Wear Good Shoes: Advice to young photographers

http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2008/11/wear_good_shoes_advice_to_young_photographers.html

my answers

When did you first get excited about photography?

First time I saw a LaChapelle photo.

What advice would you give young photographers?

Shoot less. Think more.

On a side note, they might not have been lying when they said the overall Internet will get slower. Seems to be happening. And I have the fastest connect/settings to load websites in this country.

The kids are alright

"Mr Tapscott identifies eight norms that define Net Geners, which he believes everyone should take on board to avoid being swept away by the sort of generational tsunami that helped Barack Obama beat John McCain. Net Geners value freedom and choice in everything they do. They love to customise and personalise. They scrutinise everything. They demand integrity and openness, including when deciding what to buy and where to work. They want entertainment and play in their work and education, as well as their social life. They love to collaborate. They expect everything to happen fast. And they expect constant innovation."

every single one is true. speed being the most important. i want something faster than instant. ie wiki knowledge.

one thing i will say is it's a shame so many writers/journalists are losing jobs. good writing is extremely hard to do. the process is far from instant and should be paid well as such.

cw update

stylista - this show is major win. much much better than i thought it would be. watching whole season for sure.

top model - not for me. i will tune in to a finale here and there when someone tells me to.

privileged - fail. on the fall preview they made it seem like they were mixing superficial with trying to have a meaning. those opposites make no sense. didn't even bother checking it out until last week. didn't make it through the first episode. might have something to do with very few guys in it. gg and 90210 have the dudes to go with the pretty girls. maybe some traveling pant watchers would like it or something i dunno.

Having done well with a remake of ”Beverly Hills 90210” this season, the CW network is considering a remake of that show’s spinoff, ”Melrose Place.”

hmm. could work i guess. i'll tell you what else could work. models inc. on dvd!!!

The television shows “Valentine” and “Easy Money,” which made their debuts on CW on Oct. 5, have been put on hiatus for six weeks, today’s New York Times notes.

i got a glimpse of valentine and it actually looked pretty good. it's on the list to catch up. checking out easy money right now.

(add celebrity rehab with Dr.Drew and pickup artist to the general tv update list non cw related.)

chanel makes the nicest women's shoes in the world, consistently. i don't care how much jimmy choo's cost...

"But Ms Chiquet says the company will have to “get smarter and more aggressive in some ways about how we’re going to spend our money”, meaning that Chanel may no longer be able to have five advertising campaigns running at a time."

Mourning Old Media’s Decline

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/29/business/media/29carr.html

8000 newsroom jobs have been lost in america in the last year. 

"USA Today was made exempt from the current rounds of cuts at Gannett but even national papers, including The New York Times, have resorted to modest staff cuts over the last year."

New york times needs to NOT be downsized in any way. It is vitally important.

Nobody gives a shit if Jonny Whoever washed a car in Nowhereland, America. That's why I could care less if a paper from a small city goes from 25 staff to 8 and can't afford the latest five thousand dollar camera. 

But NYT is THE best paper in the world. 

The reason papers are failing besides the 'it's very hard to make money on web ads' reason, is because if you flip a paper, there are like two stories that are appealing. In today's world, we might read 20 articles a day. (We're in an instant information age.) So that is why we fulfill our interests with blogs and different views.

So what to do? Hire smarter people to write stories. Listen to the readers and write articles about their interests. Use more than ONE photo EVEN IN THE PAPER VERSION for an article. Make the photos look every bit as good as the Entourage advertisement in your paper. It's called sharpening.

Embrace radical new designs for paper newspapers. Make them look better. Let an art director/graphic designer have their way with an entire section. That happens with magazines and video magazines.

Find a paper that is less dirty. Reward your paper readers.

Less can be more. Filling an entire page is optional.

If it looks better, people will buy it. True story.

But the number one thing is longer stories. You are covering it anyway. If I can read a story in two minutes, it's not interesting.  NYT does this right.

ALSO: inch or inch and a half columns suck. WIDER.

Justice - Stress

o shit

bluray only

the switch to bluray is mainstream. bond movies, godfather, criterion and all that. 1080p tvs under a grand...

watching a dvd quality movie will be the exception from this point on.

indie movies step up yo game. hope to see titanic within a year.

No. 1 escort tells (almost) all

Four years ago she was New York's highest-paid escort. Now she's a typical twentysomething Montrealer. Natalie McLennan sits down with Siri Agrell and dishes on her new book, the upside of sex for money and Ashley Dupré, the woman who brought down Eliot Spitzer

my movie revues #33

I don't bother finishing movies that I don't like anymore. So basically everything I mention now will be recommended. No need to mention the ones I didn't like.

la graine et le mulet - nice story. won best film at cesars. will inspire you to cook couscous for real.
harold & kumar go to white castle hd - they gotta make these films forever. always funny.
harold & kumar escape from guantanamo bay hd - too funny.
jumper hd - nice worldwind of a film.
ne le dis à personne a.k.a. tell no one hd - best film of the year maybe. huge critical reception this past summer as it hit the states.
vantage point hd - kinda cool.
what happens in vegas hd - was fun with the constant elastic chemistry between the couple.
the bank job hd - very good.
the dark knight - not bad.
boy a hd - very good. saw it in 4k. complex story about life after a horrible crime.

I think that's about all the movies I watched this past summer. But I got a lot of great obscure ones lined up.

conan the man

i always thought someone should compile stills of conan making funny faces. if anyone ever does, here's one.

Kanye - Love Lockdown

i don't know what to think of videos nowadays. kinda cool i guess.

Common Ft Pharrell - Universal Mind Control

trippy ass shit

after a summer of fun, it's only right to settle back into the fally routine.

the real reason to update this blog is because there is no other way to keep track of the tv shows i watch.

this blog is not a priority and i have no idea how often i will post stuff. but when i do, it will be the same kind of content as before.

the end

it's over. that was fun. learned a bunch along the way.

if you want another good blog, i recommend kanye's.

the contents of this blog will never be deleted, but never updated again either.
