Steve in PDN/Audubon

The October issue of PDN Magazine features an article on the award winning photo department of Audubon magazine. And while Steve isn't mentioned by name in either the print or online edition, they are using his image of a polar bear in the Beaufort Sea as the only sample of the award winning photography on the website.

Check out the article here.

Ozarks Highland Trail

Peter Essick's photos of the Ozarks Highland Trail can be seen in the October issue of National Geographic in an article titled "The Intimate Wild." Check out a gallery of the photos on the Geographic's website here.

B&H Ad Campaign

We appreciate when our photographers appear anywhere in the photo trade magazines, but it is especially cool to have the advertisements feature our photos. It means that the companies like our work enough to try and hawk their products with them. Josh Wolfe shot the B&H ad campaign that appears in this month's PDN magazine. We've heard from the ad agency that it is used in the in-store graphics as well but we haven't seen it for ourselves.

An interesting side note, Josh hired a friend from college who works at B&H's used department as one of his assistants for the shoot. Josh shot the campaign on a Nikon D2Xs with a Tamron 28-105mm 2.8 zoom lens. There is a lot of debate over whether third party lens from a company like Tamron and Sigma can ever match the quality of Nikon or Canon lenses. Now whenever anyone asks the answer at the store is "well our own ad campaign was shot on a Tamron lens."

UN Stamps

Thursday, October 23, at 11 am, the "Fall Postage Stamp Mega Event" at Madison Square Garden will premiere the UN global warming stamps featuring photographs by GHG member, Gary Braasch.

Admission is free, but apparently they are going to ask you to fill out a registration card as you enter, so please leave time for that. If you want to save time you may go to http://www.asdaonline.com/index.php?id=52 print and fill out the form and bring it along with you to the show.

The presentation is in the auditorium. After the ceremony and a short show of images from the stamps, Gary is going to sign copies of his books and stamp sets at the UN Postal booth at the expo for about an hour.
