Why Self Portraiture?

Expired Slide Film and Cross-Processing
As anyone who has been hanging out and shooting with me has probably noticed I’ve been shooting a lot of slide film (E-6) this summer and processing it as negative film (C-41).

Is “Fix it in Photoshop” A Valid Statement?
Is “Fix it in Photoshop” A Valid Statement? My opinion on this has always been a very loud and clear, “NO!” There’s so much more to taking good shots than uploading something that isn’t so great onto your computer and changing it to become semi-okay.

Lead Generation via Myspace

New Canon Digital Camera – Canon 5D DSLR
I’ve been telling my friends, family and various other photogeeks I hang with that Canon will be putting out a full-frame sensor upgrade to the Canon 20d in time for Christmas.
