To the people that I dub my killer followers.. (PS: that's all of you) Take a second to re-share it… Re-sharing is free…and what comes around goes around….. Ben is a good guy with a ton of other specialties other than his photo work… Reshared post from +Benjamin Glatt HELP ME GET A JOB AT GOOGLE My family keeps telling me that I picked the worst time to graduate. I want to prove them wrong. I've always wanted to work at Google, and just recently, they've opened new positions for recent grads. But instead of submitting the typical resume, I decided that if I wanted to get noticed, I needed to be creative and strategic. So…I built my resume into my Google+ profile with the help of Photoshop and InDesign. Here's where I need everyone's help…I need as many people to +1 this and share it as possible. In one week, I will take a screenshot of this post, and send it in with my application as an addendum. Hopefully, they'll appreciate what I did, and +1 me with an interview. Wish me luck, and your +1s and shares are most appreciated! This post has been reshared 3 times on […]
What I have been carrying lately – What do you carry and why? The life long quest for a bag that work for all situations is probably one of the harder things photographers need to do… Shove it into a sling style bag, dedicate it all to a backpack solution? Or just take the camera and some cards and go out….https://plus.google.com/u/0/108542426628002931624/posts/Z7pWKGBr6Kq So I was trying to go back in my posts to my very first entry on G+ and it seems it is gone? Anyone else seen this? Like the time machine stops about Aug 14th ish? Take a minute to repost a link to your oldest post and we can see if there is a trend.. also it should be interesting to revisit some older posts when many had much lower follower numbers… Tag your first post with the hashtag #G+myfirstpost so we can all see what it was like 4-5 months ago….. heck post a link here to your first post also …… If we get enough I will even put them together in a single PDF style book format we can have as a sample of the true G+ die hards….. Share it around….. View this post […]

.. yeh I am part of it but its a great circle for those starting to follow interactive photographers here…IE: these people will more than likely talk back to you…. Reshared post from +Scott Jarvie 239 Most Interactive Photographers on Google+ These people have consistently proven they know how to be friendly and they know how to communicate. They are Google+ socialites that love to +1, comment, share and sometimes hangout. Make your connections and your friends however you want here on Google+ but these people are a great place to start if you want my opinion. About the listPeople on this list range from full time well known photographers to many people that are just starting off in photography. What connects them? They all interact a lot on Google+ Yes, There are tens of thousands of people that interact a lot… This list was put together by myself +Scott Jarvie with the help of many other interactive photographers; It represents "The MOST" interactive. I have spent many hours verifying that it is a quality list though I fully admit it will never be perfect. The size of this list has doubled since it was last released in september. You […]

In album #circleofone Interview – +Inside the Glass An interview with +Karen Hutton If you are not yet following Karen – read below and see why you should be….. What types of photography do you shoot? Whatever's in front of me! In my current reality selection (I live in the Sierras of California) , that means lots of gorgeous landscapes and up close nature shots for the most part. I'm very fortunate to have it around me all the time. But I definitely take flights of fancy when I go places. Cities are fun… people are interesting… animals are endlessly expressive. Since I'm not good at fussing about lots of gear, you'll probably never see me shooting in a studio. But then, 'never say never', right? No matter what I shoot, it's all about the moment for me. The completeness of a moment, captured. They are so precious, these moments of ours… strung together they're an entire life! I try to always listen, to see, to be shown what the 'moment' has to offer. If I can successfully capture the results of that, whatever I'm shooting – I feel strangely satisfied. There's really nothing like it. Why did you become […]
