I used to shop at Calumet Photographic when I lived in NY but now I just receive their mailing list every week. What I like about their mailing list is that they have great product information and features like the Photographers Spotlight and Photo of the Week
Photo of the Week started in October of 2006, but I didn’t catch on until Jan of 2007 when I sent in my first image and it got selected! Since then I have submitted 8 images all together, 3 making the cut. However I just stumbled up on my submission from last year…and not only did the image get chosen as the Photo of the Week, but was also feature on their blog a few weeks later…
and I didn’t even know it!
What I didn’t realize is that they have a UK site, and for some reason this last image ended up there….So now it’s 4 out of 8…not bad!
Didn’t even know it!

Pulling faces 2
This time around it was Mark Pennington who pulled faces for me. A former professional soccer player from England, now coaching soccer in the lower mainland, pulling these faces probably wasn’t that much of a stretch. On top of coaching Mark does some acting and modeling with Marcia Simpson’s Vancouver Lifestyles Modeling Agency which has a roster of great people. Many thanks to you both.
Pulling faces
Personalities are fast becoming one of my favourite shoots, especially when the subject is comfortable in his/her own skin, ready to be silly and just have a good time. Bob Mercer, former Editor/Owner of VLM Magazine, was no exception, in fact he is my favourite subject to date. Here’s a look at 3 contact sheets from that session.
