  • How to Photograph the Moon

    I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a good shot of the moon. Long story short, I need a much better camera and a much longer lense. Isn’t that always the way?

  • May Day Project

    Now how did that happen? Yahoo!’s daily picks actually linked to something kind of cool that had somehow slipped under my radar. the may day project is about collecting glimpses into people’s lives through photographs. whether they be self portraits, landscapes or macros, candid or posed, snapshots or something more creative – we want to…

  • Look At me

    I would expect to find Look At me to be very compelling. But, most of the photos I ducked in to look at were all posed. I find posed photos way less interesting than candids. Who wants to see people being self-aware? Well, unless they are VERY self aware (NSFW). Which is interesting in entirely…

  • The New Creativity

    There are some really nice photos over on blog.saralovering.com. I go from blog to blog, and I find all of these people being creative in interesting and personal ways, and I wonder, is that everybody? Is it that digital cameras are everywhere now, so people are finding new and easier ways to express themselves and…

  • New York Institue of Photography Tips

    NYI’s Tips for Better Pictures looks like a fantastic resource. Each month, they dissect a couple of their students photographs. Good stuff all around. Plus they cover a couple of other interesting, photography related themes. I might just have to sign up for their e-mail so I remember to check back each month.

  • Toilets as Art

    OK, well some of these images are beautiful. Some are decidedly not beautiful, and the one with the bison head (or whatever that was) scares me just a little bit. Still, MicHael Galkovsky’s Toilets series is worth a look.

  • Excellent Self Portraits

    I LOVE the photography of Asya Schween. It’s basically a series of self-portraits, but she went all out with these. Costumes and effects and… just Wow! It’s vanity. It’s anti-vanity. It’s art in a very real and personal way.

  • Other People’s Photos

    I just spent about 7 minutes randomly refreshing through some stranger’s photo gallery. These aren’t art shots (most of them). They’re just kind of the random shots you snap off of friends or vacation trips or whatever. I don’t know why I find them so fascinating, but I do. Probably because I’m bored and hungry,…

  • 28mm.org

    Lots of great photos over on 28mm.org. It seems I always stumble across these wonderful photo sites, and I spend like an hour clicking through their offerings. Then, for some reason I keep forgetting to go back on check on them as new content is added. I need some way to remind myself to go…

  • Soylent Green is People

    A callous appeal to emotions? Yeah maybe, but still are these the people we’re so eager to go kill? (scroll down for the photos). They’re so much like you and me. They’re going to be blown to hell, in the name of ego freedom and peace. More to the point they’re going to be killed…
