Band Photo

So I spent a few hours last night working on a non-cheesy band photo for my band. It seemed like kind of a pain in the ass to coordinate an actual photo shoot, so I took the easy way out and just used a combination of photos from our myspace page, and one from a video I shot of my self. I think it looks pretty cool as far as band pictures go.

Our first show, by the way is May 30th downtown at the Tiger Bar (NOT the Hungry Tiger, this place is on Broadway next to OutsideIn). Get there early 'cause I'm going to try and get 86'd halfway through our set, ha ha, just joking, although please, nobody buy me alcohol in shot form, for the love of god.

Photography in 10 easy steps

Just wanted to post a link to an article on smashing magazine.com on how to improve your photography skills.  It's a good reminder for some of us, and has some great HDR photographs (which serve as a good inspiration to upgrade your camera, if nothing else.  The article can be read here.

It even has a bit of speculation to the direction of art and photography in general, which is nice to ponder over.

Check out the latest internet craze! It's "tilt shift" photography made easy!

This photo was made all miniature like from the website www.tiltshiftmaker.com. You can upload your pictures up to their filter and get some interesting effects by selecting the specific area you want to blur. It's similar to using a "len's baby" on an SLR, which distorts in much the same manner. The site works best on landscape photos that have a great amount of depth of field to be exploited.  This is a photo I took in 2005 from the big hilly park in Prague with the fake Eiffel Tower.  The tower was not photographed.
