Facing Forward – what’s up in the Fall?

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

The last holiday weekend for a while is fast approaching.
The last hurrah for the summer.
But what an exciting fall coming up.
At the CohenAmador Gallery in NYC:
“On the Street 1980 – 1990” an exhibition of portraiture by the renowned New York photographer Amy Arbus in conjunction with the publication of her book of the same title.

What you see, is what you get ??

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Just ran across this interesting article. Photos That Lie from CNET news.
And it seems USA today has picked up on it also.

3D for digital cameras

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

As you read yesterday, 3D has a pretty rich history in our culture.
All of the ways to achieve it in print are based in the realm of shooting film.
Or are they?
The good folks at 3D Stereo.Com are carrying a 3D lens to fit your digital SLR, allowing you to shoot 2 images (left eye-right eye) [...]

James Cameron may just be right!

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Recently James Cameron ,mega director of Titanic, said that one of the ways to get customers back into the movie theater is…..3D!
With the advent of big screen,HD and home theater systems, the studios have to offer something truly special to get people into the theater.
Yes good movies help.
3D is a pretty unique offering with Superman [...]

Where do all of those uploaded photos go???

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Shutterfly, Snapfish,Flickr, Easy Share.
You have probably used one of these on-line services for prints, calendars, books, etc.
Honestly, last holiday season, we got more cards, personalized books, and other photographs
printed by Shutterfly than any other service. Perhaps they are all catching up with services you want. Snapfish just did an upgrade you may want to check [...]

A little project in your spare time.

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

The IPOD ads have become world famous, winning award after award in every advertising contest they enter.
[photopress:shufflegirl.gif,full,centered]
(not a real IPOD ad)
They have been out for a few years and keep going strong, now with varied backgrounds, as opposed to solid color template.
Did you ever want to make your own? Well we found site that gives [...]

Saving your storage space…

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Nope, not on a hard drive or on your media card.
We’re talking real living space!
Left town for 4 days and came back to a boxful of magazines. Hmmmm…how many trees in THAT box?
Well there is another way if you are willing to read your mags online.
It is called the Zinio Reader.
Now the main difference here [...]

A mentor I never met.

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

As a young man, the single photographer who had the greatest influence on me was Edward Weston.
Reading from his daybooks , a diary of his journeys, thoughts, and imagery, they transported me to a place of an imagined future life.

Any parents out there?

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

As the summer dwindles down to the last couple of weeks (sorry to point that out) and kids everywhere get ready to head back to school, the inevitable school photos will be taken.

Did I forget something?

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

Newsweek Video Blog

Sunday, August 13th, 2006

As we think a little bit about the events of last week with the thwarted terrorist plot, there is no doubt that 9/11 becomes top of mind again.
There is a new movie by Oliver Stone “World Trade Center” (click for trailer) thats is out, and the media is filled with the remembrances.
Newsweek has been doing [...]

Weekly Giveaway – Hold everything…ok,maybe not everything, but a lot.

Monday, August 7th, 2006

Photographers are always looking for the right camera bag. There is the bag for holding everything, the one for the shorter trip, the traveling light bag, and of course the bag to just hold the point and shoot plus extras.
One of our favorite bags is a sling bag that sits like a backpack but slings [...]

A tip and a gift. Not bad for a Monday.

Monday, August 7th, 2006

Quick tip: Now that we are seeing larger screens on the back of every digital solution, even though you always put the camera right back into a pouch after using (sure), there is a greater risk of scratching that beautiful screen.
Here’s what we do: go to an office supply place and buy a packet of [...]

Wait..My photos have noise? Can you hear it?

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

Ok, everyone has probably heard about “noise” on digital images. You’ve heard about in regards to camera image sensing chips, and you’ve heard about it being something you can see in the image.
Well lets try to clarify a bit, show you some examples and then give you a solution.
Fair enough?
In using a high ISO, [...]

But I LOVE the look of Kodachrome. Paul Simon and I do, anyway.
