-400mm lens. Kirk did a nice job of using Ansel's photos to discus lighting and composition as we walked around Cook's Meadow and Sentinal Bridge. If you're visiting Yosemite, check the activities guide (I think they call it a "camera walk.") Good chance that many of the tips will be review, but always nice to get some tips on different locations and best times […]
