I am exhausted. I just got in from a photo shoot (well 3, honestly) and to say the least it is a very long day. Only those in the industry can truly understand and appreciate the grueling day that we go through. Those outside of the industry think we just breeze in at the last […]
There once was a man named John who decided one day to become a professional photographer. So he set off on an incredible journey. He first purchased 10 Alien Bee lights (because that’s what he was told to do). He purchased a Rebel TSi and all the lenses he could afford (because that’s what he […]
I was at a lighting seminar a few years back during the New York City PhotoExpo. It was the big one that comes to New York City held at the Jacob Javits center in midtown Manhattan. You know the one, where all the new photographic toys and gizmos come out. You walk around salivating over […]

I knew when I re-released that blog (“Who The Fuck Are You?” https://dallasjlogan.com/blog/who-the-fuck-are-you/) from my archives that I was going to receive a lot of responses towards it (most of them were in private). I got a lot of praise for telling the truth and I even got one “You are a douche bag.” Really? […]
