PHOTO.GP FAQ: Keywording Workflow for Pros

UPDATE: This post has been updated over on the PhotoGP website. Frequently Asked Question: How do you keyword so many images on a race weekend?

MotoGP Stories, 2012 at San Francisco Dainese Store

On Thursday, January 24th, I’ll be speaking again at the San Francisco D-Store to share photos and stories from the 2012 MotoGP season. This event was a lot of fun last year, one of the best things for me being the opportunity to meet people I knew only from Twitter and Facebook who were kind […]

MotoGP Stories at the S.F. D-Store

The San Francisco Dainese D-Store welcomed me and Jensen Beeler last week to share some of our thoughts and experiences in MotoGP. For my part of the presentation, I showed some photographs on a projector and told the stories that went along with them.
