Many months ago I decided that I wanted a decent backup system for my massive photograph library. I’ve been using Apple Aperture to manage my photos, and the library has been growing and growing. Our main computer is my work station and the family computer, so the wife has been adding to the iPhoto library [...]

Photo flashback #1
So, I’ve been a photo-loser lately. I have a whole day’s shooting sitting in my Aperture queue, just waiting to be processed. Please forgive me!
And since I haven’t posted enough regular posts lately, I thought I’d toss up some of my more popular photos from the past year or so. These are my personal favorites, [...]

Attention Photographers!
Last year, I almost had the chance to attend a sweet Photo Symposium, in Moab, Utah. I swore then that I’d try hard to attend this year. Well, I can’t get the days off work. However, I didn’t want to pass up on a great location like that. Now, of course there are great locations [...]

From Rock to Rock, on the PCH
Over the past year, I’ve grown and learned so much as a photographer. Last year, I just finished my first year photowalking, and I was embarking on the second year as the facilitator of PhotoWalking.org. I had just had a few good months with the a couple of photo challenges, and I launched PhotoChallenge.org.
Through all [...]
I have incited a riot
Yesterday I was in a special mood. I don’t know why, but I was grouchy for a bit. However, as usual, I wander the internets reading blog posts and articles.
Apparently, I stumbled upon one of my dailies, and posted a comment. Well, I guess my comment was a bit off topic, or something. I was [...]
Hey, the April Challenge has started!
I won’t get into all the details here, but the April Challenge, over at PhotoChallenge.org has begun. Our theme is entropy. Come on over and join us!
I’ve already begun. Here’s the first and the second. Below are the photos:
Portrait lighting help
With the December Challenge in full swing, I wanted to take a moment to highlight some important things I’ve learned so far.
Lighting is very important.
Make sure to choose a shoot time that gives you good natural light.
Careful with the mid-day sun pounding down on you. Can you say over exposed?
Choose a nice shallow depth of [...]
15 days until the December Challenge
Don’t forget, in just 15 days, the December Challenge will begin.
All you need to do is commit to shooting a portrait a day, each day of December, 2007. You don’t need a blog, just upload them to Zooomr (or Flickr if you must). Tag them with, “decemberchallenge” so that I can track them all easily.
During [...]
December Challenge

Follow along with the participants at Zooomr and Flickr.
***************************
My October Challenge was so successful for me personally, and for the handful that participated, that I decided I want to continue growing and stretching my abilities. So I took some time this month to look at more areas of photography where I could use some [...]
