Yesterday I said goodbye to my Hasselblad camera system and also Profoto flash for Nikon system (the only one Hasselblad pretends to use..) at the UPS counter. I am trading in my Hasselblad system for something more robust and flexible, where everything just simply works without qualification or explanation. I grew tired of all of Hasselblad’s unique quirks, the last straw being an incompatibility with my Profoto flash system in something that was supposed to work without qualification the camera. Below is my latest YouTube video detailing my complaints.

Today i submitted a bid for a very modest commercial photography job in Broadview Heights, Ohio. I believe that I made a competitive offer, but without giving away my services. I have my standard rate and that is what I bid, which left room for recovery of travel expenses, after all fuel is so damn expensive. So we’ll see how that shakes out.

Also, in the coming weeks, I will be working with three female models on TFP photoshoots as I look to rebuild and reorient my portfolio. It should be lots of fun, with the hoped-for great images for everyone! I will update you all next week about my new camera system… stay tuned!
