I don't know how many of you guys know (or care) about this, but there's going to be a new TV show coming to Bravo early next year about photography. The details are a little sketchy, but it seems to follow the life of two pro-photographers in NYC.

Knowing what most of the content is like on Bravo and from what I know about the show based on the press release, it's probably going to suck and most of you will hate it. However, because I don't know for a fact it's going to totally blow, it might be cool or at least mildly interesting.

I have been thinking for the longest time they need to do a Project Runway/Top Chef type of show for photography since I think it could be cool. And since photography is becoming so mainstream these days, I think there could be an audience for it. Anyway, I don't think this new show is going to be setup like this at all but it still could be interesting.

More details here:


(No real web links to point to yet as it was only announced via press release a few months back.)

What I am hoping, at least, is that the photography plays a big role and it's not just a relationship show. Time will tell.

I posted this back in November. The series "Double Exposure" has been airing for a couple of weeks now but I guess it flew under the radar because it sucked so bad. Not really surprising considering it's from Bravo.

Here's a clip of Marcus Klinko talking about his camera:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwUzU3Bfquo

I was able to find one full episode on YouTube, doesn't seem to be up anywhere else. If you are bored and feel like killing some time, here is an episode where they photographed Naomi Campbell for the cover of American Photo magazine and Lady Gaga:

Yeah, the show is pretty terrible and after watching the episode I sort-of regretted posting it here. It seems like it's more of a drama between the photographer and his model-partner vs. a show about photography. They were in big financial problems according to the magazine article I read last year.

I've never been a one trick pony. I like to have a competency in everything. I've been to business school.
Has anyone watched the show "The Neistat Brothers" on HBO? It's basically a documentary series about these two brothers who make short films ala "Home Movies" style. They basically took a chance and spent their tax returns on some cameras and Imacs and never looked back like a decade ago. After that they just made short films, many of which have made it into festivals and finally HBO gave them a show.

How the show works is each episode is based off 6 weeks which comprise their "Production cycle" 4 weeks of shooting and 2 weeks of editing. The show ends up with them talking about their short films, then showing them. It's really cool stuff staring people you'd actually want to be friends with, as opposed to that "Double Exposure" poo poo.

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD1wcVIGwGE

I watched the first episode while I was bored doing some editing, and ended up putting the computer down and watching the whole thing because it was so interesting.

Umm... Yeah. I'm going to have to disagree...

My girlfriend is a pastry chef, and watches top chef religiously. Most of her co-workers TiVo it too. When I was working in a kitchen a few years ago, all the line guys and the Sous Chef loved it. It's liked because of all the bullshit cooking shows on TV it's the most realistic. It's not as good as it was a few years ago, but it's still pretty drat good. Bonus points when some 'Kountry Kitchen' self-taught a-hole gets on there to "show these people that you don't have to be classically trained to be a good chef" and they get eliminated in the first episode - two seasons ago they had some arrogant student who hadn't even graduated culinary school and was eliminated before the first commercial break of the first episode. :fuckoff:

Yes, the B.S. challenges of 'create a dish that can be prepped for frozen dinners' is a ridiculous challenge, but the majority of it is way better than anything on Food Network.

Oh and let's not forget the culinary industry has a lot of :gay: men and the bears just love them some Tom Calicio

You have to assume the worst about anything on eBay; if you're not sure about something, ask questions (or if it's something that clarifying would significantly raise the value of the items in question, weigh the cost of asking versus taking a gamble).

FWIW KEH does the same thing; if it doesn't explicitly state the lens caps are included, they're not. At any rate, those caps will probably set you back a grand total of $4 shipped from Hong Kong.

I just bought an auto-focus lens for my D3s because I felt silly having all these focus points and never ever ever ever being able to do anything with them and oh god it's good i'm a little weak at the knees. It's only a 28m F/2.8.

I'm never going to buy another big lens again, though. Only little primes for me. Unless I change my mind, and I'll have to hunt down this post and delete it so I don't look wishy-washy.

