Feeedburn me

EDIT: I submitted my shots from the Clinton Rally in San Antonio to digg to try to get some hits.... Feel like digging it for me?

Laugh if you like, but I've decided to pull the trigger and start my own photo agency. I'm calling it PressPhoto International. Check out the website to see the beginnings of Greatness.

Like any internet based photo agency that wants to be successful, we'll be specializing in sports, entertainment, and editorial photography. I have started populating the site with my own work, which is mostly, local AHL hockey action and some music and entertainment photos. I will be adding more stock in the days to come, but right now I'm just trying to keep up with my own schedule.

I have a list of potential contributors across the globe whom I am planning on contacting, and I also have a few who have already expressed interest in working with us.

It's going to be a long, slow, painful climb, but I'm looking forward to the experience.

Thoughts?

Thank you. I generally try to rely on my subjects to generate the impact of my photos instead of outrageous techniques, etc. Maybe that's what you're trying to put your finger on.

I am a documentarian, merely trying to find the right way to tell a story.

I think it's the temple stuff that really gets me actually, now that i think about it. Great work.

I am really liking your photography. Especially the spontaneous old man in the wheelchair and the temple woman. Great stuff, I really like the subtlety of your compositions, nothing extreme or outrageous (perspective wise and such) but really beautiful and i can't quite put my finger on why. It reminds me of really old, great French photography for some odd reason. Like Kertesz and many others.

Thank you. My background is in photojournalism; I am conditioned to expect the spontaneous.

Just took a glance at your gallery. Some very... I don't know, "clean" might be the word i am looking for, and beautifull. I really like some of the things you've managed to capture, they are well composed even though they could only possibley be snapshots.

Nice to find you here.

Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

By far you have the best photography I have ever seen on DeviantArt. Found you while I was doing a search on photos taken with a 24-70 f/2.8L.

Yes. It's a great place to see a variety of talents. You're most definitely good enough. ;)

So what makes it so cool? Is it the consolidation factor?

You should use a photoblog, and post photos on it, then register with VFXY. =-)

I don't post here any longer because of dA's draconian user agreement. If you want to see new work, head on over to [link]

:thanks:

A photoblogging community. When someone registers their photoblog, their profile on VFXY is automatically updated with a thumbnail and link to the image on someone's photoblog. But do you run an image photoblog?
