John Bell, who’s a listener to the show recently sent me a link to a cool video he made. It’s all about the mechanics of dealing with an ariel photo shoot and the things you might encounter. besides all that John’s cool accent is fun to listen too. It’s great that we have PPS listeners all over the world. If it doesn’t load below here’s the direct link.

This image was taken by Scott Bourne, a renown bird photographer. You may remember him from Pro Photo Show Podcast #46. Cranes In the Fire mist was taken at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico, and needed perfect conditions. Scott had it in his mind for 12 years before he nailed it.
I wanted to post this not only because it’s an inspiring shot, but also because Scott wrote telling the story behind it. If you have photographer blood you’ll feel the excitment when you read him telling about it. Check out the article. It’s full of inspiration, and when finished you’ll probably want to pick up camera and head to Mexico. Only to have me remind that there’s a masterpiece of some kind waiting right out your back door.

Updated 08/2012. by Gavin Seim: People are often looking for a starting point to build their photography contracts. Sometimes photographers take the I’m not sharing stance. I however do not and rather than manually emailing them each time people ask, I decided to share them here. I’ve included a folder with both PDF and DOC formats. You can start here, insert your own name and alter the text to suit your needs.
Disclaimer. I am NOT a lawyer: These are contracts I have used and I am making available free of charge. They are in no way guaranteed. I’ve written them in plain English, while still trying to cover my bases. I have not had them reviewed by a lawyer, so if you feel the need to have them checked, you’ll have to handle that on your own. OK disclaimer finished.
On a side note, if you are a lawyer and would like to help review the legal side of these contracts so we can post more official versions please contact me. Also if you have links to your own contracts (available for free) post them up so people can look at more ideas.
Enjoy… Gav
UPDATE 08.2012. Version 1.5.
