    Top Photos of 2023 All that stress took a toll I think on my creativity.  I am reasonably happy with my top 9 images for this year, but I can feel my creative juices atrophying some.  Every creative process is variable, and people have strong and weak periods.  My hope is to concentrate a little…

    Computational Photography And Photographic Manipulation – Jonesblog The last couple of years have seen attacks on the very definition of truth.  These attacks have been motivated by political positions as well as interference from other countries, but they are also enabled by technology.  Image manipulation has been done for as long as images have been…

    Bonneville Speed Week, 2016 What follows is a small sampling of the hundreds of racers that appeared out on the salt flats to see how fast their equipment can take them.  It is hard to express the scale of the racing out here without some form of arial photography, so I have focused on the…

    Link: Dump Your DSLR And Save Your Back – Jonesblog If you need another reason to dump that heavy DSLR gear, I am going to give you an orthopedic perspective: think about your back.  The title may be a bit hyperbolic, but I’m not feeling particularly charitable towards larger and heavier cameras right now.
