Post No. 2500

This blog has hit a milestone. This is the 2500th post since I started “An Artist’s Notebook” on August 9, 2006. A lot of different things have went through these pages over the last 10+ years, but I hope I’ve stayed true to the original vision I laid down in… Read More »Post No. 2500

To a Great 2017!

Pretend like I published this on January 1, just like I meant to do. It is that day at Photography 139 Headquarters where we take down our old Photography 139 Calendar and put it in the trunk with many of the other remnants of our past. We like to think… Read More »To a Great 2017!

Technical Glitch

Because of a technical glitch at Photography 139 Worldwide Headquarters, the post of this week’s submissions won’t occur until this evening. However, you can start working on this week’s theme… SILHOUETTE.

2015

So the walk down memory lane now concludes. With a look at the images that were in the calendar that early this morning will be taken down from kitchen walls (most common place I’ve seen the calendar hung up), office walls, cubicle walls, and placed gently in the trash with… Read More »2015

Website Update

So earlier in the month I alluded to the fact that I have been updating the look and feel of the website. I thought I would explain what has happened, without making you go blind with looking at things like this: Perhaps the most obvious difference is that the website… Read More »Website Update

Sabbatical

A picture I’ve been meaning to post for some time. I just thought I should make a formal announcement that I am going to take a sabbatical from blogging formally. This sabbatical really already began, and I anticipate it lasting until at least May, but maybe longer. This isn’t to… Read More »Sabbatical

Post No. 1718

Now that I am officially caught back up with my blogging, I’d like to do a little bit of general house cleaning and look at some completely meaningless statistics. First of all and most importantly, the Gallery/Store has experienced a complete redesign. It could still be classified as a work… Read More »Post No. 1718

Pixlr Express

Pixlr Express is the best photo editing phone app I’ve come across to date. It has way more functionality than I could ever show examples for, so I’ll just show some screen captures to show how much functionality it has: As you can see, in the adjustment submenu there are… Read More »Pixlr Express

Instagram: Pros/Cons

By far and away, the most popular photo sharing phone app is Instagram. The popularity is almost staggering. 100 million monthly ACTIVE users. 40 million photos per day. 8500 “Likes” per second. 1000 comments per second. It isn’t any wonder why Facebook bought Instagram for 1 billion dollars last year.… Read More »Instagram: Pros/Cons

Flickr

Flickr used to be one of the most popular imaging websites, but then it began to falter a little bit. It hoped to make a bit of a resurgence when there was the big to-do (which was really much to do about nothing) about Instagram changing their privacy policies to… Read More »Flickr

Twitter Filters

Now that I’m returning to photography, (thanks 4 people that noticed!) I wanted to take a little bit of time and look at a few of the phone apps that are out there for Android phones. Instagram made filters extremely popular in the social media realm and caused even larger… Read More »Twitter Filters

A Change of Direction

I’ve decided not to replace my el cheapo point and shoot at this time, so this marks the unofficial official end of the Self-Portrait Project. It just seems that such coin could be better used in another avenue (like a new bike) and I’ve allowed myself to believe that when… Read More »A Change of Direction

Blog No. 1447

Now that I am caught back up, I’d like to step back and take stock of where this journal has went since its inception on August 9, 2006. Since the last time I looked at these statistics, I have completed changed galleries. I can no longer show you what are… Read More »Blog No. 1447

Lightbox

As most of you know, I’m an anti-Apple kind of person. It isn’t the products themselves I’m against, it is just that Apple people drive me up the wall. However, there is one instance where I actually do have a small amount of envy for Apple people. That is that… Read More »Lightbox

Post 1200

As you may recall, I like to check in on some statistics every 100 posts or so to see how things are doing in popularity. However, this statistical check-in will mark the end of an era. I am officially retiring the Snapshots Gallery and the Artistic Gallery. The advent of… Read More »Post 1200
