Nobody puts Phil in a corner.


I hosed around with hard drives and somehow my lightroom catalog basically lost itself and found itself and I've lost all the edits and keywords to all my photos since May.

A good lesson to learn now rather than later I suppose.

I think it's more indicative of how awards are dolled out right now

These aren't interesting either.

I have an etiquette question. Yesterday I took photos at my stepson's high school football game, just for fun and to get some practice with sports photography. We were the visiting team, and there was one other photographer taking photos for the home team's school, he was chill, we chatted a bit and he gave me his business card.

The game was a blowout for the home team, so I have a lot more decent shots of those kids. If any of them end up being keepers, I thought maybe their parents might like to have a few nice photos for free. It's a pretty small, rural school. Would it be weird to reach out to the other photographer and ask if he can send them to the parents? Then again, I checked out his website and his photos are better than mine (and he sells them) so part of me feels like I would be overstepping/butting in on his business.

E: thought about it some more and I don't think it's a good idea.

Honestly I'd just reach out to him and say thanks for the chat and maybe something might come out of it where you're their backup in case they need coverage or something -- but don't expect anything more or push anything.

If any of the other team photos turned out good you can still use em for your portfolio so they're not all wasted v :) v

Black and White 100%

The Colour version with that band of colour midway through the top is distracting and takes away from the texture of the photo.

In case you needed any further evidence that photo competitions are fuckin' garbage:

(tl;dr: a composite won sports photo of the year for some organization who is clearly run by jokers)

It's not even a good picture.

I don't even know where to begin with this stuff. I'm kind of at a loss for words really. His instagram has 3k followers. I dunno. Weird all around.

Getting weird feelings about how access is one of the main drivers of "great" known photographers. Such is life. (Peter McKinnon redbull eclipse shot etc etc)
