Not STILL photography per se, but I just finished a 10 month project putting together a compilation of all my diving / drone footage from Fiji this past winter. I had it in mind to do a travel vlog style film, but the structure was EH (kind of abandoned the narrative after like two days) My first time working with the drone though and editing with Final Cut Pro - very pleased with how most of the footage came out. I’m not sure why by YT seems to want to default to lower than the native 4K so make sure to crank that up

A friendly reminder that we all do a great job of capturing others, that sometimes we forget to capture ourselves!
Shoot a fellow photographer when you see one in the wild
(Not like Dick Cheney “shoot”…photo shoot)

Shot of the year. If I remember correctly, the ball never made it more than 3ft off the ground…

For any of you who have the skills and interest in teaching photography at a private boarding high school in Connecticut that has an 18 hole golf course on campus: The Taft School is looking for a photography teacher!
The Pros:
- Summers off (paid)
- Short school year (We start the week of labor day and get out just after memorial day)
- Professional development funding
- Awesome students from around the world
- Membership at the Watertown Golf Club (partially on Taft’s land, so all faculty are members)
- Compared to other boarding schools, the duty load is very light.
- Breaks!
- 10 days at Thanksgiving.
- 2.5 weeks “winter break” in December.
- 2.5 weeks March break.
- A long weekend each coaching season.
- Campus is a great place for families, especially those with kids.
- Families get free tuition for their kids.
The Neutrals:
- All teachers must be part of the residential life program. This means living in a very nice apartment attached to a dorm and being responsible for the residents.
- Pro: folks generally have the opportunity to move out to one of the houses the school owns within a few years.
- All Faculty must be part of the afternoon program for two seasons, which generally means coaching, but can mean running community service, teaching yoga, or other related activities. I love this part of the job, other people don’t go into this line of work because of it.
The Cons:
- We Still have classes Saturday mornings.
- During coaching seasons, we travel for games, and the opponent furthest away is around 2 hours.
- Dorm duty nights can go late (depending on the dorm and age group), but generally we are only on one night per week and one out of every 5 weekends.
Goodness knows this is a job that is also a lifestyle, and it is certainly not for everyone, but there is no job I would rather do. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

What do they teach these days in photography. When I look it (35 years ago at one of your sister CT boarding schools) 1/2 the class was developing film.
sidenote. I loved, loved the class and shot and/or developed 90% of our yearbook. But it was between that and typing, and as a 50+ year old who still hunts and pecks at like 20wpm, I feel like I may have made the wrong choice.
If I were to make a semi-educated guess (I quickly asked a college arts/photography friend): more about software editing, post-production work.
The basics of ISO/Shutter speed/aperture, the Rule of Thirds, stuff like that… are pretty straightforward. Motion blur, long exposures, ND filters… that stuff is still taught, too, because the better your raw data/pixels, the better the post-produced work is (and the less post-production you have to do).
Definitely made the wrong choice. In my first year of High School, French was in the curriculum. But, the French teacher had moved to another State in Australia and there were no other competent French teachers to be found nearby. This was in rural Australia so, fair enough. We all learnt to type. One of our PE teachers took the class and made it competitive. For 3 years. Two hours a week. Initially we learnt on those big old machines which were all gradually upgraded to Apple Macs. All my year group can touch type 50+ wpm - plumbers, builders, electricians, farmers the lot. Best thing I learnt at High School.
