One quick look at Dero’s website reveals that he is shooting a variety of subject matter and making a go of it in a smaller market. He shoots national advertising campaigns, PSA’s, editorial jobs and weddings. And, yes, video has become part of [...]
This afternoon, for the first time, Greg brought our new iPad to a meeting with a prospective client. Before he left, I loaded it up with a few new portfolios that I had created specifically for that client. And that’s how I discovered some serious limitations of this device.
The basic issue is that Apple has [...]
