Huh?
As 2009 draws to an end, I’m once again going to look back at the year, and see how I did against the want-to-do list that I set for myself for this year, and talk a little about what I plan to do in 2010. Note that I called it a want-to-do list, because I have resigned myself to the fact that there are things that I will just not have time to do. I like to aim pretty high though, and at least succeed in some areas, even if I don’t achieve everything that I’d like to do. As long as I accomplish some of the stuff, or redirect my energies somewhere that I can live with, then I’m happy.
The first thing on my list from 2009 was to plan the 2010 Hokkaido Workshop as soon [...]

On November 28, I visited one of my favourite parks here in Tokyo, Jindai Botanical Gardens, to shoot the beautiful autumn color that they have as a result of some strategically planted Japanese maple or Kaede trees. While I was shooting the below scene, I realized that a small crowd of photographers had gathered behind me, and they were vying for position to shoot the same scene. This is not uncommon, but it got me thinking that I had found a particular spot where everything works, that had not been obvious to others photographing in the same location, so I figured I’d talk about this a little today.
Colour Collaboration
First let’s look at one of the resulting images from this shoot, which is image number 2417. I love this image. It was one of those “hair [...]

Today it gives me great pleasure to announce the winners of the first MBP/WebSpy Photography Assignment accumulated vote winners for the last six month’s assignments. As you know, when our sponsors WebSpy came on board in July 2009, they kindly set by $1,000 for prizes for our assignment, and I arranged some great prizes for the three people with the most votes from your peers in the six assignments from July to November. So today, we not only hear who the November assignment winners are, we find out who takes the amazing prizes that we have lined up.
Also, WebSpy have kindly offered to continue to be our sponsors, and have put up another $1,000 for prizes for the next six months of assignments, so today I will also announce the prizes that will be given to the lucky [...]

WebSpy, sponsors of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast, have once again kindly set aside funds for us to offer prizes for the next six month’s accumulated votes from each of our monthly assignments. The first assignment, for December 2009 is already in progress, so if you haven’t already started shooting for this, the theme is “Quiet Light”. Details can be found in the Photography Forum under the Assignment & Critique section.
For this coming assignment, we are actually going to give away fabulous prizes to the top five, not three, but five participants. We will keep a count of the votes each participant recieves from each month, and the five lucky photographers with the most votes when we complete the June 2010 assignment will win the following prizes.
Note that you don’t have to win every month. You don’t even have to enter every month to [...]

Some time ago I saw a Luminous Landscape Video Journal interview with Lenswork’s Brooks Jensen, in which he showed some work in a card folio, and I immediately fell in love with the look of these folios. I thought it was such a unique and practical way to package smallish prints to be viewed hand held, and even passed around. It took a lot of work and patience to actually get to the point where I have something to sell, and to be honest, there’s not much point in my going into much detail about the process, because the same resources are not going to be available to many of you that don’t live in Japan, but I’ll give you an outline of what I did, and then talk a little about the folios themselves.
If you are at [...]
