Friday Roundup July 10 2009

What  a week it was, flew by like a whirlwind…busy, packed week. Just the perfect tonic I needed before flying out West for a much needed photo trip around Washington State!

In a non-photo related category,  I had the immense pleasure to see a living legend showcase his art a couple of nights ago: Jeff Beck. While I knew of him more than I knew him, as a guitar aficionado, it was an opportunity I couldn’t miss…and boy he didn’t disappoint. The guy rocked the place like he was 20 years old. The music was simply awesome. Not only is he a uniquely gifted musician, but he surrounded himself with some world class band mates. I couldn’t get up close, so I had to be quite creative to get interesting shots…I’ll let you be the judges (well if you promise to be nice ).

A shot but sweet Friday Roundup this week:

As a gearhead myself, I couldn’t pass up the juicy bit of scoop/speculation/rumours on Chase Jarvis’ blog yesterday…Nikon fans : hang on to your hats, this is gonna be a fun ride (not for your wallets though): check it here.

Gary Crabbe publishes a weekly “ABSOLUTELY MUST READ” list of photography business posts, while I hope you won’t ditch my Friday Roundup for his, he should be at the top of your list (right after me of course).

Still on the business side of photography, check out this post for 10 things you could do right now for your Photo business at Lighting Essentials.

Last but not least, here is some mind boggling Black and White photography by Josef Hoflefner to end the week on a  most beautiful note!

I will be away next week, so I am not sure how often I can check back (if at all). I’ll catch up with you later!
