Seen This Morning…

Posted on July 25, 2011 by Bryan William Jones

Went down to the finish line this morning to see my wife and sister in law finish the 10k and look who I saw.

Also managed to see a very serious looking Scott working the finish line inspiring the Zazoosh guys comment on how *they* had the contract and who was that guy shooting the finish… I laughed upon hearing: “Someone should tell him to get outta there… Oh no, wait… that guy has a press pass. Go tell him its OK for him to be there”. Continue reading →

Sidewalk cafe photobomb

Posted on July 7, 2011 by Bryan William Jones

I totally stole this idea from Grayson and cobbled together a few images of the monkey photobombing on my Flickr stream in an effort to make myself laugh in the face of not getting a press pass to cover the *last* shuttle launch. I am kicking myself as 1) I turned down a press pass several months ago because I thought I’d just pick it up later and 2) I just got my press pass and clearance emailed to me for the launch, but I’d have to pick up my badge at 5am tomorrow…. at KSC… Even if I had my own Cessna Citation X at immediate disposal, I could not make it in time. So, for now… I am licking my wounds and giving you: More monkeys photobombing.

I just want to say that I’m learning a lot from this coversation. Thanks everyone.

Huh…. Nice boom light. How much do you think the SLFD would charge to rent that bad boy out to drop a little light in a hard to get to place for an upcoming shoot?
— Bryan William Jones on Accident investigation
Great job Trent, way to find the angles.
— scott winterton on Utah vs. Georgia Gymnastics
Garry that’s one thing I see as a positive in all this. Though I’m not getting a day rate, it does at least open a few new doors to me that otherwise might not open. Even at the high school level of sports they require a UHSAA credential (different scenario, but the restricted access idea is the same) While I’m not banking on the idea of spec shooting as being my largest source of income, at least for me right now I see it as a step forward.
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions
A question I have is what about credentials? As a freelancer and especially doing spec shooting, it is so difficult to get credentials. Granted great photos may be had at events without such, but getting into the inner circle where the photos are is out. There’s also the cost of events, there are times one can’t afford the cost. I remember getting into many events just showing the press I.D., for instance the zoo. Great place to find a feature photo, but can’t afford the entrance fee now, and just to get a photo to add to the portfolio...

Lol, the “no worries” was in direct reference to the no gf/wife/child/dependant thought. I have plenty of worries in my life Senor Smith. And I definitely understand the idea of not needing professional sports to make great photos. I shoot a lot of concerts, and I think some of my best images were from unknown artists at Kilby Court. And while the idea is true that you can make great images no matter what scene your in, (correct me if I’m wrong) the fact of the matter is that no matter what, even a great photo at a high school...
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions
Man, I do need your life you. No worries? You must have a good stock of Diet Coke. I’m jealous. Don’t worry. They’ll come if you decide to become a freelancer or you decide to get a girlfriend. Kidding aside, spec shooting is a bad idea. I tell kids in college it’s not. Why? It’s a means of shooting and portfolio building. Is it smart? No. But when you’re in college you have a miniature world at your disposal. No real life pressures or expenses. Basically you can do whatever you want. It’s a great time to...

For the most part I don’t like tilted images, but I do experiment a little sometimes. I have found that I do tend to over-tilt though. I appreciate your comment. I do wish I could see it with a straight horizon.
— Christopher Reeves on Utes vs. Ducks
See and that’s the other thing that’s edging me toward jumping in. I’m single (shut up, Jeremy), no kids, no prospects, no worries. If there ever were a personal situation to take the risk it would be now or sometime close to now. I’m sure I’d be a lot more hesitant, if not averse to attempting it if I had a child to feed or a wife to take care of. For those that advise against the spec shooting. I can understand where you’re coming from, but the question I pose is this: If I don’t do the spec shooting, what...
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions
For me, this is way too much tilt. I really don’t care about the other players on the right and would have enjoyed this sequence much more if the horizon wasn’t tilted 45 degrees.
