Circus Mexicus
Jun 11, 2010 Concert Photography, Photography Discussion
A last minute photo/video assignment came up on Tuesday that has me headed to Rocky Point, Mexico this morning. Chadwick Fowler, one of the people who holds the bar for music photography, asked me to assist him on an ambitious project he is working on for RCPM.
The magnitude of this project is larger than anything I’ve ever worked on and the only time I’ve worked a series of events as a team. I am headed to Mexico, ego aside to work on something special. This project falls perfectly in line with my model of collaboration – I love it.
Circus Mexicus is a weekend of festivities hosted by Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers. We will be working a preliminary show at JJ’s Cantina with all the opening bands, a beach soccer tournament, the main show Saturday night at Changos and then we’ll return to JJ’s for the “Hangover Bash.” I said it was ambitous.
The expectations I have for the weekend are to have some fun, learn a lot, come back a better/smarter photographer, devise a comprehensive PR strategy for the project and GRT2 Studios plus make something we are all extremely proud of afterwards
¡Adios amigos!

Photography FAIL
Jun 10, 2010 Photography Discussion
The biggest photo fail of the year. Yeah that’s a bold statement but I’m running with it. My Photo365 Project has ceased. (Click here for a link to previous photo 365 video post.)
I have a million reasons why. Well, maybe not a million but there are some reasons why it happened. The main reason – I lost interest. You know I’m a fan of transparency, so there you have it. I lost interest in the project and I’m disappointed.
I noticed interest started to wane when I stopped editing the photos in Aperture. After that I start I stopped importing the shots from my camera. Now we are at this point where I have missed several days in a row and I don’t seeing it starting up again. (Plus, self portraits everyday is harder than it sounds.)
It’s been said that true success can’t be measured until after you experience failure. I look forward to being on the other side of that coin soon.
Have you ever experienced an artistic or photography failure? Please share it and get it off your chest.
