The problem with words…
Recently, I learned that the Isle of Palms (IOP) in South Carolina has made it illegal for photographers to take commercial photography onto the public beaches. The specific phraseology of a recently posted page for IOP states that: “Commercial activity, including photograpy, is prohibited on the Isle of Palms beach. Unless a special exemption is granted by City Council, photographers who take portraits or photographs on the Isle of Palms beach as part of a commercial transaction are in violation of City ordinances.” For now I will ignore the part where they mis-spelled photography as ‘photograpy’ (because it’s probably just … Continue reading
Monthly Poll – Twitter and Blogging
I was talking with a friend on Twitter last night, and despite the etiquette against chatting back and forth repeatedly, we had quite a lively discussion on the subject of using Twitter to promote/market/advertise your blog. Rather than regale the readership with the discussion, I’ll simply leave the voting unhindered by personal bias, save for one link – a post one of us read on Twitter etiquette a while back: http://tinyurl.com/5lcrqr With that pretext set, we’d all be interested in hearing the blogosphere thoughts on this subject.

Here’s the show notes: Cards as gifts Photo Contest Watcher Top 8 of ’08 Nominees thus far … Continue reading

A change of plans
This week I am adding a new feature to the blog, in hopes of making things more interactive, and as a means of contributing market research for the field of photography as a whole. In all the blog posts I’ve done over the past year (we’re getting close too…), the content has really been focused on information I’ve put together that I thought could be helpful to others. Well, no man is an island, so I am going to start incorporating weekly polls for people to participate in. These polls are created by a company called VIzu that does market … Continue reading
