Made in America is a music festival that is put on in Philadelphia by Jay Z and Budweiser.  It draws some of the largest acts in the world and brings over 100,000 people to a two day concert.  This was the second year that Stephen and I would be photographing the event and boy do we have some stories for you.  I though it would make for a great RAWtalk topic and it definitely did.  If you listened...

This week I sat down with a long time friend Shawn Corigan who has been traveling the world as a professional photographer/videographer for the better part of ten years.  You will find out how Shawn worked his way into the music scene first as a guitar tech and later on as a photographer and videographer.   Shawn touches on how he became a go to assistant for a few big name photographers. Speaking...

I know it sounds like I went to Canon, well I actually did.  I went to Canon headquarters for a little meeting at their new facility in New York.  I got a call a few weeks back asking if I would like to go up to Canon for a meeting and I figured this would be a good chance to be seen by everyone at Canon.  For the record, they paid for transportation, hotel and a few drinks at dinner.  For the ful...

We are back with a Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That on this weeks RAWtalk Episode #048.  After that last two weeks combining for to be a two hour episode I was attempting to keep this latest one to an hour, I failed.   We jumped right into photo news and hit on seven or eight interesting stories.  You can find details and information about each news story over at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawta...

What started out as a regular RAWtalk episode to discuss music, low light and concert photography turned into an almost two-hour marathon of killer information.  I ended up splitting it into two episodes, with part one airing this week and part two coming next week. As always, I sit down with Stephen to discuss the week's photo news, which brings us some pretty interesting stories.  I asked Stephe...

This week, I hit on a topic about which I had to be very very careful how I chose my words.  There is a fine line between one's opinion and what could be perceived as something else.  I am still choosing my words wisely as I write up this description.   I am talking about a photo contest that is a legitimate photo contest but chooses a lot of winners and asks you to purchase a photo book with your...

Welcome to another week of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.  This week, Stephen and I bring you the photo news from the previews week, including a massive image sensor coming out of China, more goodies from Magic Lantern, a new way to store 360 Terabytes of data and a huge tin-type camera.   Joining me this week at the RAWtalk poker table is professional photographer Dom Savini.

As many of you know, I studied at the  Antonelli Institute of Graphic Design and Photography and when they asked me to come back and speak to the entire photography class, I jumped on that opportunity. They didn't tell me what to say, other than to be myself and say it like it is.   What do you say to a hundred photographers, half of whom will be graduating only days later?  Do you tell them they...

Always a bridesmaid never a bride. Weddings, weddings, weddings, everyone wants to know how to shoot weddings.  Continuing on the themed style show this week, I sat down to talk all things wedding photography.  You guys supplied some fantastic questions that took this episode to a new length, literally.   If you didn't have the itch to shoot weddings before, you might just have it after listening...

On this week's RAWtalk, Stephen and I discuss some of the major news stories from the prior week. SIGMA finally announced pricing for its much anticipated 18-35 F1.8 lens.  A photographer is suing BuzzFeed for $3.9 Million.  Is this the Canon 3D in this blurry photos???  Rumors are flying that Adobe may drop the price of Photoshop and Creative Cloud soon and NASA gives us a first-hand look at what...

I had the opportunity to head up to New York City to interview one of the most famous Rock Photographers ever, Bob Gruen.  Bob captured Rock and Roll in its heyday, living with bands, joining them on the road and sharing in the lifestyle.  He captured one of the most recognizable images in the history of music photography: John Lennon wearing his New York City T-Shirt.   Could you image being aske...

Last week the Chicago Sun Times decided to axe its entire photography staff in favor of freelancers and reporters with iPhones.  We had to cover this discussion in more detail because it was so out there.  You will not believe the quotes that came from the people who made this decision, WOW.   Stephen sits down to bring us the week's Photo News stories, which include a NEW image sensor that is 100...

Thanks to  BorrowLenses.com  I have been playing with the Canon 1D X and a bunch of the pro lenses.  It has long been my goal to play with the top of the line Canon and compare it to my Nikon D4.  This week I start to discuss some differences between the two cameras to start to formulate a comparison review.  All I can say is I am enjoying using the Canon 1D X and all the pro glass that came with...

What a week it was for Flickr, they launch a totally redesigned site, they do away with pro accounts, give you 1TB of photo storage for FREE and their CEO says there is no such thing as Professional Photographers anymore.  We will discuss this and more along with a special interview with Adam Lerner discussing his recent magical trip to Cuba.
