Oh, Snap! Photography Blog: Jeremy & Claire Weiss Portraits.
Some outstanding Polaroid portraits.
DP Review: Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 to support Tamron Lens Correction.
My 28-75 will be overjoyed.
FFFFOUND!: The longer you look, the weirder it gets.

Photoshop Insider Blog: Guest Blog Wednesday, John Loengard!
”Don’t try to tell a photographer how to take a picture, (except, possibly, suggesting some special effect). You want the photographer to follow his own instincts. You should, however, let the photographer climb upon your shoulders for a better view.” A really excellent read. Recommended for all photogs.

My office buddy, the Western Scrub Jay who seems to enjoy watching me work ... or else I just fascinate him with the tapping noises from my keyboard. Whichever, he’s a joy to see.
Anton Corbijn Books.
Fantastic photography within. Via Jake Sutton’s Twitter.
Macworld: Adobe releases Lightroom 3.2, Camera Raw 6.2.
NY Times: Ansel Adams Photo Dispute Has a Reversal.
Raises a question. If the Earl Brooks photographs are so hard to distinguish from Adams’ famous ones ... is Adams as special as we deem? Over time, this may impact the value of his Yosemite works.

This little bugger twined himself in the latch of my back sliding glass door. Boggling, because I was going in and out and briskly *closing* the door. By all rights, s/he should be flat or dead. A pair of barbecue tongs allowed me to remove her/his little butt from my doorframe (not until I elicited a few screams from Sandra) and place him/her outside the courtyard wall.
This falls right into place with everything else that’s happening ... power outage yesterday, when I needed to work ... fridge ends up partially thawed, and the icemaker decides to clog up after the power’s back on and coat the inside rear of the freezer with a thick later of ice.
It’s just one o’ them weeks, I guess.

Didn’t have time to get fancy ... we had a long power outage in Eldo this afternoon. Just a sunset angle.

Nathalie, Canyon Road, at night.

Another car club Friday night on the Plaza! And, a sunset.
photo.net: Photo on a sailboat …
… in a fjord. Great!
NY Times Art Review: ‘Samurai in New York’ at Museum of the City of New York.
“Ever since our arrival at the American capital we have frequently been asked by photographers to allow our photographs to be taken, but we have hitherto refused, as it is not the custom in our country. Today, however, we had to submit, in deference to the President’s wishes. We therefore, for the first time, faced the photograph machine.” I like that ... ‘photograph machine’. I’ll reuse that.
Abduzeedo: Rainy-Day Photography.
”I love those little moments when nature shows its beauty. One of those moments that I truly like is a good old rainy day during the weekend, when you just get to hang at home, watch a movie, eat popcorn, drink hot cocoa and enjoy all of it.” We don’t really get rainy day weekends like this in the Southwest, but this description takes me right back to childhood. Nice photos, too.
The Coolist: Serge Mendzhiyskogo Collage Photography.
This is a very welcome fresh take on collage photography. I like it.

Dusk is a fantastic time to go walking along Canyon Road. Fewer cars on the narrow roadway than during the day. and peeping in windows is fun, too. Remember a sweater. It’s chilly out there!
FFFFOUND!: Monkey riding a goat.
Handy, perhaps for an “I’m busy” email.
Boston Globe, The Big Picture: Russia in color, a century ago.
DP Review: Canon updates EOS E1 video plug-in.
Canon knows quick workflow will make or break their products.
Gizmodo: Canon 60D Impressions: The Perfect Video DSLR Is Just a Little Bit Closer.
”The 60D replaces the horribly aged 50D ...” Oh, thank you, Giz. Makes me feel SO happy.
DP Review’s hands-on preview. The xxD line has been turned into a prosumer model ... plastic body, SD cards, smaller form factor. The 7D would be my logical ‘upgrade’ if I wanted to continue in APS-C format. Doubt my large hands will be able to navigate the new 60D.
Canon U.S.A.: Six new “L” series lenses.
New glass! I adored my Nikon 75-300, though it was low contrast on the long end. I’ll be very interested to see this one from Canon. [My favorite Canon rental has been the 100-400.]

The old wagon in front of the former Galisteo Inn. What’s more remarkable is the size of that cottonwood; many folks don’t realize we have such large trees here in the Southwest. These things grow into monsters, if the water table’s close to the surface.
Later: almost forgot the herd o’ pronghorn.
Buzz-Beast: Camera Phone Lenses.
Sure beats trying to retrofit a full-size camera lens!
