From GraphPaperPress.com Info from their site about the new theme: For years there’s been only one way to sell stock photography: Do business with a large, corporate stock photography company. Photographers had no choice but to be at the mercy of a company’s shifting rules and regulations. We knew there had to be a better way. So, we set out to build an alternative to the traditional “top-down” stock photography business. We made changes that will have radical results. Brace yourself. Run It Like A Boss Finally you call the shots. Our new WordPress theme, Stock Photography, turns your web site into a stock photography business. Manage your portfolio, blog and stock photography business all from one site. This streamlined approach will save you tons of time; spend it vacationing on an exotic island like the boss that you are. Say My Name For years you’ve been an anonymous cog helping stock photo corporations get bigger and bigger. That ends today. Now, you own the business and the brand. Design it and name it what you want. Build yourself some much-deserved recognition. People will be buying your images and shouting your name from the rooftops in no time. Be Internet […]

Terrible Sci-Fi and a evening alone to eat and relax … I find a few hours off can be like days in my mind. Amazing how perspective can change as you get older and more busy.

In album Wear it on your wrist – no chest harness or other sensors needed. Continuous heart rate monitoring is interesting for both understanding health better and also for tracking. This unit uses bluetooth to connect to a smart phone etc. (not all so be warned) It senses the volume of blood under your skin… go figure.. Sadly none of these devices do it all.. One device that does BP, Heart Rate, BMI, and Pedometer all built into one would be a great solution.. but then you would have a tri-corder. +Fitbit is a great solution for Steps, Stairs, and Calorie burned estimatesThis device is interesting for HR tracking and knowledgeSadly no BP device is available that is not bulky I know +Sharon Strandskov has tried a lot of these devices and is in way better shape than me.. Have you used one of these yet? #mioglobal   #mioalpha   This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+

For those that only take photos of one person at a time – it is always more interesting and in some cases much more difficult to shoot two people together. THe issues range from them hating each other to them clicking perfectly. Direction in a shoot is much more fluid or way too hard to keep under control as everyone thinks they have a better idea and in turn nothing looks right. My weekend tip… branch out and push yourself to shoot out of your comfort zone …. you might be very happy with what you get… or if you do hate it at least you have pushed yourself to better understand a in turn learn something…. Not all learning needs to be a positive experience… This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+

I am not a petition signer – but this one I do agree with for many reasons. Mainly the issue of cutting programs like this based on our government officials not properly knowing how to spend our money.
