F as in Friday

Colin Adair - Friday, December 07, 2012

You may have seen this video already but if not have a look, it's well worth it. A friend of mine just told me about it and I'm pretty blown away. I've worked on a lot of shoots with professional athletes and their skill level and ability to execute under pressure never ceases to amaze me. This video takes that skill and tests it on another level.

 

 

This is the behind the scenes video of how it was made if you need to solve the mystery.

Photo Auction for Haiti

Colin Adair - Wednesday, May 19, 2010
I just saw a post about this over on A Photo Editor:

Art for Haiti starts today and it looks amazing. From now until June 17 you can bid on amazing photography by some great photographers. Not sure how they missed including me on this. I usually get invited to every "give us your art for free so we can sell it" show. But it's for a good cause so I'm not gonna get my tighty whities in a knot over it.

There are some amazing photos up for grabs and starting bids of 250$ are a bargain. There are photos for all tastes (or lack thereof) but I found one in particular that will interest readers of this blog.

Throw out a bid even if you don't have the $. The people in Haiti have way less than you. At the minimum it will help jack up the price for the next bidder who has $ and make the photographer feel better about themselves.
