John Ramsey, "The Other Side of Suffering" Father Tells Story of Jon Benet Ramsey
Monday, October 10, 2011
This is one of the most interesting assignments of my life was photography John Ramsey for the book cover of his new book " The Other side of Suffering". Before shooting him I did a lot of research. I remember the story and when this came out when I was child 14 years ago. In my research it really was striking how sad and how much press this case got. My impression "freak tragedy glorified over and over by the media". The story of six-year-old, Jon Benét, was murdered; Ramsey was the one who discovered her body, concealed in the basement of his family's home. He was suspected of murdering his daughter by the press. This book is his opportunity to set the record straight.
It was very awkward for me to meet this complete stranger, famous for the tragedies in his life and capture that. What do you say. What is appropriate ? We went out to the desert to several different locations until the sun had set. He was very kind and sincere. I applaud him in his recovery and hope the best for him.
To purchase the book you can find it on Amazon

Fire Lanterns in Brooklyn New York
I was Brooklyn for business and I was staying with my good Friends and they live in the tallest building in Brooklyn. So going to the roof is incredible. No need to fight the lines at the Empire State building to see the skyline. We decided to hang out there enjoy some wine and these people were lighting these Fire Lanterns and letting them float off the building. I happened to have my camera and tripod because I wanted to get some nighttime shots of the city. I wouldnt mind playing more with these fire lanterns more. Can't do that in Texas right now with the Fire Ban. Boo wild fires!

Recent head shots...don't normally get to photograph people over 5...it was refreshing...there was no crying or dirty diapers involved. He did not run and hide from me...and when I asked him to do something he actually understood and responded...it was crazy! But fun too.

Homeless Alien, a Photo Story
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
Alienation is defined as:
al·ien·a·tion/ˌālēəˈnāSHən/Noun
1. Isolation from a group or an activity to which one should belong or in which one should be involved.
2. Loss or lack of sympathy
Alien Nation conveys the feelings of separation and disconnection in society. How strange our culture would appear to such an outsider. The imagery encourages reflection upon our social conditioning and paradigm.
Its an interesting social commentary and question about the homeless. Why would you choose to be homeless? Everyone has their own opinions on what it means to be homeless. Ideas like: " These people are drug addicts, alcoholics, veterans, lazy, convicts, retards, handicap.. and etc". It can be all those things. There is actually a huge number of battered woman and children on the street.
Shooting the project has been its own sort of adventure. We went downtown and wondered around for a while. It was definitely a social experiment. Some people would ignore the big elephant on the street with a camera crew others would sit & gawk/ point and laugh, teenagers would get their pictures taken with the Alien. There was this ritzy party going on at an affluent hotel downtown. People saw us walking and insisted that we come inside to mingle at this black tie affair. As soon as we walked in this older man shewed us away like we were infected peasants. It was very strange - they invited us in and uninvited us just as quickly. Later we met some transient folks at the mall who were very nice. The woman said " ohh you just like us!" She let Alien sit by them and she played some music soon we had a crowd of 40 people around us on double levels watching clapping wondering. It was good business for our transient friends and they made some money for their travels. Soon security came and insisted that we leave or take off the mask.
This is one set of my social Alienation series.
Actor/Model James Christian Morris is the Alien. He is a method actor all the way. He even has his own Alien Language- that I of course understand. He is so passionate and dives into any role he participates in. He's been in numerous films, magazines and publications. Its alot of fun doing this with James.

Special effects makeup artist Chris Richard Hanson created the mask. Chris is a true master at special effects. He has won several international special makeup awards for feature films. Very nice personable and professional.

Why photographers should use QR codes
Wednesday, June 29, 2011
Have you seen one of these little squares yet?

| QR Code for mobile website m.waynewallacephotography.com |
There's a huge buzz about these things called QR Codes for marketing and driving people to your website. QR Codes are quickly becoming a very known thing. You see them everywhere you look. It's basically a fancy bar code that can link to your website or your contact information.
QR Codes were created by Toyota as a better bar code system and now they are used all over Japan by many business types. Read more about them at the links below
As a photographer I really like this QR code technology too, but not for the typical reasons of putting them on your marketing materials which is a great thing too.
The thing I'm excited about is putting them on my images that I publish on the web. My new photography studio policy is to watermark all my web images with my QR Code. This QR Code points to my mobile website http://m.waynewallacephotography.com

| Using QR codes on photographs as a form of copyright identification |
Why Should You Consider Do This Too?
Photographers have put traditional copyright stamps and or their logo on their pictures for years now as you see at the bottom of my image above.
If you think about it for a minute having a smart barcode on your image is way better than a traditional logo or copyright stamp. It's a smart barcode that points back to your website and it can be used to identify you as the copyright owner and creator of the image.
Also, it's my belief that as QR Codes become more popular Google and other search engines like Bing will start offering more services related to QR Codes and indexing them which could mean more traffic and exposure for you and your services.
The other obvious benefit right now is that if your image gets copied and posted on different web sites viewers can scan it with their smart phone and jump right to your website to see more of your work and possibly hire you.
I like using this QR Code reader on my iPhone it works great.
http://www.qrcodecity.com/
There are many readers and QR Code generators out there.
I used this one to create this QR Code
http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
Google has an app called Goggles which allows you to search the web based on a picture. If I take a picture of this blog post Google Goggles will even recognize the QR Code embedded in the image and provide a link to my website.
As we all know Google indexes images right now, but don't you think they can easily scan those images looking for QR codes embedded in them and provide additional related information to the web surfer? After all, Googles main job is to provide relavant search results, right?
http://www.google.com/mobile/goggles/
I think QR codes are a great technology for photographers, what do you think?
