So I finally got the chance to meet with David Ziser in-person last night. His Digital WakeUp Call tour was here in San Diego for the evening, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go hang out with him and learn a few things from a true professional.

Busy is Good, Right?

April 28th, 2009

I’ve been avoiding the Internet lately, but only because I’m fairly busy with a few other things. Mainly, I’m trying to get a few prints together for the upcoming San Diego Fair (you know, prints — those jpegs on that paper stuff). There’s a photo competition and all entries have to be submitted [...]

April 22nd, 2009

At the beginning of April, I announced a special offer to the readers of Epic Edits — A selection of silver-gelatin prints from my darkroom for $25 each. The results of this offer? I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I had a grand total of 4 takers.
Don’t get me wrong — I [...]

Notification List for Southern California Photographers

February 25th, 2009

Last week, my professional printer (Oscar Medina of San Diego Photos and Prints) contacted me about a brand new service he’s offering to local artists. He’s put together a notification list for upcoming shows and juried competitions in the Southern California area — most specifically San Diego County.
This is an extremely valuable resource because [...]
