I’m joining Tommy W. and others who’ve put forth a resolution to capture at least one image every day. Today I stopped by to see what’s left of a friend’s house. While we were gone for Christmas vacation, Scott had a fire at his house. This is what’s left of the carport. The wall to […]
Everyplace Photography?
Andrew Kantor, USA Today: New digital camera? Know how, where you can use it With all these cameras snapping around us, I started to wonder about the laws regarding using them. Where can you shoot? What can you shoot? Mr. Kantor’s a writer, not a lawyer, though his research seems to be pretty much in […]
Everyday Photography
I’ve tried to get more in the habit of carrying my camera around more, shooting on a more regular basis rather than just taking it to specific events. This Christmas vacation was a good time for that, just keeping my eyes open and taking pictures of whatever I saw. Here’s a view out the passenger […]
Crystal Quest
Oh my goodness – as if you didn’t need one, here’s the reason to be looking for an Xbox 360. Major Nelson just broke the news of an upcoming game to be added to the Xbox Live Arcade… none other than Crystal Quest! For those who might not remember, or who weren’t fortunate enough to […]
Let ’em Know You Care
As the nation pauses today to remember the attack on Perl Harbor, let’s also take some time to think of our currently-serving troops. It really doesn’t matter if you agree with President Bush’s policy or not, the fact is that the guys and gals are there – thousands of miles from home – while most […]
You Get What You Measure
Al Hawkins: Productivity and the Law of Unintended Consequences: I hope they understand that this means an end to the free tech support I’ve been providing, like programming the fax machines and kickstarting the network printers when they hung. No more productivity-enhancing projects, like the wiki and the information entered therein performed during the odd […]
Professional Photography Advice
This past Friday and Saturday I had an exciting opportunity and took it, attending the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar. There were workshops and viewing sessions, portfolio reviews and an expo area, and of course many photographers to meet. To the board of directors of The Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar and the staff (all volunteers, I believe) who […]
Football-less Friday
It feels really strange, now that High School football season is over; it’s Friday and I don’t have a game to shoot. I got a fair number of pictures in the local weekly newspaper this season, and last week I got an assignment to cover the Georgia AAAAA Volleyball Championship match. Milton’s girls fought hard, […]
Rumors of Xbox 360 Shortages
PirateT7I haven’t played much Xbox recently; we’ve been busy and it doesn’t help that the good TV’s out of commission. I’m looking forward to Xbox 360, though we may not get one the first week or two of release – we didn’t pre-order. There are rumors that even those who did pre-order may not get […]
Tying the Hands that Pay You
Copyright expert Silver tells me that DRM (Digital Rights Management) isn’t a problem for people. Well, ok. Most of the time. Except when Jenny can’t watch her movie. Except when Mike has trouble reading his e-books. Except when a member of Switchfoot has to tell fans how to listen to the Switchfoot CD they bought. […]
