The Eye of God – Recreating Andreas Gursky (Google Earth Remix)

www.flachware.de As many young photographers, I always dreamt about flying around the world, visiting spectacular spots and places, just like Superstar Andreas Gursky does. So finally I decided to stop dreaming and just do It …in Google Earth. So here is my personal remake of Andreas Gursky’s megapicture. www.fastcompany.com

    Oh my God this illustrates photography clients so well. Very insulting when they claim they want to edit the digital negative RAW files and have another “photographer” with an iphone over the shoulder.

    This is beyond hilarious! I have had every one of these conversations. And can I add this one: “I am the sister of a cousin who used to live across the street from you. Could I have a discount?”

    This was hilarious! I’ve been doing photography for a while now, and I’ve come across some “lovely clients” like this.
    Take for example: I had a client want me to completely photoshop her out of the photo where she was standing behind her daughter pushing her on a swing.

    I occasionally run specials, and no matter how low-priced they are, I have people complain that they are too expensive. How can a $30 special be too expensive? I’m NOT the WalMart studio, people!

    AMAZINGLY head on. I guarantee photographers who have been at this a while can relate to EVERY one of these things.
