Selling images to the Instagram generation.

Inspiration, Q&A, Teaching point

Each month I submit photos to De Mello Palheta Coffee Roasters for their social media use.

They compensate me for my work, and they are then free to use the images as they wish.

Lately, the new De Mello curator has been libearally applying Instagram filter effects to said images.

Case in point…

My original image (“The Dark Arts“):

And the IG-filtered version:

My take on all this?

Just guess, LOL.

Setting the record straight (there will be no new M-mount CCD camera).

Q&A

Not too long ago, I signed a non-disclosure agreement for a camera that was in development.

After a promising start, and several (but slow) updates, communication with the party who contacted me ceased.

I’m still not sure whether the camera was ever really in development, or whether it was just a hoax intended to embarrass me (I could have been easily blinded by its specifications, which were really exciting to me).

Suffice it to say, I no longer have hope that this camera will be made.

And although I haven’t been asked about it in a while, I wanted to at least set the record straight.

Lastly, to that individual who works as a cancer researcher in Toronto who sent me that nasty message last year (regarding my involvement with this camera), I am horrified to think that you have anything to do with health care.

—Peter.
