Sometimes I love our interconnected world.

A few weeks ago, I saw a picture on the BBC website of an adorable manatee mother and child. I loved it, and I wondered if I could get a print. I looked up the credited photographer, and found him at his university. I emailed a query.

He emailed back from a different address saying that he keeps his photography and his employment income separate. (Excellent work, good job, sir!) He said he DOES sell prints. He has them custom printed by a museum-quality print shop, and that I could have basically any size I wanted.

So I said yes, absolutely! How can I pay you?

He replied that he usually sends the print out first and if the customer is satisfied he sends an invoice. He also noted that communication might be spotty because he is on a photoshoot of endangered animals IN THE FUCKING AMAZON.

I said absolutely no problem are you fucking kidding me. The print arrived today, it is gorgeous, stunning, absolutely museum quality. He is going to email me the invoice tomorrow if his internet holds out because UPRIVER IN THE AMAZON.

So I, in Minnesota, ordered a print from a researcher in Florida that I saw on the BBC that was printed for me in Washington D.C. and the invoice is being emailed to me from the Amazon.

Whenever I feel down about the dystopian nature of the planet, I think about shit like this.

Humans can be pretty goddamn great, and so can technology.

guh. well. I wasn't looking forward to making another commissions post yet here we are.

here's the deal: on Feb 15/16, i had to go to the ER for some serious abdominal pain and other unpleasant issues that i won't go into. while i'm still waiting on the results of their labs (they're assuming it's an infection of. some variety), i'm also waiting on the bill. which i know won't be pretty. i'm estimating at LEAST $2k. that coupled with my other medical expenses from past and future appointments (as well as my cat's medical expenses) puts me in a position where i COULD potentially pay everything off with my savings, but then i would have literally nothing left. which isn't great since i do still have to pay bills and buy groceries and such.

to avoid that, i am once again asking for commissions. i'm putting my rules/price structure under the cut. PLEASE consider commissioning a small trans artist like moi and PLEASE reblog this post to spread the word (but don't tag as s*gnal b**st, thank you!)

pricing and rules:

prices depend on time and medium, but expect the base price for most pieces to be around $170. as always, i am willing to negotiate pricing so long as it’s reasonable HOW I CALCULATE FEES: $170 (rounded up from 168 cos i like numbers that end in 0’s and 5’s)  = $28/hr * 4 (the average amount of time I spend on a fully colored/rendered commission) + the “Starving Artist Fee” (50% of the hourly sum, this pays for gas, groceries, and cat food)

i will only start a piece after i have confirmed payment through p*ypal or v*nmo. please tell me the best email to use for invoicing and i will send you an invoice (through p*ypal) with the price we discuss. dm me for my v*nmo username 

i am also taking commissions for D&D miniatures. my goal is to buy a light box for photography so i can better advertise them. the base price for a standard 28mm mini is $50. if you’re interested, please message me for details

additional info:

stuff I’ll draw: Oc’s (references/descriptions please!) D&D characters (same as above!) Mild blood/gore LGBTQ+ stuff Furry stuff

stuff I won’t draw: R-18 Hate speech (if ur a terf or a nazi or whatever, get the fuck off my page, numbnuts, lol!) Excessive gore/violence Mechs (i have no patience for it) P*dophilia. Fuck off with that i will report u

The American photographer Elliott Erwitt, who has died aged 95, was renowned for his largely unposed images of famous people. Among the political figures he caught on film were Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, laughing and waving a cigar in Havana (1964); Jacqueline Kennedy swathed in a black veil at her husband’s funeral in 1963; and Richard Nixon, pointing and jabbing his finger at Nikita Khrushchev’s chest in 1959.

Cultural figures included Marilyn Monroe showing a leg while filming The Seven Year Itch in 1954; Jack Kerouac, unusually meditative, wearing a tie, in 1953; and Dustin Hoffman, with whom Erwitt made a short film, The Many Faces of Dustin Hoffman (1968). Animals were his obsession, and he devoted several books to pictures of dogs, with titles such as Woof (2005) and DogDogs (1998), as well as another short film, I Bark at Dogs (2011).

He spent nearly 80 years behind a camera (for preference a Leica 35mm or a Rolleiflex medium format), selecting subjects from around the world, and working primarily in black-and-white, though he could use colour to make a point.

