Some thoughts about what I plan to do in 2022, what is holding me back, and how I can overcome it.

My thoughts on losing a childhood hero, and how his words have inspired my photography.

The pre-order period for Luminar is almost over.  Get it now, save money and get some bonuses, too!  Oh and here are 50 things I love about it!

Today I explore creative options in Aurora HDR 2017 from Macphun.  Many people think HDR photos all look the same, but I prove that you can get a wide range of outputs with this powerful product.  Have a look and see which version you like best!

I spend a lot of time thinking about photography, and sometimes I write these thoughts down.  Usually it's in a coherent (at least to me) form with a clear purpose, but not this time.  This is all just off-the-top-of-my-head, so consider that fair warning.  ;-)

Do you use Flickr?  Are you reading the news about Yahoo, Flickr's parent company, being sold off and possibly dismantled?  I am reading it, and I don't like what I hear.  But, maybe there's a silver lining in there.

Recently, I made the switch from using Photomatix to create my HDR photos over to Aurora HDR Pro.  Today, I share my thoughts with you about why I made the switch and what I gained from it.  I think you will enjoy this.

2015 was a great year, and I thank you for your support!

Today's post is a bit personal.  We recently returned from a 7 week journey around the western US, and I have come home a changed man.  Now the question is - in what direction does this change lead me?

I've been taking a break from Facebook, and it's been great.  Here's what I am doing instead, and here's what I have learned.  

Do you ever go back and re-process photos that you have previously shared? I do that sometimes, and find that it's a great creative exercise.  But recently, I HAD to go back and re-create an old photo for a client, and it took me forever to make it look like how it looked when I first processed it, about 5 years ago.  And so I learned a lot in the process - and I am sharing those learnings and my observations in today's post.  Have a look!
