WTSTOCK - WEEK OF 4/16
in find
A lot's happened since I've been away, but one thing hasn't changed - the caliber of your typical stock image. Here we have the appropriate number of ethnically and genderly diverse young folk intently studying a globe on a beach. Mr. Green Collared Shirt is about as serious as you can be about a globe. So serious that I feel like he's acting. Like maybe he's a beachcomber who happened upon this group of millennials and is trying to go unnoticed. Either way, this image is not the same type of absurd image I usually post. Instead, it is quintessentially what is wrong with stock - scenes depicted that are crappy metaphors for some bullet in a powerpoint showing dimwits engaging in an activity about three miles away from real life. Photography's purpose is to reflect upon and contribute to our shared human experience. Stock photography's purpose is to apparently torpedo it. Ok, I'll hop off my soap box now. Happy Friday, all!
A Top Notch Video Edit
in find
Hey all. I've been super deep in video production land for new TV spots I'm working on for the University of Colorado. So, in that mindset, I thought I'd share a video I saw a while back that has an insanely killer vibe and edit energy. I'll be back with more still stuff soon. In the meantime, enjoy!
The Best Piece of Gear
in find
What's the best piece of gear I carry around with me? If really pressed, I'd have to say it's this. (I have one that is similar - was a piece of tchotchke a friend gave me from his company.) Combine that with a beefy portable battery pack and you will never worry about your charge level again - promise. I got plenty of great gear, but sometimes it's the $5 piece of genius that saves the day!
WTStock - Week of 3/12
This week is a doozy. "Businessman trapped in rope web." And what a web it is. Seriously, people, make better stock photography. This stuff is just ridiculous. On second thought, keep making awful stock, cuz I do enjoy my weekly laugh.
WTStock - Week of 2/27
Sometimes the best part of a terrible stock photo is the title. Today we have "the man with the parcel." Original available here.
