First of all, as a reminder, today is the last day of January – which means the Textures theme is almost over for the monthly themes group. Because I know not everyone is able to take, edit and post photos all on the same day, I’m giving you a week to get all your [...]
I’m about to get a bunch of my photos printed and framed from my 52 Photowalk project last year (including the one you see above), and I thought this would be a good time to discuss why I think this is such an important thing to do.
I know a lot of you have your own blogs, so these 5 reasons to smile when you get a negative blog comment might be helpful. Ya know, instead of reacting how I am in that photo above. Even if you don’t have your own blog, I think the article applies to comments [...]
I talked a while ago about converting images to black and white in The Gimp, but that was before I had installed the FX Foundry scripts (see instructions here if you don’t have them yet), and since getting the scripts, I have found an even better way to convert my images to black and white [...]

Myles was a little annoyed that I spent all weekend looking at blogs instead of petting him
Wow, I was overwhelmed with the response from my last entry! Thank you all for the kind words you have said, too. It really means a lot. In return I’ve added the feeds for all the blogs [...]
First things first – a few people sounded interested in playing along with the monthly themes I mentioned in the last entry, so I created a flickr group for them. So please, join in! The only rules for posting to the group is that you follow the monthly themes, and that the photo [...]

Another 52 photowalks
