I've decided to enter my first JPG Magazine Submission in the "Surroundings" category. I'd be honored if you'd take the time to go vote for it.
First the image: You might remember seeing a similar image from me in the past. In fact, that image is one of my most popular on Flickr. I had to [...]

It was almost exactly one year ago that I started a project attempting to photograph myself and share the results once daily. The time constraints of this, some kind of life, and a 50+ hour work week made it impossible to continue. I discussed ways of keeping it alive and then eventually ended it.

However, while [...]

Thanks to the handful of you who voted on Yesterday's Poll regarding a fair price for an 10×15″ print.
After analyzing the results it looks like the best "middle" I can calculate falls at about $17.88. My price for an 10×15″ is $3.95. The service that I use charges a commission and such so, in the [...]

It's that time again. You know the one where I debate photography as a career or at least as a means of paying for itself until I make it big. You know…

Make Photographs
???
Live happily ever after.

In this installment I'm trying to gauge what a reasonable price might be for my work. Not the price I'd [...]

Thanks to all of you for your insight into yesterday's discussion regarding Photo Collection Editing.
This image — Sun Scarred Sky over Lake Worth — is the result of that process and subsequent editing (view the original).
In the end, I ended up with 4 images (one from each angle) from the original 18 that I felt [...]

Sometimes editing a collection of photos is a more difficult task than actually editing the individual photos themselves.
When examining the results of a haphazard, moving photoshoot with a varied assortment of images subjects the task is often easier as each image is generally of a different subject with different lighting and framing. However with [...]

I know, I know. You all want photographs of my beautiful wife at the height of her pregnancy. And I'm a photographer, so I should have least one photo of her from each day since the beginning, if not an entire flash card full of photos from each day. I know. I get it.
Unfortunately, you [...]

It's been AGES since I've taken a photo, edited a photo, or published a photo (not counting the small paying job I had). That needs to be fixed!
So, this Saturday I'm going some place (probably outdoors), some time (probably in the morning), to take pictures of something (probably nature). More than likely my dad will [...]

This morning I'm editing photos for the paying job from last weekend. Not fun but a required evil.
Then I'll clean up the living room fun last nights mess making extravaganza and maybe try one more layout that I've been considering. I'm just going to pile up the heavy furniture that needs to be moved and [...]

I've photographed with Nikon cameras for over 10 years now. Sure, that's not nearly as many years as some of the outstanding photographers using this equipment today, but I'd like to think that 10 years not only marks me as a loyal customer but also means that I might know a thing or two about [...]
