My friend Andre Charland’s (AKA Captain Ajax) company recently underwent a branding change. They’re old name was eBusiness Applications and thier new name is Nitobi. As a part of the renaming and rebranding efforts they wanted new pics of their executive team to corresponding with changing face of the company. Nitobi is an agile, honest, and friendly technology company and that comes through in the shots. Check out the pics on Flickr from the Nitobi photoshoot and this quote from Andre in our corporate photography references section.

“Mr Krug is truly an amazing photographer. He really knows how to capture ones personality in a photograph. I really think it has to do with his rare blend of creativity, technical photographic skills and his easy going friendly demeanor. I would hire Kris again in a heart beat!”
-Andre Charland: Nitobi

Raincity Studios is an awesome web design and development firm here in Vancouver that I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the past couple years.

They’re a team of Drupal and Ruby On Rails ‘rockstars’ as they like to say and wanted street-style edgy photos that represented they’re attitudes and projects.

We took these shots in the alleyways within a few blocks of their office. Check out the rest of the pics over at Flickr. Thanks for a fun shoot guys and I look forward to doing it again as your team continues to grow!

Nick Douglas Leaving Valleywag

It looks like Nick Douglas, the personality who over the course of the past year became synonymous with the Silicon Valley gossip blog, won’t be reporting there any more.

Thanks to everyone who collaborated with me on the recent Made in Vancouver‘ photoshoot… especially Shai from Prepwork, Kim from Discollection and Jesse from ModelMayhem.

Check out some of Static’s other fashion photography in our portfolio.

I’ve been meaning to post to this site for a while a few shoots I’ve worked on in the past couple months including this one with kdon of Discollection and the Torgerson sistas – Margie and Petrina.

Thanks to Shai again for doing hair for this shoot. Shai’s got a great new blog too BTW – you should check it out at ShaiStyle.com. Oh yeah, Kim’s got one too.

What’s Zo Wearing?

Secret Photoshop Agent and resident Fashion Icon zoetica often has the staff at SGHQ asking, “What’s Zo wearing?” Her unique and eccentric style is a rallying call to those who suffer from mainstream malaise. Each week, she tells us how she’s combined ord

Well Movember is in full swing, and here’s the first iteration of my Mo… taken in Photobooth over at Workspace here in Vancouver. I’ve heard guys say “I’m a grower, not a shower.” I like to think I’m both.

Several other peeps are representin’. Check out awesome Mo’s by Brian LeRoux, Derek Miller, Dane Brown, and Robert Scales

Also pretty funny is the ‘Movember’ tag on Flickr. And here’s a link to NowPublic’s coverage of Movember.

The Definitive Guide to Cell Phone No-No’s

Annoying cell phone usage is becoming a scourge of our society, and it’s not just for arrogant executives anymore. It seems like wherever you turn in public spaces, there’s someone yelling into their phone, having the most mundane conversation about n

Your Guide to Wikis

A wiki is simply a web page that can be written or edited by the public or a group of people. What sets wikis apart from other web pages is the simple way that anyone can edit or add to an existing page, or start a new page.

For those of you who don't know, that lil white 'puter sitting on the bar at Workspace has an awesome app on it called Photobooth. It works with the onboard camera and you can take fun and silly pics of yourself and the peeps you see at Workspace. I'm currently working on a lil documentary project where I take at least one snap everytime I show up at the space. It's been fun and I have quite the collection going. If you do take some please tag them 'photobooth' and 'workspace' so we can find them on the internet. You can also submit them to the Workspace group on Flickr. I'm going to make a Qoop poster of them all my Workspace Photobooth self portraits and give it to Bill for Xmas.

November Drupal Training Update – new Drupal for Consultants

Oh, right, the update: we’re locking down the first day as a more general day that should be applicable to people that don’t fit neatly into either Designer or Developer, or that don’t have time for a full 4 day course. So, the first day (November 14th) w

Deconstructing Flickr’s “Interestingness!”

By hinting at the existence of secret sauce, Flickr enters the “we’re more than a pretty face” and “trust us we have amazing algorithms underneath” competitions along with people like Digg. If fact it’s getting to the point that if you can’t work the word

Interestingness Is to Flickr As PageRank Is to Google

The recursive nature of Flickr’s interestingness makes it analogous to Google’s PageRank–the complex site ranking system used by Google that ranks sites fundamentally using the PageRanks of the sites that provide links (“inbound links”) to the ranked sit

The Interesting Economy

Today, Flickr has interestingness, which is a measure of some combination of how many times a picture has been viewed, how many comments it has, how many times it’s been tagged or marked as a favorite, and some other special sauce. I suppose revealing the

Flickr Interestingness Rankings Patents Released

Blog posts about Flickr’s interestingness, and a February Flickr forum post on changes to the interestingness rankings, show a lot of interest in the “secret sauce” on how photos are determined to be interesting. A couple of patent applications were

I joined the new community website over at JPG Magazine. JPG Magazine was started by friends Derek Powazek and Heather Champ and has had close ties with Flickr since the beginning. They’re launched a cool new site with community features and I think it’s going to be a hit.

I submitted a couple photos for the upcoming issue.. please go check them out and voice for them. The website seems to be the first project of newly founded company 8020 publishing who is looking to ‘revamp the way magazines are published’. From their website:

The online world has created a culture of creation among ordinary people. Meanwhile, magazines are still partying like it’s 1899. Writers write, readers read, and never the twain shall meet.

Simply put, this can’t last.

Magazines need to open their doors to their readers. Instead of thinking of writers and readers as two separate communities, magazines need to realize that they really only have one community: the people who give a shit about their magazine.

Good stuff guys.
