Now that my weblog is back up and running smooth, I was going to start posting pictures from my recent trips. However, news this weekend out of Southern California tells of a gang of local surfer thugs (& one bikini-clad thugette) going head [...]

How many reasons do you need for a celebration? For me, right now, it’s two; the recent successful server upgrade and my blog upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 both of which seems to be working. (Knocking on wood.)
However, I’m shorted by a mere 11,999,998 reasons when compared to photographer Liz Ordones-Dawes who has been awarded [...]

I’ve just spent a dreaded chunk of time preparing for and finally upgrading my weblog wordpress application. The move of my web site from an old server being shut down, to a new server has caused a few days of worry as I try and fix all those little things like email accounts, form actions, [...]

The text reads, “I am a professional Photographer, and I have no idea what f-stops, ISO, or that other crap is.”
OK, maybe they’re not advertising on Craigslist… but it’s highly likely!
How can you be a professional photographer and not know what an f-stop is? OK, granted, I once met a woman at a photo workshop [...]

This is one of the places that I’ve passed along in my current travels. They don’t have a Rush Hour here. They don’t even have a Rush Minute. I don’t think anyone in this town knows the [...]

So… imagine your listening to a conversation between a couple microstock photographers talking dirt about one of their agents’ new subscription sales models. One photographer says something like, “Don’t they understand we don’t want to license our images for $0.25 a download?” Then another microstocker chimes in with a semi-rant and says something along the [...]
