I came upon this little wooden box secretly stored behind something we have all noticed while driving up one of our scenic canyons today.
Anyone know where this is?
And more interestingly, what the back-story is?
For geocaching?
… and, anticipating your question; … no, there was nothing in it.
It’s much of what I LOVE and HATE about the industry. This Freelancer recommends it…I hope he gets paid for this.
The last couple of days, in between assignments I’ve been able to catch a bit of the judging of POYi at Mizzou.
I’ve been blown away by the inspiration I get from this contest’s open judging format.
It’s so inspiring, and at the same time humbling. To see all the Strongest Work In The World fly by on the screen is a rare treat.
After watching today’s Sports Photographer of the Year – Portfolio judging, I am just as blown away. It brought to mind that to reach that high a bar, one has to have the strength of character to stay true to your own vision, give the best of what you’ve got each and every day – each and every assignment, no matter how dull or routine it may seem to you. There is a portfolio picture possible in each one.
It’s the same for someone shooting for Sports Illustrated or the NYT as it is for someone shooting for a small daily. They can each stand next to each other on that stage.
And to get through a whole year of shooting, we all need a little inspiration once in a while.

I wrote up an editorial on the history of Kodak and their recent decision to cease production of cameras. Sure, this has been long in coming and they’ve not in recent history been a serious contender for camera production, *but*, given the history, its sad nonetheless.

Apropos of Trent’s noise post, I have been blown away by how far sensor technology is coming these days. This evening I shot some images on a walk around Sugarhouse Park from my cell phone… A 5MP image from an iPhone 4, not even the latest 4s with a physical sensor the size of a pin head. Crazy… Pretty soon one might imagine multiple smaller sensors distributed on a larger surface and their individual images digitally composited and processed to make a better, higher quality image. What will that mean for photojournalism? We are rapidly approaching a time when the phrase, “images straight outta the camera” will not really mean what we have come to expect that phrase to mean.
