The Shimoda Explore Camera Bag Is Comfy As F
11/20/2017
Borne out of the “pain, fatigue, and suffering” endured by adventurers out there scaling mountains, crossing deserts, or scaling ravines, the Shimoda Explore camera bag has officially hit the market. Launched on Kickstarter this Monday, and already surpassing its goal by $10k, the Shimoda Explore does away with the unnecessary, whilst adding the unexpectedly convenient. The team, led by Ian Millar formerly of F-Stop Gear, have really nailed it on this one.
Weight For starters, it’s light: the 40L comes in at 2.9 lbs, the 60L version 3.3. We’ve got one here in the office and each time I pick it up I feel oddly discombobulated by the difference between its expected weight vs. actual. Besides a fun parlor trick, this is huge for adventurers, allowing them to conserve energy for carrying what really matters.
Speaking to execs at Shimoda, they said that going into the project they were irked by camera bags that weighed a ton, due to padding, before you even filled them with gear. By relying on higher-density, more expensive foam, as well as carefully placed points of stress, Shimoda was able to drastically reduce the amount of padding used, all the while making a bag that feels as snug as a bug in a rug. Accessibility Perhaps the most well thought out part of the Explore (which is saying a lot because each feature seems to be the result of years’ worth of careful tinkering) is the design of the various pockets. Whether it’s the side access, allowing you to rapidly slide in-and-out your camera of choice, the back access, which opens easily between the internal aluminum frame which distributes your gear and its weight efficiently, or the top access which allows you to place items outside of the tangle to be found within, every pocket is built with an occasion in mind, meaning that for every scenario the adventurer could find herself in, there’s a pocket for that. And this isn’t even to mention the pockets on the straps (one uses zippers, the other uses elastic) for easy access to snacks, phones, hydration and the like. Once again, the Explorer helps “save energy for when you really need it.” Modularity “Camera inserts,” Team Shimoda is quick to admit, are “an amazing…development.” With that in mind, they go on to detail how they’ve revamped and reconfigured the very idea of what a camera insert can be. Specifically, they scrap the one-size-fits-all model that used to reign, replacing it with a system that allows ten different configurations. Or, if your hardware gear is light, you can leave most of the pieces behind, only keeping what inserts you need.
Finally, it comes with a removable Skin, allowing the inserts to alternatively be used as: a dust-free storage case for when your camera is out of use, a packing cell for items other than gear, or, best of all, a “convenient, lightweight, shoulder bag for a “quick hike out of basecamp.” It looks pretty stylish when doing so, too. If you’re interested, pledges range from $5 to $839, with goods varying accordingly. Product is due to be shipped by February 2018 and founders personally pledge to be “communicating with you throughout the process to keep you informed.” Hurry though, some of the best offerings have already sold out!

A Vimeo Staff Picked video—Joey Greene’s horror short “Polaroid”, which was released on Halloween, features a young man who has just moved into an apartment when he finds a polaroid camera amongst his stuff and begins to snap pictures of his new place. He soon finds that there is more lurking in the shadows of his apartment than meets the eye. Greene, who serves as the writer, producer, director, and editor, gives a single line in the description about his work: “It’s the things we can’t see that terrify us the most…”
The short is only 3 minutes in length, with a small cast of two people and a crew consisting of just four people. The film was shot with a RED Scarlet W camera, using Canon Cinema Primes lenses. For such a small team, this short feature is incredibly well-made, and it’s eery message is sure to keep you up at night.

11/20/2017
I’m really proud of something. Can I just be real? Will it sound like I’m bragging? I’m really good at COLLABORATION. If you’d ask my mother, she’d say it had to do with me being born a twin, but I think it has more to do with finding great people who share similar values and aspirations. (Hey, mom, please don’t roll your eyes!) In fact, I’ve seen my business grow the most and the fastest as a result of collaborating, so I’m a huge fan of creating win-wins for everyone involved. But the truth of the matter is that mutually beneficial endeavors can be hard to define, but here are three ways I’ve made it happen consistently over the years…
This video shows a recent collaboration with a fellow boss babe and gives a behind-the-scenes look at a Social Curator photo shoot… I wish you all the best as you create a collaboration of your own!
via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2zTx2vE Turns out there is one absolutely full-proof method of ensuring that those racy images you sent to your ex aren’t circulated through the web in an act of revenge: sending them to Facebook. Courtesy Twitter Yup, if you want stay “decent” as far as your web profile goes, you’re just going to have to sext Mr. Zuckerberg and his team of engineers–no way around it. And trust me, as someone who has been practicing this behavior for months, albeit for different reasons, sending hi-res pics of your junk into Mark’s inbox simply isn’t a big deal. You can even do it over a cup of coffee! In all seriousness, Facebook is launching a trial in Australia allowing individuals who fear they may be future victims of revenge porn to send those very images they anticipate being used against them to Facebook, in order that they may then be blocked from any future upload.
