Creative: Los Alamos 30-Minute Book

I wasn’t joking about this 30-Minute Book thing. I’ve been doing this since I had software to do it. I see layouts while I’m working, in the field, that is. I said this before, but I’m not sure this is ... The post Creative: Los Alamos 30-Minute Book appeared first on Shifter .

Creative: Patagonia Book, Treatment Two

Ya, okay. I get it. What a difference. What a change. Have you abandoned your photographic roots? Nope, but the power of the notebook, the power of design, and the power of all things new have Uncle Danno doing spinning ...

Creative: Destination Print, Post One

Author’s Note: This is the first post in a ten-post series I was asked to write for Blurb. We ended up not using these posts, but I believe they are entirely valid and might be helpful to some of you. ... The post Creative: Destination Print, Post One appeared first on Shifter .

Creative: I Did Not Camp in a Blizzard

For the life of me, I can’t figure you out. I don’t understand the fascination with watching people camp in blizzards. I know 99% of you will never do it, yet you’ll still spend an hour watching someone else try. ... The post Creative: I Did Not Camp in a Blizzard appeared first on Shifter .

There are major differences between a portfolio and a book. A portfolio is a snapshot of your best work, and often shortish in nature. Say twenty to twenty-five pictures. A book, meanwhile, has narrative. A book may not showcase your ... The post Creative: Simple Pictures appeared first on Shifter .

Creative: The Interview, David Schuster

Technically, David Schuster and his wife, Micki, were our students. That means Elena and me, but to call them our students feels a bit ridiculous. Watch this film, and you will know why, but TECHNICALLY it’s true, so we will ... The post Creative: The Interview, David Schuster appeared first on Shifter .

Creative: Blurb 35% Off

Okay, jackals. No time like the present. Not sure about you, but I have multiple books in production at all times. This could mean something “serious,” or something not-so-serious. I just reordered a 240-page Blurb Magazine, one I created almost ... The post Creative: Blurb 35% Off appeared first on Shifter .

Creative: Evelyn’s Notebook

I am SO jealous. When I met the Chilean dynamo Evelyn, the better half of the upcoming Patagonia Workshops, I didn’t know she kept notebooks. Nope, had no idea. I was doing what I do, which is talk shit about ... The post Creative: Evelyn’s Notebook appeared first on Shifter .

Creative: We Got Off Easy

Yes, this post is about a book, but it’s coming under the “Creative” title for a reason. I don’t remember mentioning a book halfway through the reading of it, but I’m doing so now, and I’m doing it for good ... The post Creative: We Got Off Easy appeared first on Shifter .
