How Jay Maisel Makes $45,000 A Day

by

Ok, let me at the outset tell you that I am a Jay Maisel fan. A huge fan, but a poor one of this American master of photography. I don't have a $5000 to attend his unique workshop, but I would go if could find that kind of cash in pennies even, tucked away in the far reaches of my couch. He is worth every red cent. As far as how he makes $45k in a day, well he will only accept 9 participants to his workshop. Do the math.

“It will take place Mon. Dec. 17 to Fri. Dec. 21, from 9am to 10pm each day. All meals are included.” Be sure to mention Tiffinbox if sign up. [Link thanks to Adobe's John Nack]

The Rule Of Nerds

by

Here, I have mentioned Aaron Johnson's What The Duck comic strip before. It pokes fun at photographers, clients and everything and everyone in between. It's good for a good laugh and as a comic strip nut, I have to buy his new book, The Rule Of Nerds (a take on rule of thirds, for the uninitiated) before the year is out. It covers his first year's comic strips. Check it out and buy yourself a copy. This Thanksgiving, give yourself a chuckle or two. You can thank me later.

Flying With Fish Around The World (In 11 Days)

by

This is a photography workshop for the well-heeled, Marine-at-heart types. Steven Frischling, an editorial and wedding photographer is playing host to 8 lucky people to travel the world with him (and yes, he goes by the name “Fish”) and experience the kinds of things he does when has to shoot assignments around the world. Very cool. Very interesting. And, no, while my itchy feet may start burning, I ain't going no where. Tempting, though.