According to Erwitt, who disliked over-theoretical analysis: “Colour is descriptive. Black-and-white is interpretative.” He defined photography as “an art of observation” or “a biography of a moment”. He suggested that artistry lies in “finding something interesting in an ordinary place … I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

In his view everything has photographic potential. If you care to look, he wrote, “you can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter of noticing things and organising them. You just have to care about what’s around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.”

He cared a great deal, politically and personally. Erwitt was furious rather than flattered that the Republicans used his Nixon/Khrushchev image (without his permission) for their 1960 presidential campaign, and sent a $500 invoice, which was paid. It can be viewed as Nixon bullishly asserting the US against the USSR, and represented what Erwitt most abhorred in US politics.

He was born Elio Ervitz in Paris, the son of Orthodox Jewish parents, Eugenia and Boris, who had fled Russia following the 1917 Revolution. His forenames were his father’s choice since “he had once attended the University of Rome … and liked it”, and he later anglicised his name. The family moved to Milan, until the rise of fascism prompted their return to Paris in 1938.

Although Erwitt’s parents had separated, a year later all three left together for New York, then Los Angeles. Erwitt completed his schooling there in 1947, and a year later he returned to New York to embark on film studies at the New School. He then joined the US army Signal Corps and, while serving in Europe (1951-53), his fluency in four languages assisted him in compiling his portfolio.

He gained further experience working as a film cameraman in France; a staffer for the Standard Oil Company and Pittsburgh Photo Library; and then – increasingly – as a contributor to a variety of new picture magazines including Look, Life and Holiday, which provided his entry into the prestigious Magnum Photo Agency, established in Paris and New York in 1947.

Robert Capa, one of Magnum’s four founder members, recruited Erwitt, and a fellow founder, Henri Cartier-Bresson, championed him, describing him as “working on a chain-gang of commercial campaigns and still offering a bouquet of stolen photos with a flavour and smile from his inner self”. Praise indeed, which Erwitt later returned in a homage to Cartier-Bresson’s Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare (1932) with Umbrella Jump in Paris (1989), which captures the balletic leap of a man over a puddle beneath the Eiffel Tower during a rainstorm.

Alongside his sense of empathy, Erwitt maintained his sense of humour. Humans’ capacity for projecting their attitudes – and fashion fads – on to their pets was a reliable subject. One image, New York City, 1974 (Dog Legs), taken at knee level, shows a diminutive pooch in a fancy knitted beret, next to a pair of a women’s fashionable, shiny boots, with another pair of taller legs, clearly canine, completing the lineup. It was a perfect example of stylistic crossover: what appears to be a found image was in fact a shoe advert.

In another image from the same year, a disgruntled-looking bulldog squats on a brownstone doorstep, next to a much larger bulldog squatting on the lap of a human, obliterating any view of his master’s face. Erwitt not only loved dogs, but enjoyed seeing the world from a dog’s eye level.

He was not afraid of humour even in more ghoulish surroundings. In 1955, he shot the naturally preserved naked Mexican mummies lining the museum walls at Guanajuato. Their desiccated skins, slack jaws and awkwardly positioned limbs flank a prettily dressed young couple. The blond lad, in an American-style checked shirt, is pointing, in spirited discussion with his girlfriend. They appear as incongruous as their silent observers.

The incongruous and the absurd became hallmarks of Erwitt’s work, as did political events. In one sequence both came together, during Nelson Rockefeller’s campaigning for the Republicans in 1962. Once more taking a mutt’s eye view of humans, the first shot shows one apparently observing intently; in the next he has turned to sniff the ground; and in the third he raises a back leg. “Fair comment,” a viewer might say. Erwitt’s conclusion was, after all, that: “The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.”

His work appeared all over the world, including several shows at the International Center of Photography in New York, Elliott Erwitt: a one-man exhibition at the Barbican in London in 1989; and a retrospective at the Musée Maillol, Paris, earlier this year.

Erwitt married and was divorced from four wives: Lucienne Van Kan, from 1953 to 1960; Diana Dann, from 1967 to 1974; Susan Ringo, from 1977 to 1984; and Pia Frankenberg, from 1998 to 2012. He is survived by two daughters, Ellen and Jennifer, and two sons, Misha and David, from his first marriage; two daughters, Sasha and Amelia, from his third marriage; 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

[summer-at-peel]

It's been a busy week! Between finishing my Maymester course and getting settled in at Peel, I haven't had time to post. I've been working for about a week now, but future updates will definitely be more often than weekly.

