Second Posting!

I am writing my blog.. yea!

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately and its because I am a blogger too! Yes I am! I have embraced this great technology to publish my thoughts and actions.. a bit like an online diary, just without all the lovey dovey stuff.. like who I have a crush on.

I am starting to feel this thing we call a blog.. it can be anything I want.. as we work and live further from each other each day and just our plain ol' busy lifestyles, this blog stuff has helped to bridge the gap between me and you the reader... my client, collegue, peer, friend and of coures the unknown reader and potential future client. My way to give you updates as to what I am up to and doing or what I am into.. like what I think is cool and just want to share it with you... wow the possibilities.. 

I guess you like blogs too!

My news to tell you is to look at my facebook photos for new images, that is the last place I uploaded new images. I put them up there to make it easier for the talent to view them and everyone loves facebook! Are we friends yet?

I am updating my main site www.richglass.ca almost hourly right now, I am stoked on getting it up and running with all of it's search capibilities and larger file browser/viewer. You should check it out and drop me a line with a comment.

I am also a new user of Photoshelter , a new photographer run stock agency. You should bookmark this site now. If your a buyer go here often. If you a photographer than go sign up now and start selling.

While I am on this topic I also have images in the Allsport archive (un linkable) sold through Getty-Images. Allsport photographers were the shit! If you don't already know.. Allsport was bought by Getty back in 98' and most of the shooters are still around freelancing, working for S.I. and Getty and the likes.. I only got the pleasure of working with a few of them and I still cherish those times. The learning experiences and the social! Ahh memories.

I am getting excited for the coming summer.. too bad about the price of gas!

I have begun to organize all the little scraps of papers that I have all my shot sketches and shoot lists together into one big 3-ring binder. I can glue the scraps onto lined paper and add tear sheets. Let hope this helps me to keep them organized and ready to use when I need them.

I am a big beliver in making list and sketches to help in making good pictures. I contantly get bombarded with shot ideas and images that I want to create and I end up sketching it out and writing a shout description of the type of shot it is and now when I show up on set or need to convay my artistic idea accross to a model or client.. I have my sketches and shot list. Very pro!

Best part about having the list at the shoot is that you know what you need and you can move through your shoot more fluidily when it is planned.. shure you have to leave time for the inpromt shot or something that just happens... thats the best part of shooting pictures. So if your not in the practice of making list but you shoot stock I highly recomend you start your list now... first on the list.."start shot list/book"

Thanks for reading .. go back about your buisness and I will tell you something cool soon!
