And every once in a great while, when disaster strikes, you save your butt. But after you've backed up, what then? Can you relax? Well, yes, a little bit--but not too...

Picture This!
Made In The Shade

Shutterbug Staff | Apr 01, 2005

Our Picture This! assignment this month was "made in the shade"; pictures made under overcast sky, dark forest canopies, or anywhere the bright sun doesn't shine. Ask a wedding photographer, for example, his or her preference for a wedding day's shoot and generally they'll tell you one with a good cloud cover, even though the bride and groom might be...

In a world of increasing digital dominance, Nikon has again taken a bold step and introduced a camera that should keep film-based photographers happy for some time to come.

Making A “Monte” Portrait
Take A Simple, Direct Approach

Monte Zucker | Apr 01, 2005

My philosophy in my work: I don't photograph the world as it is; I photograph it as I want it to be. So, yes, I'm an incurable romantic. I confess.

Some of the portraits here were created digitally within the last year or two; some were created in the "olden" days before digital (25-30...

Lou Jones; The World Of Jazz

Rosalind Smith | Apr 01, 2005

Having the good fortune to become involved wholly with an inspiration or an idea is pretty awesome, and as long as I have known Boston photographer Lou Jones he has been "involved."