The tech being employed for the task–PhotoDNA “hashing”–is already at work preventing child pornography from being placed on the web. It works by taking any image, converting it into black and white, gridding it, and then calculating intensity gradients for each sections. By doing so, it is able to create a “hash” for an image which can not be eluded by its being resized or altered in any minor way. Ooooh, risque! In practice, a user will message themselves the image–after alerting Facebook through a special form of their concerns–and an engineer will then take that image and “hash” it, i.e. turning it into specific line of code. Should any future user attempt to upload an image with the same “hash” on Instagram or Facebook, it will be immediately blocked. As per Facebook, their own handling of the image will be brief, holding them for a short period of time before deletion, simply to ensure the “hashing” process has worked correctly. Dude, put that thing away–or at least “hash” it. Unsurprisingly, pundits have weighed in on the issue of Facebook asking for your dirty laundry, with Van Badham of The Guardian writing: “I’m surprised the recommendation doesn’t include CC’ing in both the Vatican and the government of China, just in case there might be anyone left on earth who didn’t have pictorial access to something you find profoundly humiliating.” The Brits: polite even while refusing the most naughty of deeds. Screenshot: The Guardian Others have also expressed squeamishness at the idea, wondering aloud why Facebook–unlike Google Clips–doesn’t allow at-home “hashing,” instead asking users to submit via the internet. Facebook’s own security chief Alex Stamos, meanwhile, had this to say on his Twitter: though they do currently still “need to have humans review the images,” the tool is not “asking random people to submit their nude photos,” but a “test to provide *some* option to victims to take back control.” This test, furthermore “will help us figure out how to best protect people on our products and elsewhere.” Courtesy Twitter Facebook also recommends not becoming intimate with creeps–their own engineers notwithstanding.

11/16/2017
I make no qualms about how I was raised or where I come from. I was spanked hard with a belt, but hugged afterward even harder. I knew love in a myriad of forms. We shopped at thrift stores and, later, my mom sewed holes shut and dyed our pants so they appeared new. My dad was a cook at a local college and I’d go to help clean the kitchen with him, often times wrapping up discarded food to take home for family dinner. Life wasn’t hard, it was just all I knew. I thought it was normal to have groceries randomly left on our porch, normal to apply for collegiate financial aid and discover the United States government has special grants and scholarships for students of especially low socio-economic status. When I moved into my college dorm room, my parents cried and just before they departed, my dad reminded me that he did everything he could to ensure I started a new life. “I took the worst jobs,” he said, “so you could create your dream job.” There are those who helped me succeed–my parents, benevolent strangers leaving food, the good tax-paying people of America–and I’m truly indebted to such sacrifice. I’m humbled and hellbent on paying it forward, so to those who help me succeed, THANK YOU. via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2jvzcLm So you’ve got followers, but no clients: time to turn those hashtags into cash bags. Here are a few field-tested, tried-and-true methods for transforming your fleet of fans into a steady stream of paid gigs. Be aware, however, your product must be quality for these tricks to work; Resource can’t polish your turd for you.
