The results are in for the “Buying Prints from Your Favorite Photographers” blog project. Turn out was decent albeit smaller than I would have hoped. Considering that during the span of this project September 17th to November 8th our economy has been in a meltdown and the attention of many has been consumed by the recent U.S. Presidential election… it could have been worse. For those that opted out

Back in mid-September I first announced my latest blog photo project “Buying Prints from Your Favorite Photographers“. I have to admit that I was really stoked to kick this project off and was eager to find great artwork by photographers I respect and want to support. Well the task was tough and not for the reasons you’d expect. There are so many great photographers out there that I had a tough time

It’d be great to have your participation

While in Switzerland I had the good fortune of experiencing peak fall color. Along the way i decided to experiment and really liked how this particular photo came out. This is a straight photo with only a little bump given to the natural colors of the scene. What originally attracted me to the subject in the first place was the color and while I took standard photos of the scene I found this rendering of it captivati

Election day is one of the most energized days of the year particularly when a U.S. President is being elected. As record crowds turn out and hype grows through out the day it’ll be very tempting for photographers to want to get out and document election day in their community. If you hear the call of the siren to do so be aware of the laws in your state. In California where I live there are very strict laws re

The 22nd episode of EXIF and Beyond has been released (duration 42 min. 59 sec.).
