Interesting quotes, at least to me, relating to photography
The other day, I met this photographer who shall remain anonymous because… He makes very nice black and white panoramic landscapes and he makes a good living selling the prints. Within 2 minutes of our conversation:
I am a purist, I only use black and white films. When I take the photo, that's it, that's how it's printed.
So, I asked him a few questions:
As part of my daily routine early mornings, Pacific Standard Time, I check my emails, update http://www.foto-biz.com, then I sacrifice myself for the common good and surf the web. An hour, an hour and half later, it's breakfast time.
As as was surfing my regular websites, I found this great reminder on how to improve your photography:
- Always
- Have
- Your
- Camera

WORRIED ABOUT WHEN I'M LEAVING?
When you are leaving.
HOW MANY PHOTOS OF THE WEDDING?
There's no set number, but it's usually between 1,000 & 1,500. More for larger weddings, less for more intimate weddings.

I've received an email from Chris at SnapSort about their new website. They basically list lenses and give you selections by price, range, brand…
Not everyone has a camera bag full of lenses, but we all want to take great photos. For many people, purchasing a lens can be confusing, especially for beginners who don't know where to start. LensHero simplifies the process, allowing photographers to find lenses compatible with their camera, and easily explore lenses based on style of photography and budget.

Authorities in Kuwait have banned the use of Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras by members of the public.
This was started by the Kuwait Times. Today, 27-Nov-2010, the Kuwait Times published:
The newspaper regrets failing to verify the information. The article wrongly stated that a ban on DSLR cameras was implemented by the Ministries of Information, Social Affairs and Finance. This information is false. In a follow up investigation, it was proved that no such ban has been issued. We regret this error and deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Authorities in Kuwait have banned the use of Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras by members of the public.
The ban, which applies to the use of DSLRs on the Gulf state's streets and shopping malls, makes it illegal for anyone except journalists to use the cameras. Smaller 'compact' digital cameras and camera phones are exempt.
The ban has been brought into force by the combined action of the country's Ministry of Information, Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Finance.

Only an idiot would buy a 1Dmk4 and shoot in JPEG!
by Richard ... aka Anon Imous
Anon Imous screams first, opens his big mouth, contradicts everybody and is not very competent. You know the type. You know him at the photo club, you also see him at the wedding where he always tell everybody how bad the professional photographer is and what he's doing wrong, he always shut down people on the forums…
BTW, Have you noticed that Anon Imous is always a guy.
So back to why would an “idiot” buy a Canon 1DMk4 and shoot in JPEG? Linn is that idiot.