Unsplash/Quino Al
Surprisingly, a lot of Instagrammers fail to clearly provide a way to contact them. In a dense marketplace, it’s important to cut down the time between being noticed and being contacted–giving potential clients no time to rethink their choice. Having your email hidden amongst the underbrush of the web is no way to do this. You’ve already hooked a potential client, now reel it in, don’t make them go hunting for you. Unsplash/Clem Onojeghuo
Even more effective than supplying a way to contact oneself is urging visitors to contact you. In that vein, many successful accounts will have phrases like “If you like my photos, click this link to….” or, “If you like my photos, see the rest at…” This way, when someone discovers your Instagram and likes what they see, they’ll be told clearly and simply what to do next, rather than having to guess for themselves. Unsplash/Eunice Lituanas
Interaction can turn potential clients into definite clients. After all, you’re much more likely to do business with someone you feel you’ve gotten to know (questions of online “authenticity” notwithstanding). So, add questions to your captions like: “Look at this great landscape I took, guess where it is,” or, “Took this portrait last week, who does it remind you of?” etc. People LOVE answering questions and giving you their two-cents, just be sure to respond back. They’ll be unwittingly taking one step closer to hiring you. Unsplash/Glenn Carstens-Peters
A lot of users employ “likes” to gain a following: by “liking” other people’s images, it is assumed, others will notice them and “like” or follow back. However, many times a genuine comment on a post can be much more effective than liking ten or fifteen photos. As one user puts it, “otherwise it feels spammy.” So instead of attempting to spread as much stuff out there as possible, focus on making a couple meaningful comments: this is much more likely to drive engagement and genuine follows in return. Unsplash/Flaunter.com
As I mentioned before, people are more likely to engage in business with people they feel they “know” (hence the saying: “it’s about who you know”). Though it would be very difficult to engage with every person that follows you in a meaningful way, you can provide the same sort of feeling by letting them in on the machinations that go into your work. Some ways to do this: show them your office, show them your recreational activities, or show them how some of your most popular images came to fruition. By gaining a sneak peak, people are more likely to feel they know, and thus can trust, the person behind the work that is being displayed. Unsplash/Ben White
Everyone wants to get paid for their work. A little generosity, however, can go a long way. Give your followers something for free, whether this be advice, inspiration, or sharing something funny. Get them hooked on the free goodies and then, when they want more, they’ll come to you, their supplier. Unsplash/Estee Janssens
Not everyone is going to need what you have to offer RIGHT NOW. Keeping that in mind, it’s important to remain relevant so that when those moments of need do come up, your name is the first one they think of. To do so, keep your posting consistent. Whether this means two photos a day, or six photos every Wednesday, or even a photo every day besides the weekends, just make sure to keep the schedule tight. That way, when your assigned day or time comes round, they’ll be thinking of you, keeping you in the picture for that fateful day when they’re able to pay.
Best of luck.

11/13/2017
Photographic portraiture, a phenomenon that’s been buzzing since the dawn of cameras and still a booming business, today. One thing is certain about this art: as long as there’s cameras and faces to capture, it will always be in style. The beauty behind it, is undoubtedly always the subject, their eyes gazing at the camera, and the essence of their character spilling onto an image. It helps to be familiar with some of the masterminds behind portrait photography, and you can thank us later for providing a list of some of the best to focus on today. Lee Jeffries – A proclaimed genius in capturing the realness behind any street dweller. His heavy handed editing techniques bring out his own personal flare to every picture. Darkening shadows and emphasizing light makes his subject pop, and their emotions visible. He makes every wrinkle on a person’s face tell a story, rather than de-beautify them. His portfolio includes a wide majority of homeless people, and with their struggle showcased, he also helps raise money to support them, through entering their images in competitions. His Instagram is insanely beautiful and filled with images that will make your jaw drop. To no surprise, Jeffries’ work won the Amateur Photographer magazine award contest, not one time but three. His work is raw and one of a kind, and it doesn’t get much better than this. Joe McNally – First glance at McNally’s work leaves you with a taste for more. He does a spectacular job at photographing people in their natural element. If he is going to shoot a fire-fighter, best believe he wants the subject in full gear with a look that reads “i’m here to save you”. These hobbies, passions, and workflows incorporated in his photos, definitely separates him from other portrait photographers. Check out his Instagram to stalk all of McNally’s juicy photographs. Chase Jarvis – Yup, we’re mentioning Jarvis again in a post of ours, frankly because he is a well-rounded individual with so much knowledge to drop on any creator. His portraits are clear, and his aesthetic is appealing to any onlooker. Not to mention, some of his subjects, are people you may just know from world of fame. Each portrait has a sense of serenity and intimacy with the camera, along with a little ‘Jarvis jazz’, to help people identify his signature style. Michael Muller – You could call Muller one of the best celebrity