New Photo Gallery
I’ve just posted a gallery of some my best photography work. I immensely enjoyed taking and editing all of them and they represent many memorable experiences. So I hope you will stop by and take a peek.

Photo Makeover
Excellent set of techniques from Blog.SpoonGraphics to apply to just about any photo in Photoshop and make it better.
Artists of Photoshop
If you want to OD on Photoshop inspiration this is the place to do it – Artists of Photoshop. The site features Photoshop artists apparently submitted by viewers and rated by viewers. Each featured artist image is a link to their web site where you can peruse their full portfolio. Be prepared to spend some time if you are a photoshop junkie.
Life Photo Archive on Google
Thanks to Imaging Insider for this bit of cool photographic news.
Press Release :: OVER 10 MILLION IMAGES FROM THE LIFE PHOTO ARCHIVE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE.
“The LIFE Photo Archive featured on Google will be among the largest professional photography collections on the Web and one of the largest scanning projects ever undertaken. Millions of images have been scanned and made available on Google Image Search today with all 10 million images to be available in the coming months.”
Killer Texture Site
[CG Textures] claims to be the worlds largest FREE texture site. Who knows maybe they are. They have a ton of ‘em thats for sure. The “bone” texture category was kind of unexpected. It warrants a visit if you’re looking for a cool texture.
PhotoWalk Winners
If you are at all familiar with Scott Kelby (NAPP, Kelby Training, Photoshop TV, Layers Magazine etc., etc.) you’ve probably heard about the World Wide PhotoWalk he held this past weekend. I followed it intently even though I was unable to participate. It strikes me that nothing could be more inspiring than to walk with other passionate photographers as a group and actively share that passion. The next best thing is to peruse these winning shots from the event. Inspiring! Makes me want to go on a photo walk of my own.
Better Black and White
Improving your black and white photos is anything but black and white. If you’ve tried to find good techniques for doing this you know they are as numerous as the pixels in your image. So add this tutorial to your list, but don’t rush, its a good one and worth learning.
Borders Under a Minute
Nice little tutorial for creating quick photo edges. A very flexible technique.

Bring In Some Light
Wow! Almost 2 months since my last post. I can’t let that happen again.
Found this helpful tip on saving underexposed photos in Photoshop. I partially used the technique in the photo below, plus a few tricks of my own.
