    Another durn portfolio project. Inconvenient timing.

    Very busy now. Feels like another rush job.

    And it’s worth it.

    BOX OF LIGHT says:

    I wouldn’t have said yes to shooting The Masters this year if I didn’t have some odd pull and some odd fascination with the giant tournament. Yet, the images that stand out to me while editing aren’t those of Tiger Woods in nice light or Angel Cabrera with a club in hand. They’re the somewhat odder, somewhat unexpected images that make editing the whole week a little more bearable.
    I’m giving you those.

    In order to prevent future head banging, I will post some unconfirmed rumors I have been getting in the past few days/weeks. At that point I cannot establish any patterns or draw any conclusions – those are just rumors and this is what this whole site is about

    An extraordinary thing happened to me last Friday. A potential client called for a quote. My business, like many of yours, has been very slow for months and the call caught me off guard.

    Umm not sure what to think of this one. This has to be the craziest kid’s board game I’ve ever seen. Someone has to translate the text.

    For over two decades a sectarian rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and its infamous leader, Joseph Kony, have been waging a war against the Ugandan people and government, burning villages, mutilating civilians, and abducting children. Based in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the LRA has continued to terrorize northern Uganda since the late 1980’s, forcing millions of people to abandon their homes for dire conditions of internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.

    Here’s what I think people want to know: Is Photoshop’s PSD format a goofy, antiquated piece of crap, and by extension is Photoshop slow, clumsy, and/or outdated?

    No. (Read on for details.)

    Philip Bloom says:

    It’s very compact due to the sensor being smaller and the omission of a mirror box. It has full manual controls for ISO. You can change the shutter and iris manually WHILST filming, no exposure lock needed. It has an autofocus that works pretty well whilst recording, both in centre frame mode and using facial recognition mode, something I have recently found outstanding on the little Canon VIXIA HF20. The ability to have full manual controls should not be underestimated. At the click of the dial on the front you can switch between aperture and iris. This can be done whilst shooting.

    Clipstart complements your photo application to give you a place that is designed for home movies. Import your movies, tag, search, and upload with one click to Flickr and Vimeo. You can even quickly upload a trimmed portion of a movie without needing to save a new copy. If you have dozens or hundreds of short movies from a Flip or video camera, Clipstart provides the workflow to finally make sense of them.

    I have been very impressed by the research that PhotoShelter has done on photographer’s websites and SEO. Few if any companies are providing this kind of valuable information for photographers. I asked Allen to write a guest post for us that would get everyone thinking about photography and SEO. Whether or not you use PhotoShelter, you can benefit from their research. I found it compelling and hope you do too.

    Reporters like to think of themselves as essential to the national well-being, which might be just one more measure of how out of touch we are, but journalists are not the only ones who are suggesting as much.

    It seems to me that this musuem’s policy is simply another example of a museum who lets some power hungry curator draft some totally daft policy that is both unenforceable and in direct conflict with it’s mission statement.
