Novel photoblog concept.

I’m a ‘leg man’ tonight. I really like the visual rhythm in this one. No “B” shot; didn’t have time.
Rob Galbraith DPI: Complete model releases on the iPhone with Easy Release.
“Washington, DC-based photographer Robert Giroux has co-developed an app for the iPhone and iPod touch that enables model releases, with signature, to be completed right on the device.” Now THAT will encourage me to get an iPhone or Touch. Model releases are a pain in the butt, more necessary than ever. This is BRILLIANT.
Miller-McCune: Sparking Creativity Via Multiculturalism, Thinking Like a Child.
“Looking at practical applications, the researchers suggest games and ’guided imagery exercises designed to facilitate a childlike mindset‘ could help foster originality in both the classroom and the workplace.” I look at the photographs I used to take in early high school, and still remain in awe of my simple curiousity and natural ability to gather graphical shapes into B&W;photos. Perhaps I shouldn’t chase that muse, but just try to reimagine the world as a 9th grader would.

Smashing Magazine: Uncovering Toy Cameras and Polaroid Vintage Effects (With Photoshop Tutorials).
“These devices, made entirely of plastic, including often the lens itself, are not only toys. Sure, they cost next to nothing and have no controls to speak of, but this is what people like about them: they create unpredictable pictures, with equally unpredictable vintage effects. Once you understand this, the rest is a beautiful game.” The end of the article has full Photoshop tutorials for those who want to ‘fake it.’

Two shots of Sandra; one on Flickr, one on the photoblog. Shameless plug for a friend: Felted flower courtesy of JW Handmade.
DP Review: Pentax unveils 40MP 645D medium format DSLR.
7264 x 5440 pixels. Nice. Not horribly expensive (compared to top-line DSLRs), either. ~$9.400.
DP Review: Tamron develops SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD lens.
There are no great 70-300’s, I’m convinced. Wait for more comprehensive reviews.

Jemez Mountains range in storm. [If you’re a Flickr contact, you can view it at 1600px. Sorry for the Flickr filter folks, but this way I can keep a control on who gets access to my images. I used to post large images all the time, but illicit use and theft have prevented such good-natured shares. I’m working on other options in the meantime, because like today, some need to be viewed large.] “B" shot on the photoblog shows off my beard growth.
Boston Globe, The Big Picture: Chile, nine days later.
“Nine days after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake killed hundreds of people in south-central Chile, relief efforts were beginning to reach those in need, rescue missions became recovery missions, and rebuilding is already under way.”
DP Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 announced and previewed.
”To elevate its operability even higher, the DMC-G2 adopts touch-control shooting for the first time in the world as an interchangeable lens system camera. AF is immediately set to the subject by just touching it on the large, 460,000-dot LCD and you can even release the shutter.” Micro Four Thirds continues to innovate and advance. According to an article I read the other week, this format is currently the biggest seller in Britain?

Sandra, winding yarn. “B" shot shows some calm in the midst of our recent violent storms. This crazy hailstorm hit fast, hard, devastatingly ... luckily only pea-sized hail. Carlsbad’s apparently getting the same thing, only with golf-ball size hail. Best of luck, you all down south!
Another shot from yesterday.
Heading west on Palace Ave, across from Cathedral Park.

Santa Fe Railyard, on a Saturday night. “B" shot is the St. Francis Basilica, over on the photoblog.
Dawn.

Yeah well, it’s Friday. I’m allowed. “B" shot on the photoblog required my pants to be on the ground.
What in blue blazes
am I going to take a picture of today for my 365 thing? No idea.
Design You Trust: Easter bunnies will steal your soul.
I would run away shrieking like a girl.

These are my guys, my dudes, my homies. They’re on a utility box just down the street. Been meaning to photograph them for a while now. “B" shot on photoblog shows the view on a lunchtime walk in my neighborhood. You’ll see the Jemez Mtns off in the distance.
PDNPulse: Swag Alert! Canon White Lens Coffee Mug.
I’d like to see the face of a sneak-thief who grabs one of these.

Thought y’all would like to see what an unremarkable sunset looks like in Santa Fe. No “B” shot today; didn’t have time or opportunity.
