I’ve gone global
A few weeks ago I noticed something interesting was happening with the hits on SLR. Suddenly I was receiving a lot of hits from India. Between 1 A.M. and 2 A.M. I saw the total site percentage of hits from India go from 0.01% to nearly 50%. As it turns out, my virus story was...
Dai Sugano: The Forgotten People – Part II
I didn’t want my own reflections to overshadow Dai’s excellent work. So in an attempt to break up the focus, I’ve cut and pasted the second half of the post. There is this school of thought in photojournalism, that in order to remain objective we must remove ourselves from the equation. The idea is that...
Things I wish I knew…

The problem is, in order to get a decent back...

It seems fitting that the most famous purveyors of sampling also give it’s concert goers the same privallege when it comes to a concert film. It’s no...
Ode to the Canon D2000, I still kind of hate you… old friend
The other night Daniel Sato reminded me of Dr. Dennis Dunleavy’s March 2005 post about my experience in Reno, NV for the 2005 NCAA WAC basketball tournament. Dennis wrote: “Tonight, while helping out on the Spartan Daily, we were waiting for Shaminder to email some images he made at a basketball tournament in Reno. When...
New virus targets photographers
A new virus has been making headlines lately, and this one is nasty. It targets photographers who use Photoshop. Which means it targets 99% of us. (It also targets your Microsoft Office files, but we got file info for captions.) It’s a worm that users have unknowingly downloaded to their systems, and it’s set to...
OpenRAW survey looking for your feedback
The OpenRAW initiative is a photography-oriented group that advocates the open documentation of digital camera RAW files.

These actions have...
