Hail Of A Day

I came across a great site called Strobist. This would only be slightly interesting to you if you are into photography. Granted it sounds kind of like a study in drywall if you’re not. For all of the knowledge that’s out on the web and all of the photographers there are out there, there is a remarkable lack of good instructional content.

Kevin’s Theory:
Photographers are “starving artists”. They make barely enough money to survive, so the really good ones are probably not working day jobs outside of photography and thus are not bankrolling it. Consequently, they are always hustling for ways to make money. Paying $29.95 for a crappy video about lighting is acceptable to all of us photographer wannabes because we can’t find the cool instructional websites out there like you might in other industries. The “freemium” model of giving away software in hopes of relationship building hasn’t caught up with this group, yet.

Full circle…I really appreciate smart guys and gals doing free blogs about their interests, just because they love sharing knowledge.
