NC Sneaker Summit '09

Vendors from around North Carolina gathered in Charlotte yesterday for the 2nd annual NC Sneaker Summit. This was a huge event and people came out in numbers to view and purchase the latest and greatest in athletic footwear and enjoy some music and entertainment. Many thanks to the organizers for putting this together, as well as for contacting me for photographic support for the day. Shout outs to everyone who stopped by my booth and showed love.

Redbull Soundclash feat. Foriegn Exchange and The Love Language

I got contracted by Redbull to help cover the RedBull Soundclash in Raleigh featuring The Love Language and The Foreign Exchange. The concept of this is cool and it was very nice hearing two talented bands go toe to toe covering each others work in their distinct styles. Although the weather was bad, a huge tent was setup to accommodate the huge crowd and two stages needed. Per the "applaud-o-meter, FE one the prize but everyone had a blast.

Photographers...this is for you....

Don't fall for the okie doke my friends. As working photographers, our time and talent are to be valued, not abused. Here is a cute short showing how local magazines and bootleg editors try to run game on working professional photo takers....don't become a victim. If someone approaches you about utilizing your talents, they obviously like what you do, therefore, you deserve to be compensated....and I'm not talking about "exposure" either.

...and for my Graphic Designers.
