Top Photos From 43 Portfolios
2008-06-06 16:25:00 On May 19, I announced that the Fine Art Photoblog was accepting portfolios to fill two new spots. In just two weeks, we had 43 outstanding portfolios come through: a few familiar names, and many new ones.

So Many Cameras - So Little Time
2008-05-29 18:48:00 Cameras, Cameras, everywhere. Sometimes I feel like we get so caught up in ?the now? with the digital age and the boom of the dSLR, that many of us probably forget about all the other cameras out there. I?ve been doing a lot of wandering around on eBay lately (which has already caused me to buy four new cameras) and it?s quite apparent that there are a ton of cameras out there that don?t fall into the dSLR classification. So this is just kind of a fun little post that takes a look at each of the main types of cameras still in use today. More About: Time , Equipment , Cameras

Ten Reasons to Love Cross Processed Film
2008-05-23 09:06:00 First of all, film is great. You guys are probably going to get sick of hearing about film from me over the next couple of months ? I just bought two more cameras and a gob of film to run through them. I?m fairly new to film, but I?m already starting to set a few personal preferences. I?ve shot two rolls of color film: one roll of Ektachrome cross processed and one roll of Velvia not cross processed. I should?ve cross processed the Velvia too. Don?t get me wrong, standard color film photos have their place and I?m not knocking them. But for my own artistic preferences, I find the cross processed photos to be more interesting and captivating. Here are some reasons why I love cross processed film.

My Attraction to A World Without Color
2008-05-16 21:15:00 A few weeks back, I posted a poll asking what I should write about. One of the more popular questions was ?What?s the attraction of B/W and how do you pick which photos to process that way?? asked by Neil Creek. That?s a really great question, but its one that I hadn?t thought about prior to being asked. I suppose I am a little heavy on the black & white stuff on my Flickr Stream, and it?s not unusual for me to post long stretches of grayscales. In fact, my ?Black & White? set is one of my largest sets with over 225 photos. Its not that I?m trying to force all those black and white photos? they just happen. So Neil?s question got me thinking about why I hold such a preference. More About: World , Color , Features , Attraction
