btw, that was meant to be totally tongue-in-cheek

Scott – Is Lightroom the only way to upload pics from the photowalk? RCs video makes it seem that way. Last year it was all through Flickr. Why the change? Some of us may not want to download Lightroom…

cough, cough. knock me over with a feather! the “pre-production” conceptualization came up when I was removing cigarette butts from in front of the Cadillac. you actually offered me credit, but you were the one who named it so it deservingly belongs to you. I bring this up since I was the, uh, butt of many criticisms for getting in people’s wide angle shots of the Caddy — not too sound too caddy, of course!

Scott, I am looking forward to receiving my leader’s t-shirt for the Photo Walk, but I have a question: Why isn’t it black? You and Matt always sport a black shirt on D-Town and I like the look. It would be great if you could offer this color for those of us who want to be more like you!

You can call your book, “Get Down, and Get Dirty.” How many times do I have to relearn the lesson of pre photoshop techniques? The first sentance should be, I will fix it NOW.

Hi Scott,

I’ve used the term “pre-touch” many times with clients. The first time was back in PS 2.0 days when a client said I shouldn’t bother picking up the styrofoam cups littering the parking lot (it was an architectural shoot) because they could just be retouched later. I asked how much his retouching bill might be and suggested for only an extra $200 I would “pre-touch” the photo. He asked what that was and I said before I take a picture I would pick up the #@&!! styrofoam cups! He laughed and let me pick up the stupid cups. Unfortunately he didn’t let me bill the extra $200 bucks ; )

The term “pre-production” has been used for years in advertising photography. It is the time it takes for a photographer to set-up and prepare for a shoot. Most of the time it is billable and appears as “Pre-Production” on the invoice. Scouting would be a form of pre-production.

Hey Scott, pre or pre-production has been a film/video term for many years. Part of it is exactly what you described here. Sorry, a whole industry beat you to the punch. Anyway, as a photographer and a film producer, I’ve always used the term pre-production to describe my anal retentiveness before I press the button.

And the ID4 reference, really?

Love the film reference you have too much time on your hands, Happy Independence Day (isnt that ironic coming from a Brit, having a cup of tea in your honour) I am only on 200 posts at the moment, just shows how dedicated you are.

Hi Scott, Congrats on your 1000th post! I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend. You sure earned it!

…and I love the way you removed the logos from the photo at the top of this blog post. By gosh, now I have no idea type of camera that is?!

Congrats on the 1000th post and 4th of July! You ever think of sifting through those posts and making a book out of that? No to little writing required. You could even a section in the book for when you have guest bloggers.