I like to think it's purchasing an excellent off-road vehicle and purchasing tires adequate for what you want to do, and not going out and getting enormous mud terrains so you vibrate stupid on the freeway, void your cheap insurance or pay for that insurance that makes your hackles rise because you're getting rear end hosed.

And then, when you do go drive around in the bush, once every two months, you drive really timidly through puddles and you say to your passenger "oh no, oh no I'm not going to do that one, look how deep it is, I know I have a snorkel but that is just way to deep, yeah, that guy in the shittier car is going through it, but I'll go around, I don't need to go through things when I can go around" and then you get so hosed up the first night on schmirnoff and caffienated alcoholic drinks you can't function the next day, and you hang your head out the side flap of your tent and just vomit and retch until your stomach lining is coming out of your nose and your puke is fluro green.

You manage to rouse yourself that night, and cook some dinner with your girlfriend, but you can't say much, can't even stand the sight of drink, and the next day you get up early and go home.

So I packed up my Salvador Dali print of two blindfolded dental hygienists trying to make a circle on an Etch-a-Sketch and headed for California.
After that Phorumr script broke with the new Flickr page, I got tired of manually putting in the BBCode and copying over URLs, so I wrote a new one.

Now, as a warning, I should tell you that this is horribly hacked together and may break at any moment. I do not really know JavaScript; I just pretend to and used the google extensively to look up functions.

Here it is, go hog wild.

If you use Chrome, click that poo poo and then click allow or yes or whatever at the bottom of your screen. If you use Firefox, click that poo poo and install it as a GreaseMonkey script (assuming you already have GreaseMonkey installed.)

What this does:
It puts a box under the description of the photo on the photo page containing bbcode like the following: {url=URL-of-your-photo-page}{img}URL-of-your-photo-at-the-size-shown-on-the-photo-page{/img}{/url}



It does the same thing when you go to the All Sizes page. You can click on any of the sizes and it'll stay there under the photo.





Hopefully this saves you time so you can post more pictures of your dogs and stuff.


How it works: terribly.
Here's the awful code
code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name           EasyFlickrLink
// @namespace      what
// @description    Makes it easy to link back to Flickr when posting images in forums.
// @include        http://www.flickr.com/photos/*/*/*
// ==/UserScript==

if (document.getElementById("allsizes-photo") == undefined) {
var PhotoDiv = document.getElementById("photo-drag-proxy").nextSibling;
var PhotoElement = PhotoDiv.getElementsByTagName("img");
var PhotoURL = PhotoElement[0].src;
var MetaDiv = document.getElementById("meta");
LinkBoxDiv = document.createElement("div");
LinkBoxDiv.innerHTML =  "BBCode Link: <input type=\"text\" size=\"45\" value=\"[url=" + window.location + "][img]" + PhotoURL + "[/img][/url]\">";
MetaDiv.appendChild(LinkBoxDiv);

} else {

var PhotoDiv = document.getElementById("allsizes-photo");
var PhotoElement = PhotoDiv.getElementsByTagName("img");
var PhotoURL = PhotoElement[0].src;
var SizesURL = String(window.location);
var urlcutstart = SizesURL.indexOf("/sizes/");
var PhotoPageURL = SizesURL.substring(0, urlcutstart + 1);
LinkBoxDiv = document.createElement("div");
LinkBoxDiv.innerHTML = "BBCode Link: <input type=\"text\" size=\"45\" value=\"[url=" + PhotoPageURL + "][img]" + PhotoURL + "[/img][/url]\">";
PhotoDiv.appendChild(LinkBoxDiv);

Hope you registered your copyright.

This sounds like a terrible exam question that my sadistic copyright professor would dream up. There is no 'emergency publication' protection in FairUse. One could argue that this would be a taking in violation of due process. It's going to get messy, I don't know what the rules are on California Sovereign Immunity and quite frankly don't feel like looking them up. The paper is playing with fire, publish them and you run afoul of copyright and risk serious statutory damages of up to ~$250k per image. Don't and you risk cutting off relationships with the police department. No win situation. All in all, I'm wouldn't be surprised if all of this hasn't been worked out behind the scenes where the paper has indemnity from the police department or the department has forged consent forms of the real copyright holders.
