I think my California posts are coming to a close. That’s alright…spring is here and I can quit dreamin’ of warm weather.

By popular demand, I’ll continue with the California images. This is a photo of my brother standing on the edge of a cliff at La Jolla Cove looking over the Pacific Ocean.
My brother, who lives in San Diego, is one of the most artistically talented people I know. Whether his is simply doodling, creating concept art for video games, or generating his own style of neo-political cubism (might have just made that up), his work is always incredible.
He resently redesigned his awesome art portfolio website, which is located at http://fminusart.com/
Here are a couple samples of recent work:

As I continue to wallow in tax season woes, here’s another image to help me find a moment of Zen.

Humbled little photographer.
April 6, 2009 – 5:27 pm
Had a wonderful time presenting this weekend at the John Savage Seminar of the Nebraska News Photographers Association. Thanks to all of you who attended my session. Here’s a PDF of my Powerpoint presentation on building a photography business.
I have to say I was incredibly humbled to be in the line-up that included these amazing photographers:
www.joelsartore.com – A Lincoln, Nebraska photographer and friend who has shot several National Geographic cover stories. Joel’s guidance and photography is one of the biggest influences on my own photography.
www.michaelforsberg.com – A Lincoln, Nebraska photographer and friend who specializes in natural history photography of the Great Planes and is probably the world’s foremost sandhills cranes photographer.
www.kennethjarecke.com – An Omaha, Nebraska native and current Montana resident, Ken Jarecke has had a front row seat to more historic moments than his collective audience combined Sunday. It was amazing to see his work.
www.sonyahebert.com – A photographer for the Dallas Morning News, her yearlong multimedia project, “At The Edge Of Life” brought tears my eyes. If you follow no other links from this blog post, at very least watch one of the videos that resulted from her incredible work.
www.travisheying.com – A Wichita, Kansas photographer and friend who has embraced writing and videography over the past couple years. Of all my peers, Travis has adapted and excelled better in the ever-expanding world of photojournalism than any other. It was great to have extra time to hang out.
During my presentation I shared some SEO tips for photographers. Attendees of the breakout class got extra credit if they did a little link-building homework assignment. I know the rest of you don’t want to miss out on extra credit. All you have to do is copy and paste the following to your blog:
I heard I missed an amazingly exciting, hilariously funny, and incredibly informative presentation by Omaha wedding photographer Lane Hickenbottom about how to start a successful photography business.