portrait photographers today, and almost all will agree. There is not an A-list celebrity he hasn’t shot, and he’s been in the game for quite some time now. From Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., Will Smith, Megan Fox, Ethan Hawk, to Ben Stiller, he’s done it all. Enough said, this guy is a freaking genius portrait photographer, so make sure to follow his every move on, Instagram. Joey Lawrence – If i were to describe Lawrence’s portrait photography with one word, it would be ‘powerful’. He has a way with producing both heavy-hearted and light-hearted content, and we can appreciate the polar opposites of each. He will shoot a Danny Devito in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” portrait one day, then a resident face of a war-zone the next, making his portrait portfolio quite unique and diverse. For more of his breathtaking work, be sure to follow him on Instagram. Zack Arias – Arias most certainly has a thing for photographing what some would say is dark and moody. His portraits are beautiful, because it’s not always a smile that makes a portrait, but sometimes a frown, to express truth. Plenty of his portraits are racy and definitely controversial, with hidden messages that are sure to tip your curiosity. His Instagram is worth a follow, and many likes. Erik Almas – There is something so whimsical about Almas’ photos, considering some truly resemble a dream world we’d all like to escape to. His portraits are soft, yet dramatic, detailed, yet simple. It’s clear that Almas takes the time to get to know his subject before assembling the story he wants to portray behind them. We appreciate his time and effort, and if you follow him on his Instagram, you will to. Jeremy Cowart – In 2014, Cowart was titled “Most Influential Photographer on the Internet” by Huffington Post, Forbes and Yahoo. He’s got plenty of crispy glazed portraits under his belt, and his devotion to all around good photography is inspiring. Currently, he’s been really experimental with the use of light, color, and other photography techniques. These mods have really transformed his content, just let his Instagram, explain it for itself. Steve McCurry – We’ve all seen the National Geographic photo of the beautiful “Afghan Girl” with striking emerald eyes. If you haven’t, you need to check yourself and explore more of McCurry’s famous portrait photography. Almost all of his images leads you first to the subject’s eyes that speak to you, and where you may just stay in awe of for hours. Bless yourself with some more eye-gazing portraits on McCurry’s Instagram. Joel Santos – Santos sure captures some robust images and without any need to direct his subject’s expression. He is an expert at finding the right moment of sincerity and because of it, his photos are natural and only require human and soul to strike gold. Follow his Instagram in order to really understand what his portraits offer. David Lazar – A young nomad photographer, with a great eye for capturing the perfect portrait in any part of the world. Lazar’s images are colorful and full of life, just have a look at the magic yourself on his, Instagram. Eric Lafforgue – Not only does Lafforgue shoot raw and astonishing portraits, but he also shares a narrative behind a majority of the faces on his website. This gesture, shows his appreciation and respect for each of his subjects. They supply him with art, and in return he puts love and time into presenting their story. Scroll through his Instagram, to see more of his masterpieces. Jimmy Nelson – Nelson has been producing some breathtaking images, since 87′, and we are happy to have him in the scene. After years of experience in photography, it’s to no surprise that his images are seamless and almost close to perfect. He takes us to the exact moment of where and when the photo was taken, almost as though we are experiencing a meet and greet with his subjects. In many ways, this is what photography is supposed to provide and Nelson’s Instagram will leave you in complete awe.
Manny Librodo – Librodo makes it a point to really dramatize his portraits, through captivating angles and soft light. He is certainly taking this area of photography to the next level, and we know you’ll agree. Librodo’s Instagram, shed’s light on new age portrait photography, so give don’t hesitate to give him a follow.
Rehahn– Behind each of Rehahn’s portraits embodies what it means to capture the perfect candid. What he shoots, is what you see, with or without an image to prove so, and his subject’s smiles are always genuine and contagious. Check his Instagram out for more natural human expression. Lisa Kristine – A lady who knows what she’s doing when it comes to portrait photography. She is a total beast at capturing sacred and intimate moments, and we give her the portrait stamp of approval. Kristine is even able to surface her subjects emotions by just photographing the back of their heads, which isn’t an easy task. If you don’t believe it, just check out her Instagram to see the numinous moments she captures. Let’s hope after this list you will be more familiar with all the killer portrait photographers out there. Their work is sure to inspire you and give you all the knowledge to start photographing some beautiful and unique faces. via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2zGna63 How to Create a Productive Work Schedule

I try to be as loving as possible (well, because, my yoga instructor believes that loving yourself keeps you ageless and I’m all, like, let’s avoid Botox and namaste the wrinkles away!), but it isn’t always that easy. It’s mostly because there are times when I wish I didn’t allow myself to stay STUCK for as long as I was. A big turning point in my life and business was the opportunity to organize my work schedule. I wanted a productive work schedule, something that helped me get a lot of things done and maximize the hours in my day.
