5 Things Photographers Wish Clients Would Quit Doing
Photography can be a funny business.
It is the only business that I know of where you can invest lots of money into equipment, gear, and training, and people will still ask you to do free stuff for them because your camera takes better pictures.
Now, while I don't mind working for free on occasions and for a very select few people that I"m closely related to the last thing I want to do is trade my skills and time for no compensation.
When was the last time you asked your doctor to do a checkup for free? How about asking a lawyer to take a case for free because it would give him good publicity?
That brings me to the first thing that annoys most photographers…
1.) Quit Asking Us To Work For Free!
As I mentioned only a very select few am I willing to work for free but when a friend of a friend comes calling and wants a deeply discounted rate or freebie because they think it'll help my portfolio. No thanks!
Most of us would rather wait for a paying customer to come along so we can spend our time and energy on delivering our best work and getting paid for it. Your freebie best friend doesn't put food on my plate no matter how good they look sitting in my portfolio.
2.) Quit Complementing Our Cameras Ability To Take Great Shots.
Ever approached a well renowned chef and said "That food was delicious. You must have a really great stove!" If yes then kudos and also you may want to avoid eating there ever again.
Just because a photographer has a nice camera doesn't mean the camera is the only reason they are able to produce nice shots. It takes practice and training and trial and error over and over again to develop the skill to create and produce beautiful images.
3.) Quit Asking For Our Raw Files.
Unless you and your photographer worked out some special agreement please quit asking for the raw unfinished files.
Photographers work at creating their "image" as a photographer by creating finished products which are the processed photos. You can read more on why I and many others won't give out our raw images here: Raw Files
4.) Not Giving Credit Where It's Due
Want to know a quick way to annoy a photographer? Upload a "teaser" image or other image directly to social media such as Facebook and remove any credit attributes.
Also cropping the photo to remove any watermarks so you can print out a copy for your friends is a sure fire way to annoy the photographer who worked so hard on your images.
Plus under U.S. Copyright law this can lead to legal consequences.
5.) Bringing Extra People To The Session
Never, never, bring extra people to a photo session without asking for permission first!
On more than one occasion I have arrived at a photo shoot for two people and ended up having a group of 4 or more and the client asking me if it's a problem when I arrive.
The answer is yes.
As photographers we like to plan out our sessions so before we arrive we have a good idea in our heads how we would like things to work and play out.
On top of that it may also be a breach of contract. Often times prices vary but are usually done by headcount so if you invite way more people than were discussed one of two things will happen:
1.) The photographer will take the photos and work through it but probably charge you for the extra people showing up.
2.) They'll cancel the session since you breached the agreed to terms.
Just to be clear I'm referring to people wanting to be photographed. This point has nothing to do with family or friends off to the side for security or support reasons.
Have you as a photographer ran into the above issues? Have you as a client been guilty of doing anything above? Let me know in the comments section below!

Publisher Synopsis
"Madeleine L'Engle is one of the wise women not only of our time but of the ages. She would be comfortable in the company of Sappho and Sophocles, Dante and Chaucer, MacDonald and Dostoevsky, and they would rejoice in hers. She understands, as they did, that, confronted by the mysteries at the heart of the cosmos--the mysteries of union and separation, of progress and retreat, of good and evil--one must enlist in the struggle with all one's might and at the same time bow in awe before the unspeakable beauty and pain and all that is inexplicable."--Thomas Cahill, author of "How the Irish Saved Civilization, The Gifts of the Jews, "and "Desire of the Everlasting Hills ""Although it would be impossible to distill into one volume all of Madeleine L'Engle's wisdom about writing, this book comes close to doing just that. The selections address the whole writing life and capture those memorable expressions that are truly Madeleine. An inspiring and helpful resource--suitable for any writer at any stage of development."--Vinita Hampton Wright, author of "Grace at Bender Springs "and "Velma Still Cooks in Leeway ""This is a work that could only have come from Madeleine L'Engle. She is one of the few writers who has married the life of faith and the life of art together so beautifully. There are not many literary heroes among us, and if ever there was one, it is her. Within L'Engle's reflections on the mystery and the craft of writing there is more than enough wisdom to help those of us who read it to become far better writers than we might have been otherwise. Sometimes when you read a great writer when they write about the art of craft itself, you want to retire immediatelyand become a plumber. This book made me want to pick up my pen and go back to work, and to work harder than I ever have before. That is no small gift."--Robert Benson, author of "Between the Dreaming and the Coming True" and "Living Prayer" Read more...

