D day is here. The announcement that many claim could save the publishing industry is upon us. Today Apple unveils the rumored device almost certainly to be a digital tablet. Wether this is truly the earth shattering device its been built to be, I doubt it. Will I buy one, probably. Either way the future [...]
As you may recall as the holiday approached last month I got insanely busy. One shoot taking up a majority my time was a project for Business Week. At the end of every year Business Week does a double issue giving a financial forecast for the upcoming one. I was tapped to shoot three images [...]
PDN just published the results of its 30 most influential photographers of the decade survey and the flame wars on the comments began pretty quickly. Anything like this is going to be easy fodder for the self conscious and overly opinionated. The photographers are: BECKER ANNIE LEIBOVITZ SETH RESNICK JAMES NACHTWEY SEBASTIAO SALGADO JASMINE STAR [...]
If all goes according to plan my site will go live tomorrow with a few updates, particularly to the contact/client/award area. The motivation behind this update was a little bit of old fashion bragging. Well not really bragging, hopefully smarter self promotion. You see a few months back I was named one of the Art [...]

Also I love the voyeuristic angle of seeing inside the secret workspaces of other [...]
Today Dan Saelinger Photography became just a little more legit with the addition of an actual employee on a real tax deducted and all payroll. Two years back I would never have imagined I could afford an employee let alone wade through all the bureaucratic aspects of actually having someone under my employ. The truth of [...]
Contest entry season is upon us, and as I sit here calculating entry fees the costs are quickly adding up. I’m really frustrated with rip off like tactics that have been tacked onto photo contests removing any dignity associated and turning them into cash machines, ie. late fee entry periods set up well in advance.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’re probably well aware of the pending unveiling of the Apple tablet in the coming weeks. Can’t wait to see the future of publishing? Well today Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer plans to unveil their tablet manufactured by HP at his keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. [...]
2010 is officially here and I’m rearing to go after a very much needed week off. Here’s hoping the New Year picks up where the last year ended in a frenzy. My resolution for this year? Be positive. I had a great conversation with my rep just before the holiday break discussing attitude and how [...]
