“Macros, Pans, and Invisible Chairs”
Just some Spring Time Photos
It may seem like a dumb idea, but I’ve been thinking about making postcards for the towns/cities I visit. Whether I do anything with them or not, I’m thinking more for myself. Just for my photo albums (or iPhoto album, I guess. Who still makes photo albums?).
I had fun working with the type on this, and I think it came out well.
New purchase at the flea market today. Great condition (it’s a filter, not really that grimy), comes with flash, and a really nice leather case. For a camera collector, I’m surprised it took me this long to get this model. Got a great deal on it too!
Sunset over Lake Zurich, IL. It’s actually been nice out, so I finally managed to get out and start taking pictures again! These are usually my go-to-shots, to get back into it. Here, or a nearby forest preserve that I have thousands of pictures from.

Don’t worry, we were drooling when we first saw it too. It’s a new print from Pop Chart Lab titled “A Visual Compendium of Cameras,” and it features 100 of the most important cameras in history.

Running out of space on your phone is the worst.
The iFlash Drive will save you! It’s a portable drive that you can transfer your photos onto in a jiff.
Since one end plugs into your phone and the other plugs into a USB, you can transfer them straight onto your computer in one simple step.
Pretty nifty idea for all the iPhotographers out there.
The one camera we *don’t* have on our shelf — this LEGO camera that has moving parts. It was made by LEGO Suzuki!

You should really go support this project. I would very much like to buy this!
Results of messing around in Photo Booth on the iPad, but really want to explore this idea a little more using a DSLR. I know it’s something that’s kind of been done to death, but I think it would be a good project to get my creativity flowing again…

A new client runs bed and breakfast company that just added a new lodge. They wanted photos retouched for their website and newsletter..
Client: I’ve attached the photo. I just want it to look nice, but I could do with it by the end of the day.
The attached photo is a dull-looking snapshot of the lodge, taken in early January at about 4:30pm, with very little visible though the heavy snowfall. I do my best to warm up the look of the lodge so that it looks nice and cosy on the inside.
Client: No! That doesn’t look nice! I meant like a nice summer afternoon.
Me: There are 8-inches of snow. The pond is frozen solid.
Client: Can’t you just Photoshop the snow out of it?
Me: Not really. If you have some other reference photos then I could try and recreate the finished lodge, but it would basically be a digital painting by the time I’m finished.
Client: Who said anything about a painting? I just want you to get rid of the snow from the photo I sent you using the photo I sent you. Is that so hard?
Me: Yes! Exceedingly.
