I know I may be a couple of days late with this announcement, but I still think you should know that the second chunk of Tibor Radványi’s (a.k.a. PhotoNovice) Project on Blog Statistics is now done and there were 9 submissions (including mine) to the project.
I’m not going to list them all here - you [...]



Caltex (or Chevron) Wants Your Photos

May 12th, 2008

“Take a great picture with a Caltex logo in it and win a great prize in this year’s Shooting Stars competition.” That’s what they said on the contest’s homepage. The great prize, based on the red text, is an Apple iPod Touch or a Nintendo Wii. It isn’t that great, but hey, I [...]

Adorama reports that “New York City’s City Council is holding a hearing this morning on a proposed law that would require wedding photographers to be licensed and submit a $5,000 bond.” I don’t live in New York so this doesn’t affect me directly, but the proposal still scares me. If [...]



May Site Updates

May 5th, 2008

We’ve been tinkering with a number of things on the site over the past few days. Some things make it easier for you stay connected to this little site. Others give you, our readers, a face. Some others… well… do other things.
This post discusses some of those changes.
We want to see your faces!

Events Organizer Steals Photograph

April 23rd, 2008

Take a look at the two images below - the image on the left is clearly the source for the layout on the right, right? Ignore the globe that has replaced the model’s head, as well as the additional “fabric” that replaces her hair - the pose, the guitar, and other details should make [...]



Project: Site Statistics

April 19th, 2008

Last month, I got an invitation to participate in Photonovice’s project on blog statistics. It involved discussing “shocking, funny, awakening or otherwise special search term or list of terms you noticed in your blog statistics.” Unfortunately, I didn’t find any interesting search terms to share back then. Back then, “cactus pt-04″ and [...]

Gallery: From Darkness to Light

March 31st, 2008

I recently mentioned that I was looking for gallery software. Well, it looks like our recent upgrade may just be the solution. In a way, this post is a test of WordPress 2.5’s muti-file upload and built-in galleries. Considering the number of images, it’s also going to test our servers, not to [...]



From Darkness to Light

March 19th, 2008

Recently, I had the chance to shoot a concert entitled From Darkness to Light. Some of you might think about this organization, but I doubt they’re directly connected. However, the concert and the organization seem to share a common cause - combating sexual abuse.
From Darkness to Light featured some of the biggest names [...]



Looking for Gallery Software

March 18th, 2008

This isn’t really news, but I’m looking to add a gallery to the site.
I’m not replacing the portfolio or anything - in fact, I’m very happy with it. What I would like, however, is a place to display images that we think are good, but not quite good enough to make it to our [...]
