Hmmmm....I've had lots of students ask me in the last year to start a photography club. I've thought about it much and well.... I've decided to give it a try. You see, this is actually the second time I've tried to start a photo club. A number of teachers at school said that they would be interested in one. So, we started one on Flickr. We had several shooting assignments, 3 or 4 posted

Randy Jones (above) and I participated in Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk on Saturday.  Groups from 10 to 50 were meeting in cities all over the world Saturday and were spending a couple of hours together walking around cities shooting pictures and sharing with each other.  Randy and I joined the group in Lansing.  There were about 21 of us, led by a photog from the capital city, Richard

Well, NAPP closed off the applications for new Photowalks yesterday, on Friday.  I applied last Friday (Aug 1st) for our own city (I actually applied for Mt Pleasant).  But, I have not heard back at all (either way).  Since then, another Michigan city was approved - Lansing.  So, I called the photographer (Dane Robison) in charge of Lansing and have decided to sign up for it.  I sent out an email

Well, have you ever been on a Photowalk? If you're like me, most of you haven't. At least not the kind of Photowalk I'm talking about. A Photowalk is where a group of people (who love to take pictures) walk around for about 2 hours and take pictures of anything and everything. At the end of the walk, they usually end up at some sort of eatery and sit around and chimp everyones pictures. If

Just out today (Monday, July 28th), a new search engine. Are you tired of Google? Google has become so common, that it's a verb used in our everyday language. The new competition for Google is Cuil, pronounced "Cool". Cuil promises to provide more comprehensive results then Google. It's results look different from Google's. It shows more information and pictures in it's results. You control

Do you have a Flickr account? If you don't, and you take pictures, you should! It's a great way to share pictures on the web. But that part of the story is for another time. For those of you that have a flickr site or have visited one (maybe mine?), I want to introduce you to a new way to explore pictures on flickr. It's called 'Blow Up'. It allows you to easily see the pictures from a site

About 3 years ago, after shooting two football games in one night, I was attempting to download the images from my Compact Flash Card. The error message I was getting suggested that there were no images on the card! After consulting with a few of my guru friends, I downloaded (and payed) for software (MediaRECOVER) that could search the flash drive (compact flash card) and find any images that

I recently decided to make a self assignment, something that would force me to go out and shoot pictures different from what I've been shooting for the last few years.  I've settled in to feeling pretty comfortable shooting sports of late.  So upon talking to a former student, I decided to venture back into the dark 'bar scene'.  It happens that this former student is a friend of my son and

Have you ever thought about setting goals with your photo hobby? I have people come up to me all the time (well, not ALL the time) to tell me that they want to learn how to do this or that with a camera, but finding the time to do this makes it impossible! One thing that I’ve noticed over the last couple years of reading photo blogs of serious and professional photographers, is that they set

We can learn photography by listening.  I listen to a number of photography podcasts while I run.  I hate running!  But it's the only thing that allows me to keep trekking up the mountain trails in the summer.  To make it less painful, I download podcasts by professional photographers and listen to them on my iPod shuffle while I run (by the way, Apple dropped the price of the shuffle by $30 -

Cold Air + Camera:  Yesterday I wrote about taking pictures in cold, snowy weather.  Latter I realized that I left out a very important point about shooting when it's very cold outside.  Never, never (strong enough?), bring your cold camera directly back into the house.  The warm, moister air in the house will condense all over the surfaces (inside and out) of your digital camera.  Since most of

For my birthday I bought a new pair of snow shoes!  I've wanted a pair for a long time, but had a hard time justifying the expense with the winters we've been having for the last 10 years.  Heck, I even sold my snow blower.  But, then came this winter!  So, this weekend I decided to give them a try on our local golf course.  So, I strapped my camera on and went trekking.  Man it was cold, but

This last month I’ve tried to start an online photo club with the teacher’s at Shepherd. I taught a photography workshop in the media center for about 8 teachers in January. After going through some photography basics, I had them all establish an online site to upload their pictures to. We used Flickr for our online site. Many of you are probably familiar with the flickr site as it has been

Reflections on the bottom of images have been all the rage on the web (well, maybe ‘rage’ is a little too strong a word!). You can accomplish the task in photoshop with a few steps. In fact, you can even make an action to do this. But, not everyone has photoshop (or even photoshop elements for that matter). And, you could even accomplish this with some free image editiors like GIMP. But, if

Do you feel that you're bothering someone whenever you need to ask a technical question. Or, maybe you're like me and think that people believe that you should know the answer. Well, I've found a web site that you can ask and receive no strange looks for the simplicity of your question! It's zolved. Check out the link above. I've found that generally they will get back to you within 24 hours

Have you tried cl1p.net yet? It solves a problem for students. They now can use this page (personalized first) to save their research in the classroom/library and then access it from home to continue their research. It's like having a personal laptop to take with you. You can save your page, password protect it and even hide it from view from anyone else. Two students (or groups of students)

Here I sit with Mr Gross! We're putting the finishing touches on our presentation on Podcasting (Podcasting from the Rockies). It's going to be a little weird. I've learned so much new information about podcasting. I have mixed thoughts about what to include. It seems that I'm changing the presentation everytime I think about it. It probably won't matter. We're the last presentation of the
