"Othervertical"
I named my site after a phrase, Pulitzer Prize winning Chicago Sun Times photojournalist, John H. White (my photojournalism teacher at Columbia College) always said during shooting drills in class. "Othervertical" refers to the positioning of your camera while shooting. You normally shoot horizontal or vertical, but John would tell us, that there are going to be times when you can't raise your right elbow, and you're going to have to raise your left. Hence the name "othervertical."

For those of you who know John, you know he's a very spiritual person. I've always believed that "othervertical" wasn't just about shooting a different way, but thinking a different way.

Some people will tell you that everything that can be done in photography has been done already. For those of you who believe that... For those of you like me, keep looking through the othervertical.
