One of the best design evangelists is Tom Peters. His books have been a huge inspiration behind Black Diamond Digital Imaging. I recently re-discovered Mr. Peters’ website, and his blog, in particular.
Check out this excellent recent blog post from Tom Peters.
Beanie Bash 2008 Portraits Are Here
Hi Everyone, we have uploaded the shots from last Friday’s Beanie Bash 2008.
The shots turned out great. Thanks again to everyone that showed up.
Fans bid farewell to Polaroid film
CNN reports that December marks the last month of production for Polaroid Instant film. They are saying it is due to the popularity of Digital Cameras. I can see that, but imagine how many great photos are going to be lost because people don’t print out their digital photos.
Otis Burns still takes the same camera on his road trips today. At every motel where he spends the night, he takes a photo of the view from the room — whether it’s a pastoral landscape, a brick wall or the parking lot. And on the back of each photo he writes the details of the setting: the room number, the town and the date.
“Sometimes magic seems to happen and a deceptively simple picture outside a Motel 6 can say a thousand words,” Sean Burns said of his father’s collection. “Polaroid photos take [only] a minute to develop, but sometimes art takes decades.”
Come to our parties, you’ll be glad you did.
I got a great thank you email this weekend about our monthly parties at the studio. If you haven’t experienced one yet, please feel welcome to. We send out email invitations, blog posts, twitter feeds, myspace posts - if you don’t know about our parties, you’ve been on vacation in a far away land, my friend.
“Again, thanks for letting us crash your party. The networking that
goes on is awesome. So many different industries clashing together.
It’s awesome.” John Hawkins.
John was also very kind in his review our party on his blog. Check it out here.
John is a great family man, a passionate photographer, a über-programmer, and the organizer of WordCamp (more info coming soon) and organizer of the Las Vegas Twitter Meetup Group, which is a strong and growing diverse group of businesspeople who partake heavily in the activity formerly known as “networking” - but without the cover charge. 
- I for one, am stoked about meeting John and the potential ahead for our groups.
Thanks, hombre. Salud!
