Well, it has been nearly 3 weeks since my last update –
sorry for the crazy-long delay – but our move is finally (mostly) over! Over the last 3 weeks I’ve packed and
unpacked over 200 boxes, gone through like 15 boxes of Costco disinfectant wipes,
and realized that one can REALLY stuff a lot of junk into a closet. Honestly, you really don’t know how much junk
you have until you have to move it all!
After finally unpacking the boxes with all my photo stuff, I’m
able to continue with my weekly projects!
Woo! The good news, I had taken
photos for the next two projects and now I just need to edit them and I should
be getting caught up!
Before I go and post my Week 5 project, I wanted to bring up
a few other nifty photo-related items:
·
The editors of PhotoShop User magazine (a great
PS / photography mag) have released their first all-digital magazine called “Light
It” for Apple iPad (available on iTunes, just search for Light It Magazine). The first issue is free, so double
bonus!
·
For those folks in the San Francisco/Berkeley
area in early October (the 1st and 2nd specifically), I’d
highly recommend attending of the many World Wide Photo Walks. For more information on the WWPW, visit:
worldwidephotowalk.com. I believe there
are 3 planned in San Fran and 2 in Berkeley.
It’s a fun few hours walking around with other photographers taking
shots of the city and there are even free prizes to win, so how can you say
no!?
·
Lastly, I just wanted to mention a new service
that I will soon be offering; custom framing.
Many of you already know that I offer custom mat-boarding of photos and
art, but one of the problems has always been finding appropriate sized frames
(at reasonable prices). So, I thought I’d
try and use some of my carpentry skills from long ago and make frames as
well. I’m not exactly sure when I’ll be
offering this service, mostly because I first have to get the equipment and
setup everything – but once I do have everything setup, I’ll be offering a few free
frames, so I can practice. At this
point, the only missing element to the entire “framing” experience will be
having custom cut glass. I’m going to
start by using plastic and see how well that works before attempting
glass.
I’m glad to be back and I hope you will enjoy the upcoming
photos!
Thanks,
Anthony
