Weekly Assignment We finished up our Landscapes (Foregrounds) assignment this week as we challenged you to shoot a landscape photo where the foreground had something of interest in it. Often times we shoot landscapes where we see a gorgeous background, but there’s nothing in the foreground to draw us into the rest of the image. Our [...]

Saturday Shout Out

Shout-out (n.) Slang. 1. To acknowledge with respect. 2. A kind mention of a homey. 3. Like when rappers thank people when they make a CD. Source: Urban Dictionary All right, I know, I haven’t been giving my homeys the mad props they deserve lately. I’ve received thousands of petulant emails from readers demanding to know [...] Related posts:

Don’t Wear “Pre-Visualization Blinders”

administrator — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 12:25:24 +0000

At the tail end of my recent two week Lake Superior tour, I decided to go after a shot I had been planning for quite some time.
