I have my photos for sale at a number of websites now...

This past week I spoke with a consultant at Best Art Marketing, Tuck Tucker. He gave me some very good information about SEO, Keywords and a multitude of websites to show my photos.
I ended up adding about 6 new sites to sell my work.
I am going to list them below and maybe some of you will take a look and comment on the quality of the sites if you know them. Many of them are worldwide, many of them are new to me.

Indiewalls, Cafe Blossom and me...

Yesterday I finished setting up the exhibit at Cafe Blossom. There are 8 pieces in total in the restaurant.

They are located at 41 Carmine Street between Bleeker and Bedford streets. www.Indiewalls.com set up this whole thing so I want to thank them for the opportunity first.

Cafe Blossom has 3 restaurants now, this is their newest location. A top rated Vegetarian eatery.

Did all of my classes for Photoshop and Lightroom pay off? YOU DECIDE...

I have been taking some free classes at B&H Photo, watching tons of videos on Youtube, reading other Photographer's Blogs and Lynda.com. With all of this new information on how to fix my photos even better than before I would like some FEEDBACK FROM MY AUDIENCE....Please.

LEAVE ANY FEEDBACK ON ANY OF MY PHOTOS HERE OR AT FLICKR....

Below is a link to some photos from my thousands and thousands of travel photos that I have taken over the years and started to Redo some of them a little at a time. I am amazed at how many photos I actually have taken. My trip to Morocco had almost 2,200 and my trip to India a few years ago had almost 3,500-that is just 2 trips. I am posting the photos on Flickr right now and will decide how to get them to my site later on at www.richardsilverphoto.com

KLM airlines will be featuring me in their iFly Magazine in September...

I was contacted by KLM airlines about my Tilt-Shift photos. They found me online when searching for this type of photography. Apparently they were impressed enough to contact me and feature me in their September 2012 issue. 5 photos were chosen for the isssue. Each month they choose a photographer associated with travel and this issue I seemed to be the right fit for what they were looking for.
Here is their website....

New York, Machu Picchu, Paris, Hawaii, Santorini were the places chosen for the spread. Here are 2 of what they will use.

Finished taking a Lighting course at ICP in New York...

For about 8 weeks I have been taking an interior lighting course at ICP. The class was learning about Strobe and Tungsten lighting and showed us how to use both types of lights for interior real estate photography. I was teaching myself a better way to shoot interiors using Speedlites, Nikon, and found the class to give me lots of insight on proper lighting procedures.

I am attaching a few of my finished images. I had the opportunity to take photos for a client, Barbara from "A Proper Place" and James from "Sold with Style". Two beautiful apartments, samples below with a flickr page link attached.

Just got back from traveling through Morocco....

Started in Casablanca then to Rabat, Fez, Marrakech and then back to Casablanca for one night. If you have ever traveled to places like north Africa you know how fascinating the people are. The way they live, eat do commerce-utterly a photographers dream.
This is my first trip using my new Nikon D800 and the camera did not dissappoint me. I rarely used the video but the 2 times I did the quality was superb. As far as the photos....I will attach links to see all of the photos along with a few snapshots....enjoy.

Occupy Wall Street, May 1 2012...

I just went to take photos of the Flatiron building doing HDR today and I was bombarded by thousands of protesters..."Occupy Wall Street"...
One of the police officers said there were about 1,500...BS! There must have been at least 5,000-10,000 people I would estimate. I started taking pictures of the random people and then just starting taking photos of peoples signs.
Here is a link to see most of the pictures from today.

Shooting with my new Nikon D800....

I just bought the new Nikon D800 on Ebay...reason being that is the only place to buy it. I had it on order at Amazon and B and H Photo but both places have not had it since it was released. I ended up buying it from someone in Colorado who got it from Adorama in NY.
Amazing, NY to Colorado back to NY....
I have been testing out lenses to see which one's I want to purchase.
I tried the Nikon 14-24mm 2.8 (bought it), Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 (bought it), Nikon 24-120mm 4.0 (returned it), Nikon 50mm 1.8 (returned it), Nikon 50mm 1.4 (bought it), Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 (returned it), Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 (bought it). I took photos inside of apartments -mine, a few friends apartments that they are representing as real estate brokers, my friends baby, a night out with freinds and running around the streets of NY city.
I probably took about 800 or so photos already and posted many of them here on flickr....

I am amazed at the quality of the photos, the details are spectacular!
If I had this camera and these lenses my whole life I would be a weatlthy man. This equipment make you a better photographer.
