Assignment: Opposites Attract
On this next assignment (or shall we say âvisual challengeâ) we are going to explore how very different subjects can dynamically interact with each other, whether they are thrown in a situation or they just happen to exist in two diametrically opposite circumstances.Â
The goal of the exercise is to push our vision to the brim of conflict, break free from pre conceived notions and find theâŠ

Suspect Assignment: Photograph Virtue
Photo Home work and review for all
In keeping with a theme of Positivity through Photography we present our First Assignment: Photograph Virtue.
The idea of this assignment is to foster an appreciation for what is positive in our photo life. The Cambridge Dictionary states, Virtue (Noun) âA good moral quality in a person, or the general quality of being morally goodâ. Another suggestion by Douglas Holleley in his book, âYourâŠ

Suspect Photography Workshops: West Village Photo Walk, Saturday May 18th 2013
Village Americana
When it comes to charming neighborhoods, New York Cityâs West Village is second to none. From turn of the century carriage houses to ornate brownstones and winding little streets the West Village has a romance all its own. This photo walk will culminate in the âsecret gardenâ which will be in full bloom and offer exquisite photographic opportunities.
Hidden gardens found andâŠ

Working a Subject & Scene To 'Score a Banger'
Evolution of a photograph by working a subject & scene To 'Score a Banger' by carefully examining the composition.
A natural inclination of photographers, when seeing an interesting subject or scene, is to take one shot and move on. In most cases there was a good photograph in there, but by casually investing in only one shot, the full potential is missed. When you find something interesting you stand a better chance of âscoring a bangerâ, (meaning making a great image), simply by taking a few more shots andâŠ

New Beginnings and let's stay connected
A new dawn, a rubicon crossed, and the saga continues seemingly anew. After 26 years to the day, on Halloween I resigned my position at B&H Photo to pursue photography full-time. As we enter the final days of 2023 I have put many irons in the fire and Iâm thrilled to see them bear fruit in the form of workshops in 2024 of which Iâll be announcing shortly.

Reinvigorate with Drone Photography and Fly Like an Eagle
Reinvigorate with Drone Photography and Fly Like an Eagle
Lago Trasimeno, Italy.
I purchased my first drone in 2018, the original DJI Mavic Air in red. I had a co-worker at B&H show me the ropes and then took the drone to Italy. For the first few flights my hands were shaking like a hound dog passing peach pits! It was truly exciting to take a camera into the sky and then apply years of early video game training to fly it over a mile away- so far thatâŠ

PROFOTO C1+ Review
September 18th Profoto released the next big thing, a flash & continuous light designed for iPhone. I was lucky to be invited along with a hand full of NYC photographers by Clifford Pickett for a hands on demonstration and photowalk around the SoHo neighborhood of NYC testing the C1+.
Itâs a very interesting development for mobile photography and has some unique features that I really enjoyed and thought were well thought out. Like any Profoto product, it is very well made and has a great feel in the hands. Profoto is arguably the best lighting system in the world, and I truly believe that. Aside from all the gear always made in black there is a plethora of facts to support my statement. Profoto light modifiers are hands down the best light modifiers and the C1+ accepts all the mods made for the A series. They attach smartly with magnets and as expected, perform very well. The C1+ ships with a light dome to mimic solar light. You can remove the dome and the light becomes slightly more defined. There is a sturdy 1/4 socket for the light to be attached to a light stand (youâd want a swivel umbrella adaptor to make best use). Clifford tested it with an umbrella and the light was quite nice.
You canât use the native camera app, you have to download the Profoto app to synch the light for flash photography. The app is only available for IOS (iPhone 7 and up), no Android support yet (more proof the apple iPhone is better than android). You could use it in continuous mode with the native app, just not for flash. As expected, the Profoto app is very professional and lets you control exposure, white balance (color temp), zoom and adds a timer. Currently, portrait mode is not supported but the engineers are on it (I simply love portrait mode and canât wait for that to be supported).
So as photographers we want control, and below is a series of portraits made of the fellow photographer Claudia Paul on the photowalk. I took a series of photos at different exposures using the âexposure sliderâ on the app. I posted images from screen shots of the app so you can see the exposure variance.
This was my favorite, and it has been slightly edited in Snap Seed.Â
 #gallery-0-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
What I really liked was the camera release â shutter release â trigger on the flash itself, so you can hold your camera in one hand, the flash in the other and shoot very naturally. How many of us have held the camera out, triggered it only to have the camera turn off! Or worse yet, just fumble. I really canât express how natural it is to use the flash this way, itâs a true evolution of iPhoneography!
The unit comes two ways, the C1 and C1+. C1 is $300 and does not support TTL in the Profoto system. The C1+ is $500, has better battery life and supports the Profoto air remote and can be integrated into the Profoto TTL family of flashes. This is key, any one who has a Profoto system will enjoy being able to put this light where other lights canât go. Think behind a shelf, a couch, a small corner⊠the applications are endless. When I was a young photographer I recall an older photographer training me on a wedding and he produced a cheap small flash with a synch on it, and called it a âpeepâ flash, it was used where we couldnât fit the big flashes and it provided just a little bit of fill flash where needed in tight areas.
Characters on the streets of NYC! Notice the catch light in his eyes and emphasis on the gold teeth. With out a light this would be a much duller photograph.
Now itâs not really a flash as we know it, there is no manual and no high synch flash. It has limitations because itâs a manual simulation to bias to the automatic limitation of mobile photography. You canât lock in an exposure. I did find exposure to be slightly erratic. Iâm trained in zone system and chrome shooting, so I found that disconcerting, but itâs really ok, because itâs still iPhone and the spirit is wonky to start with. You canât freeze fast moving subjects like with a traditional flash. Recycle time is about 1 second or so.
Steve Simonâs son came along, after this shot, I warned him to keep his tongue in his mouth when in NYC. #germs #cutekids #scaryphoto
Here are three images to illustrate how it helps with back lit subjects. The image on the left is adjusted with the slider in the native iPhone app, the middle with no adjustment , and the right image with the C1+ providing fill light.
 Overall I think this light is a game changer, and as the app continues development it will be clutch as a tool for the iPhone photographer to keep in their pocket. It takes some getting used to, but once you master the usage and interface, itâs a wonderful tool to enhance your iPhone work.
The truly best part of the photowalk? We got to keep the flashes! Thanks Profoto, I look forward to using this with my iPhone work in the future.

NYC for Beto Phone Bank 3 Days Before the Mid-Terms
NYC for Beto Phone Bank 3 Days Before the Mid-Terms
Iâm lucky to engage in many interests and am part of a community to each one. They are varied, and one of them, paintball, tends to sway to the political right side, the other, table top war-gaming, swings left. I wont get into the nuances of each, suffice to say I am passionate about each activity, and my social media reflects it. I hear from the right views and I hear from the left. Like mostâŠ

The Tuscan Neighbor
Giustino of Cortona
We have a neighbor in Italy, his name is Giustino. He is a venerable character now, but spent his formative years as a farmer and real estate man in Cortona. Since I have known him (about 15 years), he has always been old, but very steady and strong. His property hooks around ours and for years he has toiled in a labor of love tending the olive and fig trees as well as a vastâŠ
