There are so many genres of photography and these days everyone is a photographer. It is not an arcane craft requiring special knowledge and difficult to attain materials and equipment as it was a century ago. The challenge in an overcrowded field is differentiating oneself. The real work is not that one nice shot that holds someone's attention for a few minutes anymore, but creating a body of work that stands apart.

Apparently the Urban Culture Conference and Awards is having slower ticket sales than they expected. How do I know this? Because they have trotted out the 'Vancouver sucks' card, and I quote, "Vancouver has had an historic reputation for lacking the community spirit necessary for a festival like the one we planned." Really?

Here is the Vancouver segment of Space Channel's "Fanboy Confessional - Steampunk Edition." I can be seen playing croquet at 3:00 and I'm featured running my photo-booth at 4:34. Phoenix Black, "We have a photo booth in the back with a local photographer who is really very, very good."
