Tried a bit of a soft glow effect with this photo in processing. I kept rubbing my eyes to see why it wasn’t as crisp. Does it work?

There is so much going on in this photograph it is kind enthralling and distracting. Interesting how, when framed correctly, one can cram so much into one framed photograph.

I do notice that after three years of Photoshop, I’m a lot better now that I once was. Not for anything fancy beyond basic lighting adjustments that I could do in a darkroom. But it is nice to see that I can turn a photo I thought was flat and plain into something that snaps [...]

You know, at times I get the lighting just right and I think, I really don’t need new gear to make good pictures. I really don’t. New gear is really fun though. I’m very happy with my 20d. I’m also very happy I won’t have to sweep up the leaves that would have fallen on [...]

No tripod at the fair means high ISO settings, and a lot of noise from my 20d. One of the many reasons I’m salivating for a new source of income to play around with a newer camera with better low-light photography abilities.

There are so may photos I took on my trip to the UK last year that I never got around to sharing because I moved back to Southern California within days of returning. I’m going to intersperse them in amongst newer photos I take. Enjoy.

I am currently combing through four years of photographs, pruning and making selections. When I lost every photo I took from 2000 on through 2006 because of a hard drive failure i swore to back up to more than two locations. I have saved everything and then soem ever since.
Now I have an overwhelming number [...]

Hand-held long exposure around dusk. My lens cover had fallen off onto the straw strewn ground, so many of my photos from the fair turned out speckled. I’m evaluating Lightroom. While it has a few benefits (this fancy watermark being one, and posting directly to Flickr another) it is rightly photo-centric. I think I prefer [...]

Success! There are now navigation links at the top of the home page. Only problem now is fixing the archives.

Made a few more changes to the site, trying to decide on and implement all of the most reader-friendly design options I can.

Customizing Wordpress along with Thesis is a bittersweet joy. All I want to do is add a “previous” navigation link on the home page. I can’t figure out how, Google is failing me.

An interactive display at a forgotten museum shows common themes that run throughout people’s lives, no matter their ethnicity or political persuasion.

Hard to think it’s been just over a year since I was in the UK. Time is so fleeting.

Now, I’ll title my entries by numbers because titles are cumbersome after “Man in the Street” has been used seventy times before by hundreds of other photographers.

In an attempt to design my site correctly I need a second post.
I’ll even include a quote:
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
That’s not an exact quote; right?

In an effort to reignite the regular nature which my photography should occur, I’ve decided to ditch the old design which I moved to my personal site last year. I’ll keep those 540 photo online since I lost a majority of the original photos in a 2005 hard drive failure that taught me the importance of [...]
