November 12, 2007 Joel Meyerowitz on Printing HP has a video on Joel Meyerowitz – shooting and printing for a Paris show. Yes, it’s a puff piece for HP, but there’s some good information in there and he talks about the creative process. Categories Good Work/Tech Talk
November 11, 2007 Sunday Morning Humor My generation believed that “War Games” was about as cool as computer movies could get. Of course, we also thought that “Tron” had the greatest graphics ever, too … so what did we know? But imagine what would happen if some modern shows were done in an earlier time … say, “24” being done in 1994 … Categories Tech Talk
November 9, 2007 Sports Portfolio – John Biever Okay, aside from this being basically an ad for (our excellent and truly supportive friends at) Canon, Sports Illustrated’s gallery of photos by John Biever is worth wandering through. Categories Good Work/Photojournalism

November 2, 2007 The Smile – and Other – Shutters Okay, so Sony has a new camera that recognizes smiles. Now I could make some comment about how if the person behind the camera can’t recognize a smile they must be in art school or be a 20-year newspaper veteran, but that just seems cruel. So, instead, I give you the other shutter releases I would like to see on... Categories Tech Talk/Thoughts & Theory
November 2, 2007 The Mundane Becomes Cool One of the things I love about newspapers moving into new storytelling modes is the ability to make a seemingly mundane thing more interesting. Had I ever told my staff to go to a football game and cover the chain gang – the volunteers who move the first down markers around – they would have had a fit. But the...