My first day here, I did some product photography for Father's Day. These pictures are definitely my favorite from amongst those.

The big project that weekend, though, was trimming down about 120 wedding invitations on the Rotatrim for a customer order. I can't post a picture because they have private info, but it was really cool to get to work on something that is part of such a momentous life occasion. I also cut down some flyers, which were less exciting, but I can actually post. I could definitely tell I was developing a much better and quicker method for operating the Rotatrim by the end, and so I went back and cleaned up some of the first invites I cut.

In the past few days, I have also done work that has given me a better feel for how the gallery and store operate. It sounds kind of boring, but I worked on adding price labels to some of the products we got in stock, which involved locating the products on the invoices to find the sale price. The price the gallery pays to the artists was also listed, which really helped me understand the price margins that a store like Peel operates on. Specifically, those were products meant for wholesale, which means the gallery purchases them from the artists up-front and then makes money whenever a customer buys them. Many of the smaller things in the store are sold this way. For most original artworks, however, it is based on commission: both the artist and gallery only get paid once the work is purchased.

On that note, I put out some artwork for sale! Some we had shelf space for, but others I had to hang on the wall and move around other works to make room for.

The next day, I spent some time watching Lindsay do color correction on a client photo, learning about how to do more advanced editing in Photoshop and making suggestions for how we may get the effect we want. I learned about some Photoshop features I had completely overlooked before. The original photo was a scan from a canvas print with an incredibly pink hue, but we were able to process the photo enough to nearly fully restore the natural color. I think everyone who works at the gallery did at least a little bit of work on that project.

Later that day, I helped pick out which works by a local fabric artist to stock. These are going to be sold on commission, so she dropped them off with us and we will let her know when they sell so she can be paid.

Also, I learned how to run the register. The main thing thing they made sure to emphasize was that, if the work or product being sold was not already listed in the point-of-sale system, I should write a note of what the item is that makes it clear what sold and take a picture if necessary. This is especially important with original artworks and prints sold on commission, as the artists has not yet been paid, and we must know who we own money to. As I get more familiar with the works in the gallery and the artists we work with, I expect to get better at recognizing the art that is being sold.

Finally, this morning, I helped set up for a book binding workshop by a local artist. I also helped demonstrate parts of the process I knew when people asked questions.

And now, as everyone is settled in and working on their books, I am writing this post! This has been a phenomenal week, and I am very much looking forward to the rest of the summer!

Simplify Your Photography Life: Time-Saving Apps for Pros

Being a professional photographer is a constant juggling act. You're an artist capturing breathtaking images, a business owner managing projects and finances, and a social media whiz showcasing your work to the world. But what if there were tools to help you streamline your workflow and free up precious time to focus on what matters most – creating stunning photography?

Enter the wonderful world of professional photographer apps! These time-saving wonders can simplify every aspect of your photographic journey, from pre-production planning to client communication and post-processing.

Pre-Production and Scouting:

Location Scouting Made Easy: Ditch the time-consuming physical scouting trips. Apps like Google Maps and Maps.me (with offline functionality) allow you to explore potential shooting locations virtually. Check accessibility, create and share custom location lists with your team, and arrive on shoot day prepared.

Planning and Budgeting with Ease: Project management apps like Asana and Trello are fantastic for organizing pre-production tasks. Create to-do lists, assign tasks to team members, and track deadlines, ensuring everything runs smoothly on shoot day.

Predicting the Perfect Light: No more guesswork! Apps like PhotoPills and The Photographer's Ephemeris predict sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times based on your location. This allows you to plan shoots for the most captivating lighting conditions, whether it's capturing dreamy golden hour portraits or dramatic moonlit landscapes.

Capture with Confidence:

Tethering for Precision Control: Most major camera manufacturers offer dedicated mobile apps that allow remote control (tethering) of your camera settings. This is a game-changer for studio shoots, product photography, or situations requiring precise control over aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

Wireless File Transfer on the Go: Streamline your workflow with apps like AirDrop (Apple devices) or Snapdrop (cross-platform). These apps allow you to wirelessly transfer photos from your camera to your editing device, saving valuable time compared to traditional cable connections.

Post-Processing Power:

Batch Editing Magic: Short on time? Batch editing tools in Adobe Lightroom Classic or Capture One Pro allow you to apply the same edits to multiple photos at once. This is a lifesaver for weddings, events, or situations where you need to edit a large volume of images quickly.

