National geographic...
I just love National Geographic magazine. The quality of the photographs (and articles) is just the pinacle of adventure photography IMHO. These guys used to go thru an average of 500-1500 rolls of film per article! With digital cameras now, they actually take even more pix. It's just ridiculous...
Anyways, I was happily surprised to find one of their top travel photographers is coming to good ole Toronto for a seminar and I signed up. The seminar is about Travel Photography, and hopefully I'll pick up some good tips on how I can improve my shots. But it's happening in March next year, so I'll bring it back up when the day comes closer.
Other than that, I've steadily been adding to the website. I've got some RSS feeds being published as HTML now under 'Resources' - they're general photography news headlines which are updated regularly by their source sites. Not sure how useable they are to surfers yet. Might move them around the site to make them more accessible - possibly place them on the first page itself. Some pix have been placed under Portfolios as well.
'Bout it for now!

I too am fond of national geographic magazines... but i'm just thinking here, can these people really be 'great' photographers if they develop THAT many rolls of film? i mean comon, if i were to take that many pictures, i'm sure i'd get at least 20 or so GREAT shots which I could probably put on national geographic too...
Heh, yeah I've heard that argument as well. I guess I neglected to mention these assignments take at least a few months to complete. Apart from that no, I don't think regular snapshooters can take the kind of shots most National Geographic photographers can - they actually use a lot of flash, lights, reflectors etc. in the background which you don't see. All the readers see is a beautiful picture - but usually never have an inkling of how much work went into that one shot... and that, to me at least, takes skill! :)
