Who said the iPhone can’t take good pictures?
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
photo by bananajode
Over at Photocritic Photography Blog there’s a compiled list of a hundred pretty decent images taken exclusively on the iPhone. While I don’t necessarily agree that it’s all good photography, the overall quality is not bad considering the iPhone’s shitty camera. Also, I can tell that some of the pix are post processed on the iPhone using several available iPhone photo apps. Still, not bad.
Out of Commission
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
So, I’ve been battling a cold the past few days and it’s been winning. Going to post up a few things while I’m here at my computer, but nothing earth-shattering.
Also, I’m probably going to do another revamp of this blog as I figure out more of what I want to do here and what my voice is going to be. So stay tuned.

Veer’s Brilliant Idea
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
According to PDN, Veer has had the great idea putting higher priced images in the same collection as cheaper similar images.
The above two images, while not being exactly the same (different photographers and different contrast and lighting), are similar enough to be considered the same image. The one on the right, for low res usage is priced at $49. The one on the right is, now hold on to your hat, priced at $1 for the same size.
If you just screamed “WTF?” then you’re not alone. This is why the stock photo business is going to hell in a FedEx box.
Go over to PDN for the full poop.
Ritz Camera files for Chapter 11
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
According to Reuters, Ritz Camera is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy today. According to the story:
“Ritz said it will seek court permission to obtain $85 million of financing to keep operating while it restructures.”
With both Nikon and Canon being the “largest unsecured creditors,” I sure hope they can secure this new funding.
This is not a good thing, both for the economy and for us photographers. I’ve used Ritz to purchase a lot of my equipment and have had wonderful shopping experiences with them.
Good luck, Ritz.
