Professor Elam

I took photos at the COBA Speaker Series the other night, I can only post the guests though one of was particularly photogenic (well Donna and Maria and Cynthia are ALWAYS photogenic but) anyway

I was reading another blog by a professional photographer. He was assigned to cover a seminar featuring numerous VIPs from the company. Most of the comments were about he mechanics of shooting the event, the cameras, the lenses, the ISO factor and such but then he made this comment about the three day affair, understand most of these sites are in vigorous debate about whether a nikon, a canon, an olympus or some such is the best choice, his comment on best gear below, 'nuff said. This can also apply every day right here at school, you never know who you will run into . Admittedly I am not clothes horse but at least presentable. You never know who you will run into…

Most important gear? According to the client, who expected that the images would be good, the three nice suits were the standout accessory. She mentioned that in the early days of these conferences they often wound up with photographers who showed up dress in battered khakies and a "ratty fishing vest". According to her they stood out like a pig at a horse race.
