Pogs Back in Style?


Are pogs back in style?

Photojojo seems to think so!

If you have no idea what a pog is, clearly you were not a 90’s kid. Pogs @ Wikipedia

I remember I used to be one of the cool kids that conned their parents into getting the make your own pog kit. Where you’d cut out [...]

Flickr to Explore Places


Cool new feature on Flickr now is that places have pages! A great reason to start geo-tagging, or get a device that geo-tags for you such at the Sony GPS-CS1KA GPS Unit Kit.

Go to Flickr Places and search for where you want to go. Or you can read more about the new feature [...]

Pre-Order Color Index 2 and The Digital Photography Book 2 now!


I was excited when I stopped by Scott Kelby’s Blog this afternoon and saw that The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2 was available for pre-order on Amazon.

I really enjoyed his other book The Digital Photography Book. Though his humor is a bit tiresome in writing, the book still successfully communicated so many great [...]

Blackout Racing Car Shoot


Went and did a quick shoot today with a couple of my friends today. They’re part of the Blackout Racing car club. All-in-all they <3 their Mustangs.

It was chillier than I had anticipated and now I know I am reminded to put “shopping for photo mittens” on my list of things to do [...]

DIY Canvas Photography Backdrop ($20.34)


After reading the Strobist article about Home Depot (cheap) photography solutions I gave dying my own backdrop a shot. It’s not a 100% successful attempt but I learned a lot about what I should do next time.

If you were cool enough to have a browser that could view frames there would be a lovely slideshow here waiting [...]

Wordpress or Pixelpost - Photoblog time


Getting emotionally ready to get childlike.ninedays.org back up and running as a photoblog.

It’s been forever and I’ve got a lot of people to re-connect with via photoblogging.

I was about to unpack Pixelpost and get to going until I stopped and thought to myself about the pros and cons:

PixelPost is made special for photo bloggers, it [...]

Get Garnished


After my smoothie shoot I got to thinking about how the garnish in food photography is probably more important than the food (or beverage) itself.

I am by no means a master chef, so I figure that any future ventures into food photography will likely involve beverages or deserts, so I’ve looked up some articles and [...]

Lemon Berry Smoothie Remix


I have recently become addicted to smoothies. Well not really all smoothies but in general the idea of smoothies.

After perusing All Recipies I found a lemon berry smoothie recipie, and I absolutely had to try it. I’ve read through a smoothie book or two while perusing Borders before and one thing I know [...]

Smoothie Photo Shoot


In an effort to take a picture today I have decided that tomorrow I will post a recipe for the smoothies I make on almost a daily basis.

How will that help me take a picture? Well my dear, for one: there is no photo posted for that recipe on the website the original came [...]
