Something that i’ve always found difficult to photograph are very smooth, reflective objects. Getting the light just right, keeping your reflection out the photo and fingerprints are just […]

Modern art in my own backyard

Saturday, October 8th, 2005

I live in Texas, so saying something is in Texas is not necessarily in my backyard. In fact Texas is larger then some countries so when you first read something is in Texas you get excited until you find out it’s 11 hours away by car.
I’m not a native Texan so I’ve never heard of […]

Food plus Surrealism equals

Monday, September 26th, 2005

Delta Tango Bravo has a link to a photo gallery by French photographers Pierre Javalle and Akiko Ida.
The photos are one part food photography, two parts surrealism.

Editors Guild magazine has a behind the scenes article talking about the technology behind the movie.

Makes me want to lick the screen

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Yum. delicious days is a food blog with a sense of style. Not only is the site well organized and designed, but the food photography is amazing. Every recipe is accompanied with a set of beautiful photos, showing you how your food should look (my cooking never looks this good…).
Make sure you’re not hungry, […]

File Me Away

Just came across File Me Away, a blog by Josh - who I see is very close by in Plano, TX. The first thing you notice when visiting his site is the large striking image in the header of the page. This is a great way to draw someone into your site. No only […]

You would think there are enough photos of cats out on the net, but Stuff on my cats.com has taken it to a new level. Not only are the photos creative, but very funny.
