Great Photo Biz Links for the week June 15
From Don Giannatti: Preparing yourself for getting out there as a professional photographer. A great first post in a planned series. Lots of good heads-up info you need to know if you’re thinking that being a pro photographer is in your future.
From Scott Bourne: Get Creative: Telling Stories with your Camera. Be Brave, Shoot, Practice, Experiment; Stretch your boundaries. Learn to tell stories.
From Jim Goldstein: If it’s on the Internet, it’s free! Didn’t you get the Memo? A good rant following a number of recent incidents, including the US Family showing up in Czech grocery store window ad, and another photographers image being Farked into a million pieces.
From PhotoShelter & Peter Krogh: Digital Asset Management and the Professional Photographer. One of the most pressing issues faced my the modern professional: how do you manage your workflow from capture, to output, to archiving, and everything in between.
From John Lund: Interview with Dan Heller. John ask Dan about SEO and the scope of the stock photo marketplace. Personally I was a bit disappointed not to see any mention of Picscout or other image recognition technologies and their usefulness to photographers, but I understand that might be a ’sensitive’ topic at the moment.
Bonus Link: From ZenHabits: The 10 Essential Rules for Slowing Down and Enjoying Life More. Mindful disconnectedness can be a good thing; preserve your vital energies that you need to fuel your creative self.

Good stuff Gary. I think at this point, Dan should probably refrain from talking about Pic Scout any further. I just don’t see any benefit in continuing to do so.

Thanks for the comments, guys. @ Richard; I didn’t mean about his loss of position at Picscout, but more just about his thought on image recognition, which could have included TinEye, and how photographers will benefit from those new technologies.
Cheers,
Gary.

Thanks Gary, these are great links. I think I will take a break from processing images for a bit to have a read.
Cheers,
Joe
