Aaron Hockley is a photographer and technologist who’s been tied up in the blogging world since 2001. He remembers using WordPress before it had themes and Twitter before it had @replies, which means that he’s an early adopter, crazy, or both. Most of his professional photography work is for small- to medium-sized businesses and special events. When not behind the camera, he’s often found writing and speaking to photographers and the public about the intersection of photography and various internet-powered new media topics. His expertise on these issues has been cited in articles appearing in the media on CNN, the New York Times, TechCrunch, and BusinessWeek; he’s spoken at various regional and national events including several WordCamps and New Media Expo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
