Clothes are shipped to your home, tried on and shipped back if you don’t like what you see. Consumers today don’t have to leave their home or speak with a human being to function in the […]
Shooting as a photojournalist for years gives you the opportunity to learn every aspect of your craft. It puts you in places and situations that continue to test your ability and skill set. How do you get better at this: shoot a lot and keep trying different things, leave what works and drop those that […]
The web makes it possible to be somewhere with out having to be there, I know that sounds a little abstract but bear with me a moment. Now I can start at somebody’s front door behind my computer screen and walk all the way through their business. Not only with images but hi-def pro images […]
