CPMcB did get his bandana

I think he liked it......

dvds vs laptop

Is it better to burn DVDs or can we keep things on our laptops and show them that way?\

Thanks!

Weather for this Weekend

I confess, I'm a weather geek. I studied meteorology pretty heavily in school before I threw myself into photojournalism. So i ran some numbers, studied the models from a few different sources and checked with other weather geeks and found this forecast to be the best.

Shorthand:
It will be beautiful. Partly to mostly cloudy most days with light winds (under 10mph). Temperatures will be as high as the lower-mid 80s and the lows at night should only drop to the upper to mid 50s.... No rain is prevalent in any of the models from Friday - Monday.

Daily forecast: I took this from weathertap.com - their forecast was about dead on with what i saw in the models

FRIDAY:
Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 80s. Light and variable winds.
FRIDAY NIGHT:
Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 50s. Light and variable winds.

SATURDAY:
Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 80s. Light and variable winds...becoming west around 10 mph in the afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT:
Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 50s.

SUNDAY:
Partly sunny. Highs around 80.
SUNDAY NIGHT:
Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 50s.

MONDAY:
Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 70s.
MONDAY NIGHT:
Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s.


See you at the Barn.

Getting excited...

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone else is taking the bus from midtown and if anyone has more info on where exactly we are supposed to meet? Also, we got that e-mail this morning about bringing an outfit of all black clothes... does anyone know what we are going to be doing in those clothes (I ask because I only have black dresses- didn't know if that would be ok or if I should go buy some black pants today)? Ok. That's all for now- I can't wait to meet everyone tomorrow!!

So here is the deal.. What you are in for is a mind blowing experience that will resonate for a life time. There is so much to it.. What I am about to say is just ... my opinion.. my experience.. you will have your own unique story to tell.... EAW is about building relationships with fellow photographers, editors, and other folks in our biz. You are entering a community of like minded people who really want to help you, not only over the weekend, but through your career . There will be lectures from top notch photographers.. , panel discussion by groups, like stock companies and agencies.. One on one critiques/reviews of your work.. Demos from the sponsors.. like profoto, and Nikon.. And of course you will be go into the field Sat and sunday and shoot.. Chris R. our producer.. Is working on an assignment /subject for each member of our yellow team.. Our topic is "drugs". We are telling that story in 7-12 pictures here..... This is where the fun is.. Jose Azel our editor and other team members will discuss your strengths and weakness. You will take these comments into your 2nd day of shooting.
Now listen up fools! Some teams and team leaders are mad competitive, but this isn't how we run the yellow team.. The shooting you do at the farm is important.. You need to push and challenge yourselves to do your best.... However, the pictures you will make are but a small part of the entire weekend's process.. I have seen students suffer because they become way too attached to the pictures and frustrations in shooting.. Unsatisfied and self absorbed they loose sight of all the other magnificent things that are going on around them.. THIS IS NOT WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.. I am into the idea that developing your vision and path as a photographer is a journey and not a race. Ironically, people who struggle in their shooting at the workshop seem to learn the most.. I am really into the idea of working as a team and coming together as a unit. Oneness....
lock and load!

pics not yet published

Hey,

I have an overall question about portofolios: what is the protocol showing work that has been shot for magazines that hasn't yet come out. Can I show the editors at Eddie Adams pics that a magazine or newspaper commissioned but hasn't been printed yet?

Quick Question

So last night I was laying in bed, dreaming about this weekend, when, BAM! I realized I may want to bring more CF cards than I currently have... so my question is twofold: 1. I know there is equipment available for us to use, but are there CF cards? And if not, are you recommending that we shoot in RAW or JPG?
Thanks in advance for your answer... it will help me to get more of this sleep everyone keeps telling us is so important before this weekend! :) Can't wait!
