A source tells the publication, “Pete and Ashlee have approached every single celebrity magazine with offers to sell their first photos, but nobody wants them. Covers of them tend not to sell well.”

CLICK NOTE: I found a lot of these winners to appear highly ‘Shopped. Can someone please explain to me how the clouds in this National Geographic International Photography Contest winning photograph are true reflections? Sure looks like a hideous photoshop job to me.These shallow waters are mainly famous for flamingos at Nal Sarovar near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The picture shows the reflection of clouds on water.

he registration area while attendees stand in line. No problem, I thought: I’ve got all of the original iMovie projects backed up on DVD, in clear cases, neatly arrayed in a drawer next to my desk. (My hard drive wasn’t big enough to hold those 50 videos a year.)
Guess what? On the Mac I use for video editing, most of the DVD’s were unreadable. They’re less than four years old!

At the time of this review I’ve spent about 1 month with the 5D Mark II between preproduction and production cameras. The images in this review represent what I have shot over the last week with a full production camera. I’ve included links to CR2 raw images and some HD footage. All images were processed with Adobe Camera Raw 5. The movie was edited in Premiere CS4.

Every day for a year, Tacey Willis looked for an eye-catching photo subject — a ballerina, a rocker dude in a bookstore or three older ladies from the Red Hat Society. She allowed herself one shot each day, with only one piece of instant film.
But halfway through that year, Willis abruptly took the money she’d saved for a down payment on a car and bought every piece of Polaroid film she could find. Why? Because the Polaroid Corp. announced it would stop making instant film. And without it her project, “Day by Day Polaroid,” would never be complete.

Newspaper, magazines, Web sites and a few book publishers are tapping into a curious American fascination: mug shots. Publications like Local MugSHOTS run nothing but photos of recent arrestees in a community.
You don’t have to commit a violent crime; you don’t have to be convicted; you don’t even have to be a celebrity (though for some publications, it helps).
Just get arrested — no charge is too small — and your mug could grace the pages of a local magazine or Web site.

The Tenderloin is a downtown San Francisco neighborhood that is pretty sketchy and seedy. In fact, that’s part of its charm. Still, the (comparably) cheap rents make it attractive to a broad demographic, psychographic, and just plain psychos. A few months ago, Adam Jackson, 22, moved there and was surprised by the crack deals, violence, and general rabble-rousing outside his window. So he and his girlfriend set up a couple Web cams and a site, AdamsBlock.com.
