I posted on my twitter how I thought that David Hobby must have metric buttloads of Whuffie (the currency based on reputation and what you do for the greater good), but I'll tell ya... this Chase Jarvis fella's got to be pretty close.
Chase [blog] is the golden one of modern photography, to my mind. He runs big studio, splits his time between Seattle, Paris and location shoots. He must have wicked frequent flyer points. In the middle of all of this he has somebody filming their shoots so he can put it up on his blog and on iTunes for everybody to learn how to do pictures like he does. So awesome.
So Chase & his team meet with the Seattle Strobists (followers of David Hobby's Strobist blog) and ask what he and his staff can do to help them learn more (here's Chase's post about the meeting.).
The result: Chase rented an empty airplane hanger, got a bunch of models and invited them all to come in. Oh, and when they were done Chase threw them a party at his studio. Here's the result:
From Chase:

Pictures from Jeff & Michelle's Maternity shoot last Friday.
[Must get faster computer so that I don't throw this one and then take the chainsaw to it.]
George Lange put together a bunch of his 2006 photos in a "video flip book" and it is a great five minutes to just sit back and enjoy a master portrait photographer.
Must take more pictures...

Clay Enos is one of my favourite and most inspiring photographers. As I think more and more about doing this for a living I have been doing lots of looking at weddings as a really fun way to make some money to get some gear and some great experience.
But... Enos makes me realize that I need to make sure that I balance stuff like that with photography as a tool to teach others. I love his travel photographs.
More of his stuff on Flickr.
With thanks to one of our staff members and our camp board chair I found out that I won one of the categories in the annual Our Kids/Society of Camp Directors photo contest with this picture.
One of my favourite photographers is Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir,
a woman from Iceland who has gotten professional photography gigs
because of her Flickr pictures (a hero!). She has just released a
claymation video that she made for a class. It is called The Dinosaur
Game and is based on a conversation that her two kids had one day.
I can't get the YouTube video to load here so you'll have to jump on over to:
