Time to fire up the grill...
foodstyling by Anne Fisher

Hardly worth the effort- From Seth's Blog

noreply@blogger.com (bill@krzyzphoto.com) — Sun, 30 May 2010 20:31:00 +0000

In most fields, there's an awful lot of work put into the last ten percent of quality.
Getting your golf score from 77 to 70 is far more difficult than getting it from 120 to 113 or even from 84 to 77.
Answering the phone on the first ring costs twice as much as letting it go into the queue.
Making pastries the way they do at a fancy restaurant is a lot more work than making brownies at home.
Laying out the design of a page or a flyer so it looks like a pro did it takes about ten times as much work as merely using the template Microsoft builds in for free, and the message is almost the same...
Except it's not. Of course not. The message is not the same.
The last ten percent is the signal we look for, the way we communicate care and expertise and professionalism. If all you're doing is the standard amount, all you're going to get is the standard compensation. The hard part is the last ten percent, sure, or even the last one percent, but it's the hard part because everyone is busy doing the easy part already.
The secret is to seek out the work that most people believe isn't worth the effort. That's what you get paid for.

May First Friday @ Krzyz Photo

Hey All,
Can you believe it's already time for May First Friday? Things have been hectic around here again (not complaining mind you). This month we'll have "FREEZE" by Erick Warner and Travis McElhany. It is the second showing of collaborative paintings between the two artists, working together they traded time on each piece exploring different techniques and approaches. The largely abstract pieces draw inspiration from both organic and man-made materials to unify color, texture and space. For each painting the end result is a unique blend of styles that challenge the senses and never reveals the same thing twice.

First Friday May 7th
5:30-9 pm One night only.

Hey all,
It's been a busy month at Krzyz Photo, sort of nice after the crazy winter we've had. I'd like to thanks all my commercial clients who make it possible for me to keep being able to allow artists to show on First Friday … you know who you are! This month we'll be showing the work of Steve Brisendine. To quote Steve,"My last formal art training was in seventh grade (not counting the short photography tutorial at yearbook camp before my senior year in high school). Last year, I got a case of 'Hmmm ...' as in, 'Hmmm, what would happen if I tried painting in only one color?' And so, the One Tube Project was born." Steve also wanted to let everyone know that 20 percent of proceeds will be donated to the Laundry Love Initiative also donation cans will available for quarters.

First Friday April 2nd
6-9 pm One night only.

Do you think print is dying?
No, I think it is EVOLVING. We have to stop thinking of photography in terms of Print and instead think if IMAGES in terms of ASSETS. Those assets can be still or moving and can be used across a variety of media.

great insight on the CHANGING landscape
