I’ve written in the past about Facebook and Picasa and their (IMHO) ridiculous terms (at least at the time, I haven’t reviewed them lately). Now twitpic, a site that we all use used to upload pictures to show on twitter has decided that they are more than welcome to sell our pictures. They even tried [...]

Project 365
Well, it’s been 6 days now, so it seems I’m committed enough to tell you all about this. :-) Many of you have seen my photography work…however, what I’ve found is while I do take a lot of photos, they’re generally part of some sort of fashion-related shoot, and there’s at least as much (often [...]
Lightroom and Mac Pro performance – part 2
Back in February, I wrote about the performance I was seeing with my Mac Pro, and compared it to several other machines. My intent was to compare performance between various different machines and configurations…but it had the unexpected side effect of giving me a baseline with which to measure new versions of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. [...]
Amy Davis – American Idol
For the first time ever, I’ve started watching American Idol this year. And imagine my surprise when I see that Amy Davis is one of the final 24 contestants. Just over a year ago, I spent a week on a small island near St. Thomas, doing a series of photo shoots. One of the models [...]
Facebook’s crazy terms of use
Sigh. About a year and a half ago, I wrote about Picasa Web Albums, discussing their terms of service and explaining why I couldn’t use it. Basically, those terms said that Google could help themselves to your photos if they wish, and if they wanted to put them on a Google billboard in Times Square, [...]
Virgin Mobile and Flickr photos
Wow. I’m pretty much the last to hear about this, but it’s truly hard to believe. Virgin Mobile has an advertising campaign out at the moment, which uses photos from Flickr (Creative Commons licensed), but doesn’t have model releases for the folks in the photos. Google it here.Molly Holzschlag was one of the people depicted [...]
Vote for this photo!
JPG Magazine has a fashion theme for issue 12 this year…I just submitted a photo I took of the lovely Salena. It was a brisk 35 degrees F that night in Denver, so I figure she’s earned the cover. :-) If you have a minute, click here to vote for it!
My new photography blog!
As many of you know, when I’m not in the office here at NewsGator I’m usually doing photography. I started out photographing just about anything, but I’ve more recently been focusing on fashion work (and a bit of glamour as well).I’ve got a lot to say about all of that, and I agonized for a [...]
Why I can’t try Picasa Web Albums
Almost a year ago, I reviewed a few photo hosting sites. After that, but quite a while ago, I got an invitation to try out Picasa Web Albums, and I just now got around to clicking on the link to try it out. But I didn’t get far…here is an excerpt from their Terms of [...]
Color calibration – not for the night owl
Colors. Who knew they could be so tricky. One night, a week or so ago, I was making a print of this photo on my photo printer, a Canon iP6600D: Simple enough, you’d think. I even was using Canon’s specific ICC profiles, based on these instructions for Photoshop, for my specific printer and paper combination. The colors [...]
