Why 'Amateur' Is Not A Dirty Word - Hampton Roads Photography

This week an image macro exploded across the internet among the photo community. The image and it's story can be found on the original photographer's Blog. I just wanted to get out my sentiment that "amateur" is not a dirty word. Bryan Brough and I sat down yesterday to talk about it.

How can a business help their clients give back? 

Retail Roundtable

This morning I attended a Retail Alliance Retail Roundtable about how local businesses like A. Dodson's and Farm Fresh help with their clients to help local charities. It's a very simple program where they ask patron's at the time of checkout if they want to "Round Up" and give the difference to charity. 

Another great organization, Indedpendent We Stand, was there also to discuss how they create awareness to urge consumers to support independent businesses in their area.

Hampton Roads Videography for Start Norfolk

I had the opportunity to check out the new Start Norfolk 2.0 t-shirts come hot off the press this week. I made a quick behind the scenes video at Close Clothing, a local Hampton Roads screen print and design company. I never realized how much work goes into screen printing t-shirts until I watched the whole process from begining to end.

Hampton Roads Travel Photography

I just got back this week from a trip to NYC. I went there to recharge, get reinspired, and really appreciate how awesome Hampton Roads can be. 

Here's a video I put together of some of the things I saw while I was there.
