In an effort to try and produce more quantity and variety on the website I’ve been doing some recruiting for new writers.
The first is Alan Hutchison. He’s an award-winning photographer based in Scotland who has been taking photographs since he was 6 years old and even had his own darkroom at the tender age of 11. You can learn more about him on the about PPS page.
You can find Alan’s work at www.alanhutchison.co.uk or hook up with me on Facebook. Stay tune for more great content and more variety from our new writers. Welcome to the PPS team Alan.

This weeks cool product is the Itoya Art Profolio series. I really like these for presenting and storing prints. They solve the problem of displaying images in an easy and portable fashion. Having images in print simply makes a better impression than looking on a screen.
Profolio’s come in various styles, but the bottom line is that their a reasonably priced simple way to present your work. Coming in a broad range of sizes such as 5×7, 8×10, 11×14, and even 13×19 (which is the odd print size that comes out of my Canon Pro 9000 Printer).
Standard Art Profilio: This has a simple hard plastic cover with plastic sleeves inside. It’s not the most finished and while I would not sell it as a client album, but it’s simple and clean looking for a REALLY low price. This is basic presentation that’s inexpensive enough to double as print storage.
It’s no secret that photographers are sometimes treated as criminals for doing nothing more than taking pictures. This video will make you laugh, as well as make photographer criminalization look pretty stupid.
It’s about Duane Kerzik, who was arrested for taking pictures at Penn station. For their photo contest no less. I’m glad I’m not on the PR team for Amtrak, because it looks like their on a one way rail to stupidity. I could say more, but instead, just watch the video.
Update: Sorry to our non US readers. I realized that this Hulu video is not available outside the US. Hopefully it will show up on other sites soon… Gav
