Well, I’m in Chicago for another two days and while I don’t have any photos to share (yet), here’s a video that was made yesterday. Jon & Cristina thought it’d be a fun idea to spoof Phil re: the amount of timelapses that have begun showing up in his videos. Posted below is the results and you can read more about it on their site.

an unexpected end … so… is true?

Well it’s a month before I leave Canada, or Canadia as one sarcastic Brit likes to call it and he’ll actually be in town next weekend. It’s jam packed already trying to see some of the city as well as meet friends & family before I move but we’ve found time to schedule in a meet up-slash-farewell get together on Sunday February 7th. To all my Toronto friends (and friends outside of the city), it’s my last weekend that I’ll actually be in town so if you can make it out, that’d be great as there may not be another chance until I come back to visit.

Photography is a constant learning experience. I have spoken to people who have been doing it for 20+ years and they have said if anyone says they have nothing more to learn then they are lying. I have shot at the same venues countless of times but my recent gig for Timbaland threw me a curve ball with some incredible intense strobe lighting.

I really like the last picture in the collection. And I know what you mean about strobes, I had to adjust my shutter last weekend when we were shooting with a strobe in a dark basement.
January 28, 2010 - 9:34 am
Agreed – manual is the way to go. Thanks very much Ronald. The Red is actually from the lights. Did not manipulate colours too much.
January 28, 2010 - 9:10 am
All manual for me too. I’m a control freak
Nice article and shots. Top photo is my favourite. Nice light and colors! Where did that red light on his teeth come from?
January 28, 2010 - 3:01 am
Great photos and info…
i definitely prefer shooting manual as the metering can be fooled so often that it ruins shots.

This is what my inbox looks like 99% of the time. During the course of a day I can get anywhere between 20-50 emails, which I’m sure many would consider lucky. However, seeing them pile up in the inbox can be overwhelming. Even if they are shown as read I prefer to have them archived and hidden knowing that the conversation is done or I am waiting for a reply. The benefit to my OCD is that it makes for a very organized and structured life, complete with labels, folders, spreadsheets and I figured I’d share some of the steps I take to make this work.

Noooo!!! Growl is the worst. So if I send you an email, iChat message, and tweet your Mac will light up like a Christmas tree???
January 20, 2010 - 12:51 pm
Have to agree with you there, Rob. That’s something I’m still working on. I LOVE having growl notification and sound notifications for my Apple Mail as well as sound notifications for Seesmic which is my Twitter app. Of course, every chime distracts me and I have to check my messages. That might take a bit more time for me to get over…

Hey Sara, I am totally obsessed with rules and filters too. I hate having things in my inbox, every email has its place.
I’ve got another trick for editors, graphic designers, etc. It’s in a totally different vein then your article, but if you’re using Mail.app on the Mac, make sure to turn off the “email notification sound”! My productivity has gone through the roof ever since I did this about two years ago.
People may think it’s not a big deal, but stopping your whole creative process to check email every time you hear that “new email sound”, completely breaks a persons concentration. And if people follow your instructions then they shouldn’t have to check their email often, because their email will always be organized and there waiting for them.
Great article! I don’t think we should be a slave to our inbox, our inbox should be our slave!

This is awesome. I have been trying to figure out this stupid gmail for so long!! THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!
Next – can you please post something on how to organize one’s home? I need help there too : )
January 18, 2010 - 2:15 pm
ok … so i have to dust / re-activate my google-account and i’m “saved” … but wait a minute… syncing is not my problem here … its more like most of the time i get lost … can’t find an email or miss / overlook one … so in the end it’s all about a good “sorting-system” …like yours … at the moment i have client and/or project folder … sometimes it gets bloody … anyway i’m working on that
January 18, 2010 - 2:00 pm
Michael – I currently have 5 email accounts on my Apple Mail. Mobile Me, Gmail and 3 from my google apps account. I fwd two of my google apps mail to my main google apps mail which leaves me (technically) with 3 inboxes in Apple Mail. All working with IMAP and since I have a mobile me account, everything gets synced nicely to my iphone without any problems. I’m not sure about email clients outside of gmail but others might allow forwarding of other accounts to keep them altogether.
January 18, 2010 - 1:11 pm
well done sara … go me thinking about my “sorting”
challenge is: i have an private account, a social network account, iphone account, work account all mostly imap on my company’s server using mail on two mac’s and the iphone of course … so here we go… but you gave me some really nice rudiments to rethink my “system” … thank you for this detailed post! greetings form germany michael
January 18, 2010 - 8:53 am
Nicely done Sara 
as mentioned will show Shereena as soon as I can!
I also will likely have to adopt this
January 18, 2010 - 8:23 am
well done, thanks
January 18, 2010 - 8:17 am
Updated the post – please make sure you enable ‘importing filters’ in your google labs settings.
January 18, 2010 - 8:06 am
this is weird i dont’t have an import/export option
January 17, 2010 - 10:07 pm
glad you enjoyed it. I bring all my mail in through gmail and/or my google apps account. You can import all your mail from another account (hotmail, yahoo etc) and even respond as that same email account all from within gmail. Very powerful.
January 17, 2010 - 10:06 pm
This makes me want to start using Gmail. Thanks for sharing.
