As a part of the Visual Artist’s Collective, I was fortunate enough to have six pieces of my photography on display at the BB&T in McDonough.  The mini-display is one of a few that are managed by the VAC in cooperation with local businesses and organizations.  The exhibit will be swapped out every month.  The […]

A lot of the photos and tutorials, and to some extent the resources, have a serious tone to them.  Last night I decided to have a bit of fun and what better way than to create a project which enables you to laugh at yourself? Creative self-portraits are fun, but can be a little tricky.  […]

Yea, I know what you are thinking.  Uh, Dub, what the hell is up with Natasha Bedingfield?  Well, believe it or not, I like to listen to all types of music and even country is growing on me.  Not much though.  It is more like a very slow fungus that moves at an extremely slow […]

I have been “protected” for about a year now via Norton and felt that I was reasonably secure.  Yet when the subscription ran out I continually ignored the warnings to upgrade, probably because I really didn’t want to come out of pocket for anything.  So it was no real shock to me when my computer […]

 So this was […]

Recently I had my first photo stroll with some really great people: South Atlanta Flickr.  The group’s admin, Julie Harnage, and a few others continued after I had to leave.  I wish I had stayed as she captured this shot:

Last week I finally made a purchase of a new lens.  If you ask my buddy Dave, he will tell you “’bout time” as I have been discussing this for too long.  On Friday, my Sigma 10-20mm lens arrived and I couldn’t be happier.
As you know, the cost of everything is going up.  Buying a […]

Lately, I have been inspired by and heavily relying on some of the wonderful textures to be had via Flickr.  I realized that instead of simply taking all of the time, it would be kind to give back a little.  So that is what I did.

You surely have seen those who have found an old family photograph and paid to have it “restored” to appear newer, repair scratches, rips, and tears, and to even convert a black & white photograph into something with more color.  How about the reverse process, taking something new and making it appear aged and worn?  […]
