Hey there! This show was fun, although the topic proved to be a bit tough to meet. Although every photo may be a piece of a story, we were looking for photos that conveyed a full story in one shot. You can see my attempt at it here. Next week we’ll look at your black and white photos.
First off, photo news:
- Canon announced three new cameras: EOS M6, T7i and the 77D. Meh.
Let’s look at some pictures:
- “this is the story of a child born from the sea”
- “I’ve always wanted to be someplace where monkeys are a pest” “You’re gonna be patient zero of something with that attitude”
- street kid
- “this is principle buzzkill” “ten kids a year die from graduation hat related injuries”
- firefighter practice
- eeek
- win
- protest
- “oh my gosh you darling dandy”
- BLM <3
- “when you’re cruising on your bike and you need to stop and grab a banana”
- basket carrying
- “I lived that life, I’m gonna give it a pick”
- “is this for real or is this like Plymouth Rock?”
- “oh my god, what is she gonna do with that rock? This is a terrifying story.”
- ghost dancer
- “oooh, they’re mole people“
- “he caught a dog! My dream come true.”
- dog envy
- Tony has limited Spanish understanding
- this is how you lose her
Time for chit-chat! You know the deal.
- this is a real slang roller coaster
- Tony sees dead people
- omg you guys actually learn things from us sometimes
- “if it’s never happened to me, it doesn’t happen!” You’ve obviously never heard of the Craigslist killer.
- couples counseling
- don’t listen to torque of the devil
- “slightly less-chill Tony”
Let’s go over to me for your questions:
- where are you travelling next? Charleston for fun, Thailand for work.
- stop spot metering.
- we are totally in control of how our cameras make us look
- Flashpoint strobes? “I like things that are the same but slightly different” “You must be a big fan of Canon” “And pop music!”
- where to order from and ship a print? Congrats on a sale! Get a pro account from Mpix.
Time to review some portfolios! We do a few this week, quickly.
- Bryce: lovely portfolio, not too many pictures, varied subjects. Just unify your layouts.
- Infinite Photography: interesting, surreal work. Pare down your portraits a bit, lead with your marketable work. Put a shot of yourself on your contact page and add a pricing page.
- Kyle Medina: great cover page, maybe simplify the layout. Your work is beautiful!
- Capture Candy: great shots, edit your about me page so it doesn’t pop out, simplify your categories and pare down photos. Great, diverse work though!
- Maya Rose Bird: you’re the best! Lovely work, great layout. You’re a pro!
- Jordan Brown: nice, simple layout. Just pare down a bit, maybe make just one portfolio page not separated into categories. Great shots!
- Chris Reddy: hi friend! Nice full screen layout. Pare down some shots, make your sub-menus your main menus. Good work!
- Mordini Photo: beautiful work, nice full screen layout, take out the projects menu and just put up your subjects. Add your name and a photo and some personal info.
- Sebastian Le Calvez: good layout, wonderful shots. You have a great eye.
Some more questions:
- Fyn is Flynn now. Kyle is Lyle. Up is down. Cats are dogs.
- what’s the deal with flying drones near heliports?
- what’s your favorite animal? Tony’s are red pandas, baby rhinos, and dogs. Chelsea’s is Alex the African Grey Parrot. He’s ded tho.
Back to your photos:
- Miss America
- hike

- whistling at the woods
- the set up
- “is this also Westworld?”
More questions:
