I attended PhotoPlus Expo this year. It is the biggest photography trade show in the United States. This year was the 30th anniversary of the show. Lots of new products and plenty of "buzz" in the industry. These are exciting times for photographers. All the major camera manufacturers had their new cameras and plenty of networking. Today's picture is of Scott Kelby presenting on the show floor for Canon.
Taken during a recent trip to New York.
This week's photographer you should know is Chase Jarvis. Check out his blog/porfolio. Chase is also the co-founder of creativelive.com.
I sincerely hope that you are having fun wherever you are today. Today's photo is from the campus of Duke University.

During my career with Newport News Fire Department I witnessed a lot of horrific sites. I post this photo to remind you of only one thing. Make sure that you have working smoke detectors in your home.

Today is Wednesday October 23, 2013. Back in the day, the noontime radio station announcer at WBLS.FM 107.5 would always say "It's Wednesday, the weekend is here". However you decide to think about it, enjoy your day.
This was a photo taken on a late in the afternoon in the month of December. The warm color and the intensity of the light enhances the the color of the brick. I love trying out different angles.

Sometimes called the "Ultimate Street Photographer Louis Mendes shoots with a Speed Graphic camera with two flash units and a Polaroid back. I have met him and talked with him on several occasions. He can be found in NYC in front of B&H photo or Adorama when not shooting special events. If you ever see him be sure to say hello. Be sure to "friend" him on Facebook.

It's Friday Night and its High School Football
This is the Hearst Tower in Charlotte NC. During a trip to Charlotte in 2012, I decided I would get up early and take some photographs in downtown Charlotte. As I walked by the Hearst Tower I noticed that the security personnel were mobilizing. I know I'm a force to be reckoned with but this was just a little ridiculous. At some point at least four security guards had surrounded me. They let me know in a friendly way that I could not take pictures while on the sidewalks of the Hearst Tower. Now based on my training I could have resisted (just kidding) but they were very friendly and so was I. In fact, I had gotten some great pictures from several blocks away so I never intended to try to photograph the building. I thought about complaining but it was private property and they have that right. The security guards were very polite, friendly and professional. As photographers we often hear of situations involving security guards that don't have good outcomes.
I returned to the area this year and surprisingly did not have the same reaction. The difference is this year I was only carrying a point and shoot. For this excursion I only had my Nikon point and shoot. It was a grey day and I expected it to rain at any moment. My message is this. Perception and first impressions are important. Have a great day.
Good morning its Wednesday and its Hump Day. Don't worry no camel photo today.
