DIY PHOTOBOOK/ PORTFOLIO

What I learned on www.aphotoeditor.com today about DIY book publishing:

BLURB
WHCC
POWERHOUSE BOOKS
IPHOTO

to blog or not to blog

"I'm not so much an advocate for blogging as I am for simply doing
things online where I strongly believe a great portion of the business
of photography will end up. I think blogs are a great way to
strengthen the community, to debate new ideas, to stomp out old bad
ideas and to find a new path for photography but it's more important
that people working with photography are putting work online and
trying new things out to help us all figure out what's next. I did
manage to say in my speech that I believe in the future of photography
and that I would like to convince those that have the power to make
decisions over the use of photography that there is no greater medium
for communication online and once they finally realize this there will
be a big bright future awaiting all of us."

Let the world change you and you can change the world.


Che! the most reproduced photo in the world. I watched "THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES"the other night and again was moved by this beautiful film; I was trying to explain who CHE Guevara was/ is to my friend. What could I say except he was a revolutionary know for wearing a beret with a star on his head. His image emblazoned on everything from murals, baseball hat, t-shirts and stickers. I was interested to learn more about Che Guevara who was beloved and made into an icon because of this photograph. I am amazed that many people don't know much about him including myself. The photographer never really made any money on his image but both the creator and the muse live on beyond the timespan of their lives. Here's a good story about the image itself.
