Cool geeky article about the beginings of what we know today as a JPEG and how a Playboy centerfold is at the center of it all!!!

It is not even March and the March clips are pouring in.  Last month found miami based Joshua Prezant Photography photographing lots of high powered movers and shakers in the financial world for different financial magazine. Next clip will be of Ron Stone ( keep a look out).
Each subject that sits before my camera is a another person whom I could learn something from. And when the person sitting in front of you manages over a BILLION dollars with a superb track record of great returns over the last 30 years one pays extra attention to any tidbit of advice for making and investing money that they are willing to share with you.
Bill Dunn, of Dunn Capital was no exception.  If you invested $100,000 with his WMA program (his longest running program) would be worth more than $4 million today!  Dunn created a computer program that helped with long-term-following commodity trading back in the day when the computer program lived not on a hard drive or thumb drive, but on hundreds of IBM punch cards ( see picture in clip).
Bill Dunn was extremely patient and a easy subject to photograph. Despite some rain clouds that moved in on us, we were still able to capture the wonderful view from the back of Dunn’s Stuart, FL headquarters. Â It also did not hurt that I thought he was a spitting image of Artist Chuck Close.
The second March Clip to come in the mail today is from Benefits Selling Magazine. Â You may ask your self what is Benefits Selling Magazine? Â Well, you may not know it, but the person that helped broker and put together your employee benefits plan knows it very well. Â They provide the latest news, analysis, and commentary covering every facet of the employee benefits business. And they also have a great staff and a terrific photo editor!
The subject of the photographic shoot was Ron Stone.  He is not just one of the most important figures of the benefits industry, he is also a huge Miami civic supporter.  He serves on the boards of The University of Miami, The Orange Bowl Committee and Gibraltar Bank.  He was gracious to let Joshua Prezant Photography and his band of assistants into his home and then to get on top of a roof in order to get one of the images we needed!  It was a real pleasure spending the morning photographing Ron Stone.
One of my favorite clients to work for is the Washington Post Magazine. I always know when the call comes in for an assignment that it will be enjoyable. This assignment did not disappoint. I was sent out to document the “Miami Bohemian ” art scene down in Miami. The images were going along with a first person account/ travel piece that writer Sandra Beasley was doing.
