Tip of the Week

Turn your camera – Look in a studio and what do you see?  Most photographs (other than group shots) are done in portrait.  Yet, many people never turn their camera from landscape (I blame those too skinny, ultra compacts, they are hard to hold in landscape and virtually impossible in portrait).  When you take a picture, stop and take another in portrait.

Site of the Week

http://www.cooliris.com – They make a Plug-in for Firefox (and IE)(formerly called Piclens) which is a cool way to browse pictures in a feed.  It creates a 3D “Wall” of pictures for searching and browsing through pictures.
