I came across an interesting post this afternoon about a possible security issue with Wordpress. Since so many of you use WP to run your photoblogs, I figured I would pass along a link. The fix is super simple, and I have implemented it on all my sites without issue…would recommend that you check it out.
Getting your foot in the door – Your first gallery presentation
March 18th, 2009 by
So a few weeks back now, I got a question from Jason about getting his work into a gallery the first time around. I forwarded his question onto a friend on mine you runs a local gallery here in Toronto called The Cryptic Canvas, and she was kind enough to give me some pointers. There are some awesome tips in here so enjoy.
Building an online print business from your photoblog
March 17th, 2009 by
As most of you know by now, one of my main goals has always been to build a print business based on my photoblog (although you’d never know that based on the number of recent updates!). There’s a great (albeit short) article in this month’s PDN magazine which describes several photographer’s experiences while trying to sell prints from a website. You can check out the audio slideshow here, and I would encourage you to check out the following sites.
Cole Thompson – Cole built his online business with a ton of hardwork and some SEO!
Thomas D. Mangelsen – A little bit of a stretch when you’re just getting started, but it’s something to shoot for!
Looking for inspiration?
February 24th, 2009 by
So it’s winter, and sometimes it can be very hard to get behind the camera and stay focused (I am speaking from about 3 months of experience). If you’re looking for inspiration, check out Zack Arias’ website, and more importantly the video he just created for Scott Kelby…If that doesn’t inspire you…well we need to talk!
Get out there and shoot!
Thanks for the heads up Bob
Gallery Promotion – finally!
February 19th, 2009 by
Ok, so I know that I have been slacking off lately – badly, but I finally managed to get the Gallery Promotion page up – well at least a place holder for it…
Here’s my idea. If your (or someone you know) work is being displayed in a gallery or is scheduled to be displayed, let me know, and I will post details about it here…
Offline Promotion of your Photoblog
February 13th, 2009 by
I am a big fan of Chase Jarvis’ blog for a number of reasons, the first being that I find his posts very informative, and secondly inspirational – hence this post. After reading about his totally awesome holiday mailer, I decided to share my own experience’s with my own holiday mailer.
Print exchange – what a great idea!
February 3rd, 2009 by
So, I’ve been procrastinating again, and decided to check out one of my favourite photoblogs, wastedphotos (the profile questions are coming Brad – I promise!) and was blown away by a super simple idea Brad mentions in one of his posts – a print exchange! What a great way to get some of your work out there in the world for others to see!
Drop by wastedphotos and check out the “Communist Photoing” post, by the way, this photoblog has some of the wittiest titles and commentary I have come across.
New Media Photographer – great blog
January 27th, 2009 by
Some of you know just how addicted I am to my RSS reader, and I’ve recently added a great new resource to the lists of blogs I now follow. Rosh Stillar’s New Media Photographer is a great blog, which I think every photoblogger should be following. If you haven’t see Rosh’s blog before, I strongly suggest you check it out today! You won’t be disappointed.
