“Photographers, know thy printer, for the printer will forever portray your perspective to the world.” A most frustrating situation occurred in early November that has inevitably motivated me to narrate a very exasperating experience with you. This story should be shared because it is a collection of events not dissimilar to a comedy of consecutive errors. Even though the story has a relatively pleasant conclusion, the lessons, I would opine, were accrued during the plot between the prologue and epilogue. […]

In January and February 2013, Seattle experienced some major low-lying fog for several consecutive days. When the fog descended upon Seattle, it literally transformed the city into something rather exotic and, to some extent, alien. Needless to say, it was quite exciting for TIA to capture several scenes around Seattle with this new, obscure ambiance hovering above the city! Seattle typically does not have thick, mystifying fog lingering around for several days. As a result, these everyday scenes one would […]

TIA International Photography would like to use this article as a special opportunity to promote two partners who have been integral to promoting TIA in the last year. The first partner is Kirk DeMatas, the author of “Wordspeak” (2008) and, more recently, “Conversations with Skeletons” (2012). TIA provided some photography for “Wordspeak”, and was hired exclusively to do the photography for “Conversations with Skeletons”. In 2013, The Seattle Grind, an independently owned coffee shop in Seattle, has been showcasing framed […]

Starbucks Coffee Company recently invited me to make a presentation about night photography for its internal photography club. It was a terrific event for which I had nearly a month to prepare. I was never nervous once until a few seconds after the presentation started on April 9th. A bout of apprehensiveness struck me, which was really all in my head. Nothing unfortunate or embarrassing occurred! Fortunately, I had a very good-natured and engaging audience. After a brief microphone sound-check […]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am thrilled to introduce you to the next photographer of TIA’s Feature Photographer series! She’s Rebecca Ang, an incredibly talented and artistic photographer based in Singapore. I initially came to know Rebecca’s work on Flickr and was so extremely enamored with her mesmerizing cityscapes of Singapore. She is one of those photographers whose work keeps her friends and contacts frequently checking her photostream to see the latest, brilliant image that she will showcase and share next! […]

Recently, PhotoShelter.com presented an intriguing blog topic entitled “Would You Work for Free?” The subject has generated plenty of discussion among photographers who are approached to perform services or contribute their images for little to no compensation at all. Responses included very reproachful remarks while others have attributed this trend to the Information Age in which we find ourselves. Furthermore, some remarks plainly lamented the hyper-saturated abundance of photographers in the world who are willing to virtually give their images […]

One topic that has frequently been on my mind is the ethics code among photographers. Does a code actually exist, or is it a figment of a photographer’s imagination? Or perhaps, is it my imagination solely? As human beings, we each have our own codes and regulations that guide our behavior, and determine what we believe is fantastic, acceptable, unacceptable, or loathsome. When we are in groups with people who share our similar interests, sometimes the group develops or formulates […]

I think it happened somewhere on Hope Street between W. 2nd & W. 3rd Streets, possibly a little after 8pm. It was the fourth day of November in 2011, a Friday night. I was enjoying the urban grid of the streets of LA on what turned out to be a very clear night. It had been raining when I arrived from Seattle (perhaps it followed me?), but the rain seemed to purge the city of its pollution and clear the night sky, if only […]
