Mutt 'n' Vair: June 2013
http://muttnvair.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Trying to survive in this modern world. The Marks of a Professional. Moonlight over DeForest fog. Ever have the contractor or vendor that is consistently late for meetings or deadlines? Or the client that doesn't know what she wants from your service? How about the designer that delivers the copy master as an unlabeled (not even writing! Why would you put up with such behavior? Does their value to you make their behavior right? Labelled discs are bad enough about straying, an unlabelled one? Shudder* I h...

Mutt 'n' Vair: April 2014
http://muttnvair.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Trying to survive in this modern world. There and back again. Keeping it between the lines on the back highways. Our niece's wedding is in October. This isn't much of a problem, but she lives in the Seattle area. My wife and I have a choice: Fly? If we fly, we'd take up little more than an extended weekend getting there, touring the area with my sister-in-law and her family and coming back. Rush. Rush. Rush. You'll never know what you'll find on your. Travels off the interstates. This dragon. We'll take ...

Trying to survive in this modern world. ASMP Portrait taken at the. Strictly Business 3 Conference in. Chicago, April 2011. When my various friends saw the image for the first time (and it was the first time I used that particular image), I got the usual likes and positive comments. One stuck out: My friend and advanced amateur photographer from South Dakota, Jon “Fiskr” Larsen. As the years rolled on, I also worked for the US National Park Service. A self-portrait while photographing in the "field,".

Trying to survive in this modern world. Clint and Arch - Self Portrait. One of the biggest beefs I have with customers is that they don't do the most basic homework when they come to me. To get something they want. It's astounding how often they don't even know WHAT they want. I've found I'm very good at helping them figure out what they are after, and then helping them get it or doing what they need to do. Clint and his phone and computer. I made the leap and created a website. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mutt 'n' Vair: September 2012
http://muttnvair.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Trying to survive in this modern world. Edgewood Park and Pleasure Drive. A friend reminded me of some basic things that need constant, well, nagging: Practice, balance, responsibility and caring. I am notorious for being scattered, impulsive, often absent-minded, and usually procrastinating chores. However,.well, my accomplishments will have to wait for later. That was ten months ago. The real joy is that the culprits are the cartilage pads (meniscus, menisci? Meanwhile, I'm exploring more with my photo...

Mutt 'n' Vair: So you want to make a portfolio from your pictures?
http://muttnvair.blogspot.com/2014/05/so-you-want-to-make-portfolio-from-your.html
Trying to survive in this modern world. So you want to make a portfolio from your pictures? Recent work on my self-marketing package included producing a printed portfolio. Simple enough; I have some four thousand archived images to choose from. Some of them have to be good, if not spectacular. As it turned out, I took a lot of really good, even exceptional, pictures over the years. So, how do I choose what will represent my style. Here's how I start my sorting:. Cloud Crown on a Hill. Third sort: Look a...

http://muttnvair.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Trying to survive in this modern world. Working with Models or Talent. Stephanie and my Hat. In still photography, they're models. In motion imagery, they are talent. In either case, they are the people (and sometimes animals) you put in front of your lens to help you tell your story. They are also a big factor in your collaborative effort to deliver a product for your client. Hannah: "This is awkward! How tight of control you use is up to you. I tend to be more collaborative, and only correct or re-...

Mutt 'n' Vair: The Busy Client
http://muttnvair.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-busy-client.html
Trying to survive in this modern world. Photo booth ready for customers. My photo booth was set up in the middle of the merchant area, ready for clients to have their portraits done and printed on site. In spite of the summer sunshine and heat, I had effectively created a cool cave in the middle of the field. Alas, business was slow- as in nonexistent. A conflict with another larger event kept many of the event. Busker entertains the "crowd". Main Pavilion lit up for evening activities. Right after the c...
