Abstract: A method of connecting photographers, clients, and photography venues, the method includes creating a platform having a photographer portal, a client portal, and a photography venue portal; receiving data from a photography venue through the photography venue portal to create a venue profile, the data including at least a photography attraction, a price, and a schedule of availability; providing a client with a list of venue profiles matching one or more search criteria input by the client; receiving a selection of one of the venue profiles by the client; and facilitating communication between the client and a selected venue.

Abstract: In some examples, a computing device includes a data port, device memory to store firmware for the computing device, and verification circuitry. The verification circuitry may override operation of the data port responsive to a determination that firmware verification mode criteria are satisfied. The verification circuitry may also extract firmware data from the device memory for verification of the firmware and provide the firmware data to an external device connected to the computing device through the data port.
