Photo Memories with Photo Pass Plus
Attendees of the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration got a surprise on opening night when we were all given Photo Pass Plus kits. If you’ve been to a Disney park, you’re probably familiar with the Disney Photo Pass photographers in key photogenic locations around the parks. They take your picture in front of Cinderella’s Castle… …
FlixLab – New Photo and Video Application + $25 iTunes Giveaway
I have a lot of friends and colleagues who are photographers of the “prosumer” variety – that is, they’re not making their living from shooting, but they’re good enough to show off their shots to others. I’m in my own category of “good enough.” Even though I own a DSLR and several video cameras, I …
Have YOU done yours yet?
Done what, you say. Ha! I’m talking about holiday cards, people. There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who get their holiday cards out early, and those who don’t. I’m usually one of the latter. Sure, I’d LIKE to get them done early, but that rarely happens. There are a couple of …
Picture this
Last month, my grandmother reached her 100th birthday. I haven’t talked about it much, mainly because I’m in the process of writing one big whopper of a post about her, in honor of the event. And sometimes good things take time. Last thing she deserves is a half-assed post about her, because she ain’t a …
Photo Effects – Who Knew?
I’ve blogged before about Wiley author Erin Manning and how I learned more about how to get the most out of my point and shoot camera through talking to her and reading her book. So this is going to be another one of those name dropping posts…beware. But you might get some useful photography tips …

Another entry for the Hall of Geek
Finally, I downloaded the pictures from Vegas and came across this gem. Hanging with a Klingon, no better way to turn 40 I alwasy say. In any case, I was working this weekend on getting some of the hundreds of Gerstein photos into some semblance of order, and I came across a couple of gems. I got …
What do YOU want to do better?
Working at PhotoPlus Expo last week, I had the pleasure of working with Ashley, one of the PR folks who I don’t often get to spend time with. Ashley has quite a strong work ethic, and was in the booth working it for most of the show. She, unlike me, never had to take a …
What I learned from Erin Manning
Erin Manning, who I mentioned in an earlier post referring to her new book Portrait and Candid Photography Photoworkshop, is my photography hero. No, seriously, I may be biased, but 5 minutes with her convinced me of several things… 1. My new digital camera (a Canon PowerShot A630) was not engaged in a conspiracy to …
