PhotoJojo – Again!

previous article: next article:

Picture-1.jpgI’ve gone on about PhotoJoJo before, back in may, when they were just starting out but they deserve it, damn it, so here’s officially a re-recommendation of what they do.

PhotoJoJo started off as a great idea by my good mate Amit and his mate Kara. The idea? Well, how about creating what essentially is a clone of Photocritic, but do it better? Only joking, what they are doing is quite different from what Photocritic does, but the catchline is much of the same: If you like quirky stuff that is photography related, you’ll definitely want these guys on your team.

Instead of being something as new-fangled and Web 2.0 as a blog, PhotoJoJo is a mailing list (with an archive, of course, so that’s kind of like a blog), which drip-feeds you great ideas. In the beginning, it was all a bit hit and miss as they were trying to find their footing in the world, but I’m glad to say that the innovation and the consistency of the quality has gone through the roof.

Hell, their dozen posts have all been on my ‘can I do something on this for Photocritic’ list, but I keep having to remind myself that I’m the Photocritic blog, not a text archive of PhotoJoJo :-)

Anyway, with articles like their mailable photo frame, the 10 cent, 10 second photo holder, and the add a decade to anyone’s face article, how can you fail them?

Brilliant stuff. I’d really appreciate it if you came back to Photocritic to read our stuff, of course, but make sure you subscribe to PhotoJoJo as well!

And Amit — I know you’ll be reading this — Keep up the fantastic work! :)

Money made from this advert will be invested in prime lenses.

Wow, thanks so much, Haje. You’re too kind! (And of course I’m reading this! I heart photocritic — especially with the snazzy new re-redesign!)

So, the 550D and the 50D cost practically the same, and have different advantages. Which one would you buy?

My books

Macro Photography Photo Workshop

Macro Photography Photo Workshop by Haje Jan Kamps My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and most decent-sized bookshops, too!

To find out more, check out this post! If you want to know more about the 'being a writer' thing, check this site out.

Put another dime in the jukebox

Put another dime in the jukebox In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.

With nearly a hundred fantastic gig photos, and a ton of info about how to get involved in taking photos like this yourself, you can't go wrong. Buy this book. Grab your camera. Good luck.

Street Photography: London

Street Photography: London Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Sounds simple - but the results are anything but. Moving, intense, and personal, Street Photography: London is a great collection of the people of London, their passions, and their dreams. Look for yourself!

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
