News flash. NO FLASH!
If you know nothing about your new camera, and have never ever moved away from the green square mode (auto) I am going to give you one tip that will help you take better photos immediately. What's the tip? Glad you asked.
First lets look at a photo I took at an insanely eclectic Italian restaurant [...]
How to scan 1,000 photos (practically) overnight. Really.
Sure, we are all cool modern photographers now with our digital cameras, USB drives, DVD back-ups and all the rest. But have you given any thought to those hundreds thousands of photos from the land before time digital that are stuck in shoe boxes, sticky photo albums or in slides?
What about photos of YOU as [...]
SkyWatch Friday:Things are looking up!

Is it just me? Or is getting older confusing?
This just in….getting older is hard. And not fun at all. And Oprah saying things like ‘nothing feels better than being in your 50's' is a load of bull-honky.
