Category Archives: Social Media Yesterday, one of the nicest, friendliest, supportive, generous and talented people in the blogosphere, photosphere, Twitter, Facebook and G Plus announced he is taking a hiatus, possibly for good, but certainly for a long time. Toad, aka Scott Johnson, aka husband to the lovely Mrs. Toad, is going to have to stop taking photos and...   There are no Checker taxicabs still functioning as working taxis in New York City. The Checker Taxi Company went out of business in 1982, and I remember as soon as 5-6 years later it became hard to find a checker cab when hailing a cab in the city. There were a handful that held on...  I’m not planning on making this a series, but I happened to discover a pair of iPhone photo apps two weeks in a row that — as best as I am aware — are not already widely known, at least in my circles. Last week it was WordFoto, and this week it is ToonPAINT –...  About a month and a half ago, my buddy Scott Wyden came up with the idea for Self Portrait Friday.* The idea is that every, or at least any Friday, you take a self portrait, probably just using your camera phone, maybe with one of the fun smart phone photo apps, and post it...  I sort of, almost, half-planned, to do a year in review post for 2010 but it just didn’t happen, mostly because I just did an anniversary post for the blog in October. I’m also feeling a bit burned out with some of the social media, self-promotion activities that are ancillary to running a photo blog.... I have set up a Facebook Page for my photography. It has some galleries, an it will have a posted entry linking to each post on the blog. I would appreciate it if you would “Like” the page. For regular visitors, the main benefit iis that it provides an alternative way to keep abreast of...  Yesterday Scott Wyden, who I met through Twitter, posted a challenge to his photographer friends to do their best with what he admitted to be a bad set of brackets. You can read why they are bad brackets at the link. So I gave it a go last night. I did the HDR in Photomatix, then...  So I started this blog one year ago today, and it seems appropriate to do a little retrospective. It began cautiously. I had been thinking of getting serious about photography on and off for a few years. In the summer of 2009 I actually started doing it. I began playing with HDR. I bought Photoshop...  Yesterday I participated in Scott Kelby’s sponsored Worldwide Photo Walk. I took part in the Jersey City edition of the walk, which had many, many such local walks literally around the globe. I chose Jersey City because it is an area I do not know yet is still close and accessible. I chose to bring...  Back in late October 2009, Trey Ratclff at Stuck in Customs used the power of his website to create a Twitter community. His post explains it better than I can summarize, but in short, he invited all of his fans to leave a comment with their Twitter, website and/or Facebook addresses so we could connect... |
