The world wide web is the deal now for photogs. Gotta have a website, gotta have a blog. I credit Moose Peterson with nudging me into the blogosphere. For about a year, he was givin’ me the Moose Eye, ya know? “Where’s your blog?” Every time I’d see him. “Where’s your blog?”
So did a blog, and it’s been fun. But our website and blog have never been synced up style-wise, till today. Credit to first assistant Drew Gurian, who has been laboring on these puppies now for some time. Happy to say, they launch today. Lots of new work, new design, new linkage between the two. Love for you to check ‘em out. (If you’re reading this, you’re halfway done!)
Lots of inspiration, great work and strong voices on the web. One particularly inspiring voice is Chase Jarvis, who in terms of innovation, creativity, and the sharing of knowledge is at the top of his game. He just launched a series of really fun videos called The Consequences of Creativity, in which all sorts of dastardly things happen to him while he’s pursuing an image. He falls off a bridge, explodes into flames, gets hosed down, and also gets run over by a fast moving vehicle. So my studio started buzzing, and well, we have a lot of sick puppies here. One of our interns, Mike Grippi had an idea and here’s what we came up with…
a ton more stuff in the pipes..
more tk.

Hi Joe,
Looks like no stylesheet to me here! hope is all gets sorted
Sean McCormack says:

Looking at the code, the style sheet is relative to the main page, so works there, but when you go to an individual post, it’s too far down the folder chain to access the style sheet..
The video on the other hand is the work of a sick puppy

That’s a hoot.
I’m upping my video output too. I only use a wee Flip Mino SD but I’ll be hacking it shortly with a wide lens and synching up an audio recorder too to record my sons’ galavanting over the summer. I’ll mount it all on a home made fig rig which is already looking like a sports car steering wheel with bits and bobs all over.
When it’s done I’ll make a film about how I made it.
Stay tuned.

I really like the new design, clean and simple in the way it should be.

OMG Joe, at first I thought it was a rip off of Chase, I should have know better. EXCELLENT. That is one sick mind (thank goodness)
Site looks wonderful Joe and Drew!!! Really great work.

Well done, but it still needs some work
The layout of the “Meet Joe” box is a bit flawed under Firefox 3 - text is flowing past its frame.

…and that´s why i ALWAYS ALWAYS tell my friends and teach my children : if you see a dwarf, hit him FIRST and hit him HARD.
btw.: hmmm, great workshop video to get my hands on an iphone and dump that ole blackberry. Where do you say lives that Chase guy ???

About the video: Uh… don’t quit the day job…
About the redesign: Great! It’s very clean, easy to read, and the nav icons give it a distinctive touch without disrupting the overall flow. The downside: Makes me feel I should redo mine…

The new blog looks great! Cheers to Moose for getting you started, and cheers to Drew on the redesign.
That video … sucked. Luckily, video is not a memorable media. (he he!)

Touche! Hilarious Joe, you mad bastard.
I’ve learned a lot from you over the years…how to put 42 speedlights in an assistant’s wig, how to CTO the Empire State Building with a camera in one hand and a ballerina in the other, and now, how to hit that slow, fat pitch over the outside corner of the plate right outta the park
Hats off to you, an honor to be roasted, brother. Looking forward to that next beer in Dubai or wherever that might be. And of course, big ups on the refreshed site + blog.

Totally one-upped CJ on the “Creativity” vid. Busted out laughing (Chase’s only garnered a chuckle) and got the “evil sigh” from office-mate/wife for the disruption. Thanks for the laugh.
fausto rowlan says:
on June 10, 2009 at 9:52 am
LOL! The biggest laughs are the ones you don’t see coming, now I have to wipe the coffee off my monitor. btw, how’d you get your face so red?
Joseph Rowland says:
on June 10, 2009 at 10:10 am
Joe, love the new site, and the slap-stick humor. I am sure Chase laughed out loud at the video. Your “sickness” and demented sense of humor always keeps me coming back. Thanks!
Terry Reinert says:
on June 10, 2009 at 10:14 am
Joe… love the new blog design! It is very clean and easy to read. Very nice! The video is hilarious as well… reminds me very much of a Mike Myers movie for some reason… the midget punching you in the nuts probably has something to do with it! Hilarious!

Hey Joe… “where you going with that gun in your hand?”
sorry was thinking of an old song. Seriously, GREAT job on the new site and blog. May you’re sense of humor never change, it keeps an insane person like me from going crazy.
PS. kudos to Drew Gurian, great stuff.

Hey Joe… gotta keep your eye open for those tricycle-riding little people!
They’ve been known to come out of nowhere, kick you when you’re down and steal your iPhone. I could have sworn that NatGeo did a story on them…
