Moving Story and Photos from Victoria

I spotted this post over at Digital Photography Schools by Neil Creek about photographing a tragedy, and decided to bookmark it to Delicious to take a closer look at it later.

This evening, I got a chance to take a look at the story behind Neil’s advice, about how he was invited to Kinglake, a town that was virtually destroyed by the wildfires, and had the chance to talk to some of the locals and hear their stories. Between the post with practical advice for shooting in those circumstances, to the moving post and photos that you can see on his own blog, Neil does a great job of sharing the experience and the stories of what happened in Kinglake.

At the end of the day, what better way to show exactly why photography is an important part of telling a story.

    Flickr Stats, a Good Start

    After spending a few days living in a world that has Flickr Stats for Pro accounts, I’ve decided that it’s incomplete at this point. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what’s there, it beats the heck out of what we’ve had prior to this, so I’m not complaining. I do, however, have some suggestions. Right…

  • Flickr Collections

    I noticed today that Flickr opened up a new feature for Pro users, collections, which allows you to create a “set of sets”. I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant, but being me, I went and toyed around with it. I took a number of sets that we’re all located in Ohio and made an…

    New York Photos

    While watching Ohio State beat Michigan again today, I processed and uploaded a batch of photos from the trip to New York last week. Despite the generally gray, November weather, I think some of them turned out pretty well. You can see them all over at Flickr. The trip itself was a lot of fun….
