Raleigh editorial photography

Raleigh editorial photography I will have to say this was one of the hardest assignments I've ever shot. An article about a class on closing the generation for NCSU Alumni Magazine The problem was how to show the students but not show the faces of the adults who were in different facilities. They did a great job with the layout.

Raleigh editorial photography Made it out for a practice at Wake County Speedway I'm not sure how I'm going to cover the racing this year. I think I only went to one race last year. I think I'm going to try and follow a couple drivers shoot some still images and some video and see if there's a story in it. I know there is but I'm only one person and trying to do it all is tough.

Extensis Portfolio

If you value your digital assetts a word of warning. Beware of Extensis Portfolio  owned by Celartem, Inc . president Syuichi Fujimoto . Here’s a little story for you...... Back in the days when digital photography was just getting started you had to figure out a way to organize and catalog your images (DAM) Digital Assett Management. They're where a ton of programs out there Iview Media,Cumulus, IDimager Photo Supreme and Daminion.  Extensis Portfolio  for
me stood out to be the best. I started out with Extensis Portfolio 7  in 2004, then 8 then 8.5 in 2007. Then BAM in 2014 Extensis stopped all support and upgrades to the program. It won’t run on a Mac running anything newer then OSX 10.9.4. I have an old Mac Pro  that I haven’t upgraded just to keep my catalog so I can search my images. I just checked it’s 43.5 terabytes of images. They’ve even stopped taking technical support calls about Extensis Portfolio  8.5. I’ve called in the past and was told they were not authorized to talk about the old single user products, so if you have a question you’re screwed. They’ll be happy to transfer you to sales  where they will try and sell a “new” server version to you for between $1,200-$2,500, I’ve had a couple different quotes. You’d think they’d give old software licenses holder a discount, but they don’t. If you value your digital assetts, photography, video, music, etc. beware of Extensis Portfolio . Who knows how long they’ll support their current software or even be around. Now, get off my lawn.