Presets for Efficiency: Create custom presets in Lightroom Mobile or VSCO to streamline your mobile editing workflow. Apply your favorite edits to photos with a single tap, saving time and ensuring consistent results across your images.

Organization and Management:

Cloud Storage for Peace of Mind: Losing precious photos is a professional photographer's worst nightmare. Reliable cloud storage solutions like Adobe Creative Cloud or Dropbox ensure your valuable photos are always backed up and accessible from anywhere. These services also offer collaborative features, allowing you to share images with clients or team members.

Taming the Photo Chaos: Managing vast image libraries can be a time-consuming chore. Photo management apps like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic or portfolio management platforms like Folio Aperture or Format help organize photos by project, keyword, or other relevant criteria. This makes it easier to find specific images and ensures a smooth post-production workflow.

Client Communication and Marketing:

Effortless Social Media Management: Platforms like Later or Hootsuite allow you to schedule social media posts across various platforms in advance. This saves you time from daily posting and ensures consistent brand messaging to build a strong online presence and attract new clients.

Client Communication Made Easy: Apps like Dubsado or HoneyBook offer project management tools, invoicing options, and secure client portals for sharing images and contracts. Streamline communication with clients, keep projects organized, and create a professional experience from start to finish.

Contract Templates for Efficiency: Eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel every time you work with a new client. Legal service platforms like Bonsai or DocuSign offer customizable contract templates specifically designed for photography services. This saves you time drafting contracts and ensures key terms are always covered.

Bonus App:

Effortless Accounting: Simplify your finances with accounting apps like QuickBooks or Xero. These apps help you track income and expenses, generate invoices, and manage your tax obligations, freeing you from tedious bookkeeping tasks.

Remember:

The ideal set of professional photographer apps will depend on your specific needs and workflow. Experiment with different apps to discover what works best for you and leverage free trial periods before committing to a paid subscription. By incorporating these time-saving tools, you can simplify your photography life, boost your efficiency, and focus on what you do best – capturing captivating images and building a thriving photography business.

Life update stuff under cut.

Given everything that happened a few days ago, I am trying my hardest to bunker down and work on art to get more stuff up on Threadless. I’m going to start divvying up percentages of what I make on there towards Palestinian GFMs and Humanitarian Aid funds. I’ll make a separate post about this, however; once I get all of the things I have up there updated with the capability of being on all product lines they carry. Some stuff will probably look clunky or awkward (example: the photography on t-shirts), but they still kinda give a vibe. Threadless just doesn’t work very well on my tablet for some reason.

Fandom related art can be purchased directly through me, I just need to be contacted via DMs and we can discuss further all the options I have currently available and what I can make. From there I can create an invoice. This option is currently only available to things I have finished.

From what it sounds like, my grandmother is making zero attempts to actually help herself. It’s not exactly surprising by any means, but she is still calling my father and uncle, lying to them saying that they’re letting her go home. The facility she’s at won’t even let her walk outside of the physical therapy because she doesn’t have a ton of strength in her left leg; there’s no way in hell she’s gonna be able to go home if she can’t walk. It sounds like she may have some hemiplegia or hemiparesis, but I’m not completely sure. The neurologist was supposed to go see her to confirm whether or not she had a stroke, but never actually did what was asked. We need to know if she had another one because if she did, then we need to document it. My dad has another meeting with the facility on Wednesday to discuss the next steps.

The more shocking thing about all of this is that my uncle is actually (currently) on board with selling the house to me and my brother. Obviously, we have to wait to see what’s said and done, but I’m tempted to ask about it being a possible short sell and then we pay off the remaining as some form of rent or something. I dunno how exactly we’d do it, but it’s something to discuss. I’d rather the home be outright owned by myself and my brother and then we essentially pay off the rest as a sort of rent and then it would be between me and him what happens when one of us wants to break off to our own place. This way it’s not a seizable asset if the insurance company wants her assets as part of collateral to have her in a home. It’s a later discussion, though.

I’m trying to keep optimistic about everything going on. It’s hard when your father showed his true colors about how violent he can be (I already knew but 🤷🏼🤷🏼), but all I can do is just try to keep my head up in the face of it all. I think once my nerves do actually calm down from everything, I’ll be back to normal, but it’s just still that shock of like… yeah, I’m not safe at home. Y’know? I actually haven’t stopped shaking since that day.

Just, fingers crossed that everything eventually gets sorted out. I love having my own place, but goddamn do I really want my own bed.