A second violationSubmitted by Attorney (not verified) on Fri, 05/02/2008 - 8:00am.
Horrible crime aside, if Ms. Wirte is an employee of this optometry practice, she has violated this victim's privacy in a blatant HIPAA violation that could cost her employer upscale of $10,000.00 and Ms. Wirte her job. While her compassion and outrage is commendable, there is no excuse for such disregard of patient rights.

I blogged about a random purchase a few months ago. Here's the explanation, copy & pasted from that entry, for the lazy.
I wanted to honor deceased loved ones in a quiet way. While, the lit candles, reserved chair, etc. work for some, it's still not subtle enough for me and Mr. Lime. I want to honor Mr. Lime's grandmother, who pretty much raised him, my grandfather who passed away not too long ago and with whom I was pretty close despite a gap of two generations and thousands of miles, and my father. I've seen bouquet locket images out there, so I found the above earrings to somehow integrate into my bouquet. There are four slots for photos, so I'll have one extra. While searching for lockets, my treasure troves were Etsy, eBay, and Red Envelope.
Here is the finished product:
I was going to try to find something to put in the 2nd locket, but lazy bride has decided to forget it and just honor those that truly had a big role in our lives. I took off the earring hooks and put them aside, as I can maybe use them later. I edited photos in Photoshop, printed them on photo paper, and cut them in tiny circles. I'll just have my florist somehow pin or tie them onto my bouquet.
Mrs. Lime

This really pissed me off when it happened and forgot about it until I had to buy gift cards again yesterday at Target, tax free of course. I had to buy $200 worth of Visa gift cards at Walmart at the last minute for a charity fund raising event. I didn't have my tax exempt form but figured there wouldn't be tax on a gift card. Well they charge me tax and I questioned it but they insisted there was tax. So now I've paid sales tax on the $200, and then when the person goes to use them they will pay sales tax again. This can't be right, can it?
Sales tax on Visa gift cards??

Feds Advance Hydraulic Fracturing Rule
The Obama administration is on track to impose new mandates governing hydraulic fracturing on public land by the end of the year—a move that will test the White House's ability to appease worried environmentalists while still sustaining the drilling boom bolstering the US economy.
The timeline is tied to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which launched a final interagency review of the measure on 26 August. The office, which disclosed the review on 29 August, generally has 90 days to vet proposed regulations, though it can finish early and extensions are allowed.
It appears unlikely the final rule would be published before the Nov. 4 midterm elections—a benefit to several Senate Democrats in tight reelection contests who have weathered attacks from opponents seeking to tie them to the administration's energy and environmental policies.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

No. 1 Scientist on Copenhagen: "All Very Baffling"
Regular readers of my coverage of the Copenhagen climate summit know how complicated the proceedings have been. There are many points of contentions—about substance and process—being discussed on different levels and on different tracks. Journalists stuck in the Bella Bubble—the cavernous conference center where this all takes place—routinely complain about the complexity of the negotiations and about trying to figure out what's really going on, if anything. They need not feel too inadequate. Moments ago, I spotted Dr. Ranjendra Pachauri, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN-backed and Nobel-winning group of thousands of scientists, which has produced the scientific research that underpins all these talks. I asked him to assess the current state of play in the negotiations. Shaking his head and smiling, Pachauri said, "It's all very baffling to me." Really? Yes, really, he said. And this guy knows how to run scientific models of the atmosphere.

Their presentation is the final offering of Old Places, New Spaces, this year's Kansas City Architecture series.

As a kid, I always looked forward to New Year's Eve, namely because my grandmother always hosted the best party for us kids.

So today, I am channeling the entertaining queen that was my grandmother and bringing you ten super fun New Year's Eve party ideas just for kids!

