Interview with Sol Neelman

There is a good read over at Resolve, the Livebooks blog right now, important thoughts about life as a freelance photographer.

“I think one mistake a lot of newspaper photographers make is that they’re still trying to work for editorial clients. It’s very rewarding, but when The New York Times is paying $200 day rates, you can’t make a living off that. So I think the more important avenues are commercial, advertising and corporate clients.

Matt Slaby’s Outtakes

Matt Slaby is a Denver based freelance photographer. If you don’t read his blog, you should. The depth of thought in his writing nearly matches that of his photography.

“Our lives are mostly outtakes.  Quiet moments, meaningless moments, the things you notice but forget to write down, the things you write down but can’t figure out why you did, the way your feet sound in an empty hall, the empty table littered with bottles and food scraps after the art opening, an artist’s space that has showings whenever they want to and not just on the first friday.”

Also his work was featured on the NPR’s The Picture Show earlier this week.

Bienvenidos!

Welcome to the new blog home of Steven St. John photography. I’m still working out a few things on the site, so if you see something askew (other than the point-of-view of the photographer) please let me know. All the old post are here, but we have a new name and I plan to post much more work I find inspirational as well as other photographic news, so bookmark this site now.

If are a photographer and would like to exchange links, I’m working on building up the Blogroll as much as possible. Just e-mail me @ sstjohnphoto@gmail.com and I will set you up.

Oh, and I should give a shout to my man Ezra at Electrophonic Design who built this blog and all of my other web pages. If you need a great website custom built, Ezra is the person to call.

Introducing Steven St. John Wedding Photography

ALBUQUERQUE – As a freelance photographer, I have documented many of my friends weddings. Weddings are a lot of fun, and a lot of hard work too. Well, I’m pleased to announce that I finally have added a division of my website dedicated to just weddings. Please stop by my documentary wedding site by clicking on the link and let me know what you think.

While I’m at it, I want to plug my website designer, Electrophonic Design, who have done a wonderful job with all my website design needs. I could not be happier with their work.

Here is the main gallery of photos from the new site.
