Over a month ago, I asked the FriendFeed community to share their favorite photography blogs.  There were over 95 responses and I went through each and every link provided.  Of those responses, there were some overlaps as well as some that I was already following.  These blogs covered a variety of different topics from daily […]

Description: Taken during Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk a few weeks ago.  I must have spent nearly 5 minutes taking multiple versions of this shot and then possibly another 2 hours processing the 10+ exposures.  Sometimes when I shoot, I don’t have a set goal or vision for an image, however, for this shot, I had […]

I know I’m not the only one feeling the pain of social network overload.  In the past month I have signed up with over 5 different social networks.  If you don’t posses the Louis Gray Super Kickass Social Network Following Power, you are probably wondering when the craziness will stop, slow down, or at the […]

Thomas Hawk started a $2 portrait project not too long ago where his idea is to offer $2 to anyone who asks him for money in exchange for their portrait. I thought it was a great idea and since then, I’ve been actually hoping someone would ask me for money. Well, August 18th was my […]

(I apologize for the duplication of last weeks post) If you feel my photograph fits the theme, please take the time to give me your vote!  Anyone is […]