I'm lost
@phantomrant said:
I'm lost
Me, too.
@phantomrant: @takashichea: @Bigheart711: 7 kinda opens up some paths for those of us that are lost. The monster part at the end an some things that happens during the episode might help ya on the way.
8 clears even more up. Shows good , very artistic modern illustration backgrounds are good. But it suffers from flashback-itus but thats the thing that makes the mystery of how things came to be work, so for me it works well enuff.
I updated the franchise page, apparently the project started with a Light Novel series paired with some catchy Vocaloid-ish songs and the plot kinda took off from there. The story behind episode 4 came from the first (and most popular) single off the album, and episode 5 came from a prequel story in the second LN. Might explain all the disjointed narrative.
I've only seen episode 1. I really enjoyed it. The look, tone, and dialog reminded me a ton of Monogatari. The first guy might as well as be Araragi and I get the feeling people are going to be popping into his life with problems that he feels compelled to solve for them. To a degree that it lessened my enjoyment. Part of me thought this was an original work created by Shaft seeing that Monogatari prints money for them like clockwork but is coming to an end and them basically cloning all of the core elements into an original series that they can market like, "If you like Monogatari than you'll love..." (like those fake perfumes and colognes) in hopes that this would be something they could essentially make forever and keep all the money for themselves. Apparently it's based off of a manga though so part of that was wrong, but man, this really does feel like a Fairy Tail level no qualms about it knock off of another series.
Anyways, it was enjoyable. Shaft is really hit, miss, or meh to me with basically everything other than Paniponi Dash and Monogatari being in the miss or meh category but this seems like one I'll enjoy.
Finished the series. While the entire tale was confusing to piece up, it was fun. My favorite character of the show ended up being Mary with my worst character of the show ended up being Momo (she was abusive and annoying to the point of wanting her shot in the head and killed).

Relating Financial and Energy Return on Investment
Received: 8 February 2011 / Revised: 18 July 2011 / Accepted: 18 August 2011 / Published: 11 October 2011
(This article belongs to the Special Issue New Studies in EROI (Energy Return on Investment))
Abstract: For many reasons, including environmental impacts and the peaking and depletion of the highest grades of fossil energy, it is very important to have sound methods for the evaluation of energy technologies and the profitability of the businesses that utilize them. In this paper we derive relations among the biophysical characteristic of an energy resource in relation to the businesses and technologies that exploit them. These relations include the energy return on energy investment (EROI), the price of energy, and the profit of an energy business. Our analyses show that EROI and the price of energy are inherently inversely related such that as EROI decreases for depleting fossil fuel production, the corresponding energy prices increase dramatically. Using energy and financial data for the oil and gas production sector, we demonstrate that the equations sufficiently describe the fundamental trends between profit, price, and EROI. For example, in 2002 an EROI of 11:1 for US oil and gas translates to an oil price of 24 $2005/barrel at a typical profit of 10%. This work sets the stage for proper EROI and price comparisons of individual fossil and renewable energy businesses as well as the electricity sector as a whole. Additionally, it presents a framework for incorporating EROI into larger economic systems models.

Seth Dixon - the teacher that sent this article at the first place - assess a very sound comment about the use of maps as tools of comprehenssion of the real world. I love maps, but can t avoid to be worried about what he is saying, so I recommend a thougthful reading of his statements. (Seth Dixon - el profesor que envió este artículo en primer lugar - hace un profundo comentario acerca del empleo de mapas como herramietas de comprensión del mundo real. Yo amo los mapas, pero no puedo evitar preocuparme por lo que (Dixon) señala, así que recomiendo una reflexiva lectura de sus planteamientos.)

Maria Popova of Brain Pickings does a great job reviewing Peter Turchi's book A Muse And A Maze: Writing As Puzzle, Mystery, And Magic. The book is fascinating because it talks about creative flow as it relates to both game design and storytelling. The insights share here validate my own experience as a storyteller, teaching storytelling, and my work in my art studio. If we draw back the veil of what is happening during story crafting -- and story telling -- reading this article gives us much insight. The result is better storytelling. Enjoy this unique piece!

