FIRST Robotics & Tiltviewer

I just wrapped up editing the FIRST Robotics FInger Lakes Regional photos (it was a blast, BTW) and I thought that gang of cool geeky youth would dig this new gallery style from Airtight Interactive . It’s a 3D grid effect and can load photos from a folder, or grab them from your FlickR account by tags. Try it out, it’s sweet. I particularly like the ‘next gallery’ photos falling effect.

Hey, I’m a “Creative Entrepreneur!”

I do a fair amount of talking to groups, but it’s usually about photo topics, digital photography, Photoshop, etc… But this time it’s different.

RIT has asked me to speak at a conference on the business side of my life, which is cool. I’ve often said that I got my early start by being a good businessman first, then a photographer. All photographers that are full-time should have a pretty good feature-set, but I felt that they often blow it on business (personal skills, billing mistakes, showing up late, not fitting in with a high-end group, etc).

One way I’ve summed up my early success is that I was the guy that didn’t screw up. I wasn’t the best, most creative shooter… just the last guy standing. (this stems from a story of working for the AP early on)

RIT asked me if I wanted to be involved in the ‘Networking’ topic, but I turned that down, as I’m an abysmal failure at networking. I hate all of that and often don’t have cards with me. I have been blessed that my business grew because of very kind clients spreading the word, but it was through no plan or system of mine.

Thanks to Deb and Kara for thinking I have something to share. It’s really nice to give back to people starting out. My topic will be on Striking Out on Your Own – Prospering As a Creative Entrepreneur

So maybe I’ll see you there!

The building is coming along beautifully. It’s been fun to watch it change with each visit. It’s HUGE! With a full floor of research up top.

‘Finished’ signs are showing up all over…

Progress on the New URMC WIlmot Cancer Center Building

The glass is in and the fascad is really taking shape. This is a Ken ‘creative’ shot of the new glass front reflecting the old Strong buildings surrounding it.

Even inside they are coming along. This Saturday, the first huge accelerator machine will be installed… I was amazed that they are doing that so early, but I was told they need lots of time to get it on line.

Cool Locations

I’m so fortunate that I get to shoot in so many interesting places in Rochester. I remember the time when the George Eastman House folks asked me ‘Where (in the mansion) did I think I’d like to take the portraits’… I mean, that’s a loaded question! Every square inch of the place is beautiful; I had a harder time narrowing down locations than finding one.

Once a while back I was able to shoot from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School’s bell tower… lots of pigeon poo, but a lovely view and great shots with the bell. I was back at Colgate today (they are getting to be such a great client), and even though I was there for ‘people’ shots, I couldn’t help grabbing these building/window photos.
