Description: Back in the glory days of the 1980, the Transformer known as Ravage was a robot in the disguise of a cassette tape. These days, he’s definitely more than meets the eye, in the form of this much more modern 2GB USB drive.

This was shot forever ago.. one of my first shoots actually….  This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+

They can bring really cool effects, mood, and interest to shots but I think I have found myself shooting and thinking more about post process than about the shot I am taking at the time and making it a really good shot. I think this might be an issue, and I think I need to change that theory of shooting. I am not sure I am lazy, or I think it might be just easier to concentrate less on current shot specifics, dynamics and production details. But I do think it is making my final product suffer. As an example this shot below, it is not bad, I hate the arm and left hand position. I wonder if I was even thinking about that arm position when I was taking the shot, or was I think about how this shot would look in post with filters applied? Or was I not even caring about the shoot enough to see the issues. Pose, backdrop, floor ac vent, dark pillow on a light couch etc.. It is clear to me to advance my photography it will require me to really start to pay attention to the details and not get or continue […]

Very impressive artwork by +Artgerm™ Stanley Lau  Found over on Deviantart.com – but glad to see a G+ profile here… If you like super heroes you should take a minute to go look.. http://artgerm.deviantart.com/art/Breezy-Day-139817701?q=gallery%3Aartgerm%2F157933&qo=114 Breezy Day by `Artgerm on deviantART My take on Power Girl. I kinda like her costume. Done in Painter and Photoshop. No ref except for her costume. Power Girl belongs to DC Comics. This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+

Hey followers can you confirm something for me that I think I have correct but probably do not… In the example notifications below: Both were shared "directly" with me.. the top one was "public" and the second was "limited".  The limited one is simple to understand as it seems it was only shared with me – Why I have a supposed 6th grader sharing to me direct and limited is beyond me, somewhat strange and in some ways I think a way to block those under specific ages might actually be something to think about as depending on the truth of that share – I am not sure many 6th graders should be on social networks at all without parental supervision or at least guidance. In the first share am i correct in saying that the only way to share to public but also to share direct is to check the notifications box to alert those in your public circle that you posted.? I have seen a ton of direct share, notified posts this past week… as in a major surge in them… So either something changed, or this is the new G+ way to spam people, or simply people do […]

Reshared post from +Reuters The Man is engulfed in flames during the Burning Man 2012 "Fertility 2.0" arts and music festival in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, September 1, 2012. More than 60,000 people from all over the world have gathered at the sold out festival, which is celebrating its 26th year, to spend a week in the remote desert cut off from much of the outside world to experience art, music and the unique community that develops.

In album September 2, 2012 (1 photo) Yes it works great…  Now all I really need is an Android version of +Catherine Hall 's release app http://www.topmodelrelease.com   This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+

I agree +Catherine Hall and crew did a great job on this model release application… It is the nicest one I have used. Unlike +Sam Breach I have not yet used it for a real shoot yet… But I have played with it and set it up…. It gives a really nice output to the client and the photographer…. Reshared post from +Sam Breach I just want to shout out to +Catherine Hall. I recently brought this Model Release App and just used it for real for the first time this morning. It's simple to use and incredibly useful. You get to store a photo with the release, both parties can add a signature and it emails a copy of the release to every one as a PDF.  It's great to know that you can have a model release form at your finger tips wherever you happen to be, all via your iphone. It's pricey for an App, $8.99, but worth every penny for the convenience, ease of use and quality of the experience. Thanks Catherine! Top Model Release – HOME A Photographer’s App. Crafted by an Industry Leader. Top Model Release is a sleek, intuitive iPhone app that lets […]

I could spend a ton of money I do not have with this company designing my ultimate workstation.. http://www.winsted.com Their free software is fun to experiment with or as I like to call it dream….

Also – I am making two circles – One for actual Active Glamour & Model Photographers and one for people that just like seeing the type of photos posted below…. PLEASE CLAIM A CIRCLE POSITION BELOW …ie: leave me a comment and say where you might want to go.. the Active Glamour Circle will be small and will bring together active glamour and model photographers to help share ideas etc.. The other is for anyone that wants to see images like this in a more select intimate circle atmosphere…..  Sorry I have been slacking it seems.. met with a new Physical Therapist and now I get to concentrate on fixing me for awhile.. but I am hoping to keep up with this project…. "your broke, but you can fix you" Hey thanks.. I thought I am paying you to fix me.. the me fixing me thing has not been working out to well… And if you are over on +500px take a second if you feel like it should get a vote.. http://500px.com/photo/12978107 View this post on Google+

Thanks +Ryan MacLean  Reshared post from +Ryan MacLean Make Lightroom Faster! Simple Lightroom 4 hack that allows you to remove modules from the binary, making things faster. If, like me, you're still having LR4 speed issues – try this out. I can't say it completely resolved the issues I was having, but overall the app does seem a bit snappier! NB: on a Mac, you'll need to right-click the Lightroom 4.app file and show package contents in order to start trashing things from within the "plugins" folder. I'd recommend making a backup copy in case you ever want to use the map, book and web modules that you'll no doubt remove. This post has been reshared 3 times on Google+ View this post on Google+
