When taking photos for publication don’t take photos of the back of people’s heads. These photos are unusable. They don’t tell a story. And it’s frustrating when you think you have photos of an event to use and you can’t use them.
That is all.

Unless, of course, you write for a hair styling magazine.
Nah.. there’s even a whole flikr group for them: http://www.flickr.com/groups/shotsofbacksareboring/pool/37806605@N00/
Yeah I gotta disagree with this. There are plenty of times a shot from behind someone (either head or whole body) would be entirely appropriate. But a shit photograph of the front of a person is more valuable than a shit photograph of the rear I guess. My advice would be to be less shit.

I guess I’m talking particularly about photos of events or functions that you want to use for your annual report.
I give the camera to people going to something and they come back with photos shot from the back of the room, or from behind a group of people standing in a circle so all that you see are their backs… these are not so good.
Yeah but these people are idiots :P You know a classic shot of a function? Behind a speaker looking out at the crowd.
AS I said before, shit photographers :P
Well worth the cost of hiring a professional photographer for any big function I think.
Better than trying to explain to someone why you can’t use their crappy shot.
That’s right. Hire me
Is it just me, or are comments disappearing?
Hmm. They should be back soon. This "Intense Debate" thing is meant to be importing all the old comments.
If they're not back up by later tonight I'll kill it.
And some of your side bar items seem to have disappeared too?
I moved the sidebar stuff on purpose. Links and Archives now get their own pages. I'll add links to my pages in the sidebar when I get the comment stuff sorted out.
