Happy Birthday Present To Me; a new book.

This week it's my Birthday. While playing some soccer with my kids last Friday, I was feeling younger than my years. Then when I woke up the next morning, the muscle aches reminded that feeling old is physical, while feeling young is mental. C'est la vie. As a nice Birthday…

No Sympathy for the Devil

Bye, Bye, OnRequest Custom Stock?

Can you get rid of that thing, please?

"Would you mind taking that off? Just set it over there..." So the big question is; would you ask Queen Elizabeth 2 to remove her crown for a portrait photo? I can imagine that words to that effect were asked by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz while she was shooting a…

Newsworthy Space and Science

Boom. Big Badda Boom.

The brightest supernova seen to date is being touted in the media. The Media is here on our little rocky outpost. Fortunately, the supernova is in a galaxy far far away. What I would love to see (at least I think so) is if a star in our own galaxy…

One oops, two oops, three oops, four…

You're called in by your managing editor at the newspaper where you work as a staff photographer. Boss says, "It's come to our attention that you altered a photograph that was printed in the paper". You say, "Opps, that was just a mistake, I accidently sent you the photo I…

No fear of fast food

How hot was it today in Chicago?Apparently it was hot enough for a Coyote to walk into a Quiznos Sandwich shop, and climb up into the refridgerator to get a wee bit cooler. So, you think this animal would have liked to chew a nice salami sub while he was…

Now presenting ViaTube Squarepants

Busy week on the Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Filing front. Viacom, the media mega-giant that owns MTV & VH1 is suing YouTube for unlawful distribution of their copyrightedÂ material.

“A Stand-Out Date”, or “The Importance of Proper Captions and Metadata”

This one actually even needs a third title; "The Year That Really Lept". Here's one I really haven't seen before. I can't imaging any photographer, photo-editor, or news editor letting this one fall through the crack, but MSNBC (and / or Fox) got some serious problems with their ability to…