MasTec's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
In today's remarks by management, we will primarily be discussing adjusted financial metrics as discussed and reconciled in yesterday's press release, 10-K and supporting schedules. In addition, we may make certain -- use of certain non-GAAP financial measures in this conference call. Also, a reconciliation of any non-GAAP financial measures not reconciled in these comments to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in our earnings press release or 10-K and on the Investor Relations side of our website at mastec.com.
With us today, we have Jose Mas, our Chief Executive Officer; Bob Campbell, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The format of the call will be opening remarks and analysis by Jose, followed by a financial review from Bob. These discussions will be followed by a Q&A answer period, and we expect the call to last about 60 minutes.
We have a lot of things to talk about today, so I'd like to turn it over to José.
Jose Ramon Mas
Thank you, Marc. Good morning, and welcome to MasTec's fourth quarter and year-end call. Today, I'll discuss our full-year results and provide an overview of 2012. Before getting into details, I'd like to take a step back and make some observations. A few years ago, we publicly set out to diversify our business and put ourselves in a position to have greater growth opportunities with improved margins. Over the course of the last 5 years, we've tripled revenues and almost quadrupled EBITDA. We've accomplished our objectives despite a difficult market environment. While these are impressive financial results, our greatest accomplishment is how we've positioned ourselves across a number of growth industries, which we feel will offer us expanding opportunities for both continued growth and better margins during an improving market environment, which we are today clearly seeing.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Cave Research Unit breaks its own record, set 30 years ago, by 30 meters
Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered the deepest cave in Israel. Located near Israel's border with Lebanon, the cave was recently mapped by researchers from the Cave Research Unit in the Hebrew University's Department of Geography: Vladimir Buslov, Yuri Lisovic, and Boaz Langford.
Reaching a depth of 187 meters below ground, the cave is 30 meters deeper than the previous record-holder, which was mapped 30 years ago. At 157 meters, the previous cave has been considered Israel's deepest since spelunkers from the Cave Research Center plumbed its depths on Mount Meron in 1984.
Directed by Prof. Amos Frumkin, the Cave Research Center studies the caves and karst of Israel, and serves as the country's national speleological (cave-exploring) organization. For more than 40 the Cave Research Unit has been finding and investigating caves all over Israel.
Prof. Frumkin said: "This particular cave is an interesting surprise, and our most significant find in recent decades. Discoveries like this give us an idea of the depth of the natural underground system that provides our groundwater, and allows us to better understand what's happening even further down. We have made serious progress in the study of caves and we look forward to further interesting discoveries soon."
The new cave was first reported by a resident of Moshav Shtula in the Upper Galilee near the Lebanese border. He passed the information to Shalev Avni, a volunteer with the Cave Research Center. The initial examination included rappelling to a depth of 100 meters below ground.
The new record brings Israel a little closer to its neighbor Lebanon, which has caves that reach as deep as 600 meters below ground. It is likely that caves of this depth and more are contained within the borders of Israel – but have not been discovered yet. Currently thousands of underground voids have been identified, while many more remain to be discovered.

If the league ended today, who would win the season awards? I know that's a really weird way to look at things but that's what we do here at The Pro Basketball Talk. The season is close to the halfway point which means the All-Star break is approaching.
It's been an interesting season to this point to say the least. Mitch Kupchak went from being a shoe-in for Executive of the Year to being in a flux and having decisions to make mid-season. Knicks fans went from hating Dolan for getting rid of Lin to completely forgetting about any insanity that happened last year. Tim Duncan continues to show no decline in his 17th season and is going to be an All-Star without a doubt. There have been many interesting stories so far and it's been an exciting first half.
Here are a few of our selections for who we think would win the season awards in this slightly surprising first two and a half months of the season.

The Franco-Prussian War: The German Invasion of France 1870 1871In 1870 Bismarck ordered the Prussian Army to invade France, inciting one of the most dramatic conflicts in European history. It transformed not only the states-system of the Continent but the whole climate of European moral and political thought. The overwhelming triumph of German military might, evoking general admiration and imitation, introduced an era of power politics, which was to reach its disastrous climax in 1914. First published in 1961 and now with a new introduction, The Franco-Prussian War is acknowledged as the definitive history of one of the most dramatic and decisive conflicts in the history of Europe. |

Urgent demand made for Contact Group on Tibet
[Tuesday, October 30, 2012 15:18]
DHARAMSHALA, October 30: Following the deadliest week in the ongoing wave of self-immolations in Tibet, Tibetans and supporters all over the world have demanded world governments to urgently form a Contact Group on Tibet and begin formulating new diplomatic strategies to address the crisis in Tibet.
Campaigners at the International Tibet Network, a group of 185 Tibet advocacy organisations, condemned China's failed policies and ongoing crackdown in Tibet, which they said "are directly responsible for this wave of self-immolation protests."
In a release today, the group also warned that Tibetan non-violent resistance is likely to intensify with China's upcoming once-a-decade leadership transition next month, unless there are radical policy changes.
"Tibetans have been challenging China's occupation of Tibet for more than 60 years, and the self-immolations clearly show the urgent need for an end to Chinese rule," said Tenzin Jigme of the International Tibet Network. "We demand that our governments stand together for the people of Tibet by urgently establishing a multi-lateral Contact Group and collectively holding Beijing accountable for its atrocities in Tibet."
Last month, the global rights group, Human Rights Watch urged governments concerned about the worsening human rights situation in Tibet to meet on the sidelines of the United Nation's General Assembly to discuss the formation of a Tibet contact group.
HRW said a Tibet contact group could "press the Chinese government to consider resuming meaningful negotiations with Tibetan representatives, and visibly demonstrate heightened international concern about deteriorating conditions."
Last week alone, seven Tibetans, including two cousins, Tsepo, 20 and Tenzin, 25, set themselves on fire demanding the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile and freedom in Tibet. 62 Tibetans; young and old, monks and nuns, farmers and nomads, students and businessmen, have set themselves on fire since 2009 protesting China's continued occupation of Tibet.
The group expressed "grave concern" over China's response to the self-immolations and charged them of "exacerbating tensions" in the region.
Chinese security forces have harshly cracked down on the self-immolators – knocking them down, brutally beating them with spiked batons, and in one instance even firing live rounds. Tibetans, who have been found "guilty" of aiding the protests and sending out information – images and videos – have been tortured and sentenced to lengthy jail terms without a fair trial.
Despite China's "escalating repressive measures," the group said Tibetan resistance is "stronger and more diverse than ever."
"The Chinese government is discovering that a display of force is unable to prevent self-immolations, mass gatherings or other diverse forms of resistance, including displaying posters and banners, recording video messages, communicating through music, literature and expressions of national identity," the release noted.
On the eve of China's power transition, the group also issued the Chinese Communist Party's leader-in-waiting Xi Jinping with a Tibet Challenge; to stand on the right side of history and address the Tibetan peoples' grievances and demands for freedom.
"In a matter of days Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party's 5th generation leaders will inherit extraordinary powers and major challenges, not least of which is China's continued efforts to control Tibet. We challenge Xi Jinping to acknowledge 60 years of policy failures and to seek a just solution to Tibetans' unquenchable desire for freedom," Jigme said.

On weekends you can do more than just snap up snappers at market prices; both spots set up food concessions where the pristine seafood gets prepped into a number of tasty snacks. Specialties of the shack at Casablanca: a dozen oysters on the half-shell ($7); three ceviches (octopus, grouper, and conch) that come in small (really too small) plastic take-out containers ($3 apiece); and a soft, flaky-crusted homemade salmon empanada ($3). You can purchase soda and water here (or bring your own beer), but the mostly Hispanic family crowd chills out by sipping coco frío (chilled coconut) through a straw.
DeArmas offers equally small plastic containers of similarly satisfying appetizers: conch ceviche, mayo-based shrimp salad, and shelled oysters. Concerning your main course: Purchase a fish filet at DeArmas, take it to the stand outside, and have them fry it up golden brown ($3 extra); a sizable salad or pile of fried green plantains are available as sides for $2 each. This outdoor stand also runs a daily special -- on one occasion pretty decent paella with grouper, squid, teeny shrimp, mussels and peas ($10 with one side).
The fare at these fisheries is fresh and honestly prepared, but it's the visuals that make lunching here worthwhile. Twenty tables set up under a sun-sheltering blue nylon awning offer vantage points to the Miami skyline, to whirlybirds landing and taking off from a nearby pad, and to pelicans posturing on bobbing boats -- the image of which, interposed with that of people enthusiastically filling their mouths with fish, brings to mind an Ogden Nash couplet: "A wonderful bird is the pelican/Its beak can hold more than its belly can."
